Issues playing with Controller

Post by MystyPirate »

I just recently started getting into Doom, Doom mods and using UZDoom. I only have a laptop and small desk and playing mouse and keyboard is not the most comfortable with the current setup so I prefer to use a controller. (Xbox One) However something I've noticed while using it is that the player character moves a lot slower while playing with the controller compared to the keyboard--Approximately half the speed. I have autorun enabled for both so it's not that I'm walking and not running. The controller itself doesn't seem to be the issue cause I use it for other games just fine, no stick drift or anything.
It's common for Doom to require the player to run at a certain speed to clear gaps but every time this comes up in game I have to temporarily use the keyboard cause the players movement is too slow to clear those gaps when I use the controller. And it would be nice to move faster to evade enemy fireballs and have that classic fast-paced runnin' and gunnin' action doom is known for while using the controller.

Is this a known issue? Or is it just something I'm missing in the settings?

I'm using the current version of UZDoom (UZDoom v4.14.3) and the laptop is running Windows 11
