Xbox Camera Sensitivity: Needs separate mode for flashlight
On Xbox (Series X) I had to turn my camera sensitivity up to 100% to allow myself to be on par with pc players. This discovery was AMAZING! I can finally loop killers and escape chases.
However...
High camera sensitivity makes using flashlight wayyy more difficult. Even the slightest move of the joystick makes the beamer fling in the most stupid directions.
There needs to be separate camera sensitivity options for flashlight use, especially for gamepad/controller users.

The issue isn't camera sensitivity, it's joystick deadzones, and it's as much of a problem on PS as well, and just as it's a pain for flashlights, it also makes ranged killers virtually unplayable. You try to aim at a survivor, but every movement of your thumb massively overshoots your target, forcing you to repeatedly correct your aim, wasting absolute shitloads of time.
Most games have a gradual zone where sensitivity increases from 'dead' to... whatever you've set as your max sensitivity. This allows you to have finer control over your camera movement. DBD has nothing like that, it's on or off, nothing in between.
E.g. by changing your camera sensitivity settings, all you're doing is changing the colour of that circle. Without deadzone settings, its still just a solid colour.

I have never seen this infographic before. Care to explain how its drastically different than Dbds?

You won't have, I literally just made it.
What else do I need to explain?

No it's honestly useful. I usually play gyro in shooters so Im not use to stick controls. If Xbox One had gyro I'd be so much better at Trickster.

Another interesting thing: You see the black circle around the graphic you made on the right? That is the point you have to push the controller to run (even though there is a run button). As your controller wears out, it will struggle to hit that line and you end up running slightly slower than people playing on new controllers and KB/mouse.
The amount of times I've had to "race" my team-mates just to see if my controller needed replacing is quick shocking.

Is that true though? I think movement (left stick) and looking around (right stick) do have some gradual zone - it is possible to tipple tap on controller with slowest movement after all.
the problem in DbD for me is that there isn’t any setting to adjust it. And it’s a dead zone problem (black zone) as much as a response curve problem (colored gradient). At least on Steam I am able to set these things to some degree..
and aiming like op described it has something to do with sensitivity - as you don’t want the same kind of sensitivity/response curve on aiming (flashlight or ranged killer) as you have for looking around/changing directions in chases
