Must feel like a totally different game.

Par for the course for Project Cars games. Both games were released to market in damn near-alpha state.

But, of course, the geniuses at Slightly Mad Studios never will acknowledge problems with the game, even while issuing patch after patch.

And despite a rewrite of the game's code from the ground up, Project Cars 2 still remains almost unplayable with a controller on the Xbox One.

Nice job, SMS.

I was just about to ask; regarding a controller. Was PC1 similar on a controller.

Thanks

It took me about 10 hours of online research and tinkering -- no joke -- to find settings that worked for me, but PC1 was playable with an Xbox One controller. Not great, but playable.

I'm approaching that amount of time trying to find Xbox One controller settings that work with PC2 and all of its patches, with no luck.

Both Project Cars games are designed for PCs. The port to consoles for PC1 and PC2 has been a joke. A shame, as the franchise has so much potential.

Stick to quality titles like F1 2017, Forza 7, WRC 7 and NASCAR Heat 2 to satisfy your real world-based racing jones on the Xbox. PC2 isn't worth the frustration or the money. Not even close.

Even with popular controller settings I found on forums and Youtube; the game is tough with a controller, even with assists on or off. Sometimes with the slightest pressure your car just spins or overcompensates and you’re sent crashing into a wall.

With PC2 I'm back to using the default controller settings and it feels pretty good. Depends on the car. Some cars the front end gets a bit lose and does a bit of swaying but at least I can play the game now.

I found some settings last night that look absolutely stupid on paper but work well with GT3 cars. Still testing them to see how they work with other cars and also to check I didn't have too many beers last night.

A guy named kevinkirk posted the settings in the thread linked below. Nearly everything on zero except for a couple of values:

Miracles upon miracles: I may have found two sets of controller settings that work with the new patch on the Xbox One.

OPTION #1

Set every setting to 0 except for speed sensitivity to 95 and force feedback to 100. I use automatic clutch, so you can leave those at default.

I know this sounds whack, but it works well with lower-powered GT and open-wheel cars. Just be progressive and gentle with steering and turn in a bit earlier than expected, waiting for car to settle at apex before hammering the throttle on exit. In other words, drive like a real race driver would.

OPTION #2

Steering Deadzone 1
Steering Sensitivity 10
Throttle Deadzone 1
Throttle Sensitivity 35
Brake Deadzone 1
Brake Sensitivity 45
Clutch Deadzone 10
Clutch Sensitivity 25
Speed Sensitivity 95
Controller Damping 70
Controller Vibration 100
Minimum Shift Time 0
RPM/Gear Display On

My quickest lap with these settings with a GT3 at Brands Hatch Indy are within two-tenths of each other. Good consistency with both. Still deciding which one I like best, but both are solid.

There is hope for PC2 with an Xbox One controller! Give these a try and let me know what you think and also about your suggested tweaks, and why you made them.

Remember, everyone's driving style is different. These may not work for you. Drive it like you stole it, and offer feedback!

Thanks.

Upon further review and tweaking, I've all but given up finding Xbox One controller settings for Project Cars 2 that work with a wide variety of cars. Some work with GT and prototype cars but don't work with open-wheel cars, and vice-versa.

I think I'm done with this game. This hobby is supposed to be fun, and finding solid, universal PC 2 controller settings requires far too many headaches and far too much time to get even close to right. The game was made for a wheel. Period.

I'll just stick with the original Project Cars when I have the jones for a Swiss Army knife racing game that focuses on competition and not car collecting. That game was flawed as hell, but at least I have a controller setting that works halfway decent with a wide variety of cars.

I don't NEED PC 2. I already have fine racing titles in F1 2017, WRC 7, Forza 7 and NASCAR Heat 2, with Isle of Man TT releasing next week.

I'm thinking that this game was made for steering wheels and not controllers. I'm still able to play but like you said going from car class to car class can be frustrating.

I reinstalled Project Cars on my original Xbox One and took it for a spin with the controller settings I found and liked with a variety of cars in that game. Very fun.

Then I tried those same settings in a last-ditch attempt to salvage Project Cars 2 on my Xbox One with a controller. Still pure sh*t.

Project Cars 2 has slightly better graphics than its older brother. Slightly better AI. A few more cars and tracks. A cleaned-up menu system. But where it really counts, in the cockpit, Project Cars is superior with a controller on the Xbox One.

It's not even close.
