I frequently face problems linking my Xbox one controller to the PC. When I search, many people mention aim assist. It seems some think it’s unnecessary. The console games like Call of Duty Black Ops 3 actually include this feature. You can turn it off in the game settings on Xbox One. When aim assist is active and you’re aiming down sights, a target passes by and the gun tries to track it—that’s what aim assist does. I’m hoping Linus Media Group could verify this for me but see the same experience on PC. Try using the Xbox controller yourself and confirm aim assist works. It’s frustrating when PC users who rely on keys and mouse find it hard, especially since they’re asking for help with controllers on the PC. While consoles are slower, it’s important to let more people join PC gaming without being turned away.
I'm not familiar with that, but I mainly play on my PS4 controller for racing and sports games—sometimes even GTA just for the fun.
I set up my PC on a 50-inch TV in the living room and like gaming on the sofa with a wireless Xbox One remote. I want to try CS:GO since it supports controllers like Shift 2, Bo3, and 2, but it doesn’t support the Xbox One X controller. Anyone know if Tom Clancy’s Division works with an Xbox One X?
Actually, point 3 is misunderstood. Aim assist isn’t meant to work this way. Using controller sticks is less precise than using a mouse. When you move the stick or sight toward the enemy, it tends to lock onto that unit. However, maintaining close proximity—right next to the target—is essential for it to function properly. Otherwise, it could feel like cheating. There are also PC games (especially console ports) that include aim assist as an option when a controller is connected. It wouldn’t make sense to test this approach. The gameplay varies even between consoles and platforms. If someone keeps making such remarks, you can just ignore them. For instance, I dismiss anyone who claims they’re PCMR—clearly, I don’t want to waste time on their nonsense after that comment.
Certainly PC titles often include aim support for controllers, letting players switch it on or off.
It might not have been intended, but in BF4 that’s precisely what occurs. Shooting at someone while a random enemy passes by pulls your aim off track. Largely due to excessive AA issues... That’s the reality.
When you glance at my post, you’ll notice I mentioned aim assist is quite significant in the game.
