    Why pressing LT switches my left and right analog sticks


    In mw2 & now mw3 pressing LT switches my left analog to aim and right analog to move. When I release it it switches back to normal. Seems to only happen with MW2 & MW3 games. All other FPS works well. I tried different controllers, different mix matching aiming settings ( default, tactical with southpaw etc), updating profiles, uninstalled/reinstall game(several times) master reset Xbox series X, even deleted & made new activision account. After all that, I only installed MW3 since this started when MW2 was installed. I believe it's a bug with the game not the controller. Nothing worked problem still there. Unplayable

    Why pressing LT switches my left and right analog sticks

    Hi David

    The problem seems to be with the previous profile account. I made up a new profile account and everything worked well. No controller issues. I noticed it's only with mw2&mw3 games. I tried other FPS games with no issues. The question is how to transfer everything I had from the 1st account to the new one. Is it even possible? Or can I just share with the 2nd account? Is there any way to clean out my 1st account?

    I have lots of stuff in that account. Thanks for the help.

    Hello Ricardo G, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    The behavior you described, where pressing LT in the MW2 and MW3 games causes the left and right analog sticks to swap functions, is not common behavior in those games. You may be experiencing a specific issue with your setup or hardware.

    Here are some suggestions that might help you solve the problem:

    Check controller settings: Make sure the controller settings in the game are correct. Review the game settings section and verify that the buttons are mapped correctly. There may be some incorrect configuration that is causing the joysticks to swap functions.

    Try another driver: If possible, try using another driver to see if the problem persists. This will help you determine if the problem is related to a specific driver or if it is more generalized.

    Update the game: Make sure you are using the latest version of the MW2 and MW3 game. Game updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements that could fix issues related to driver settings.

    Contact the game's support: If you have tried all the above solutions and the problem persists, I would recommend that you contact the game's support. They will have access to more detailed information about the game and will be able to provide you with personalized assistance to resolve the problem. Look for the technical support option for the MW2 and MW3 game on the official Activision or Infinity Ward channels.

    Remember that game support is the most trusted resource for resolving specific game issues. They will be able to guide you through the necessary steps to fix the problem and make the game playable again.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best regards.

    If you can't transfer progress from your first account to your second, one option could be to share the desired items between both accounts. Some games have the option to transfer items or gift them to other players, so you could try transferring your items or progressing to your new account this way.

    As for clearing your first account, it will depend on the game and the options you offer. Some games allow you to delete or reset an account, but this may mean losing all your progress and associated content.
