I've been really, really psyched to play this game using my xbawks controller on pc since i've read that the game fully supports it.

Well, "full support" means "lol u be fcked" (as in many other games), i can't configure my controller's deadzone. Its left stick is usually tilting a tiny bit forward, thus making the character constantly move and messing up menu navigation.

This issue can NOT be solved outside of the game, as Microsoft left it to the developers to set the deadzone. There is no way to do it otherwise.

So, is there any hidden ini-line to do so or similar?

I'm using x360ce now to emulate an Xbox 360 controller using my Xbox 360 controller... If only i'd known about this 3 years ago.
