Good Morning, I just recently reinstalled oblivion after about a 4 month break and I am having some movement issues. I have had it working in the past perfectly following the instructions listed here. The issue I am getting is that when moving foward sometimes I move diagonally to the right and/or sometimes if I let my charachter just stand still for a while the will start creeping(moving very slowly) to the right as well. Everything else works fine, hotkeys, button configuration etc. I believe with my last setup, about 6 months ago, I reconfigured something in the ini to stop this diagonal movement....... I don't remember. I know this is not a very active thread since the instructions are very thorough, I am stumped so I figured I would send this out to see if anyone else had similar problems and knew how to correct. Any assistance would be appreciated.

If, when you uninstalled the game, you did not follow these steps, you could have a borked ini file

1. Back up any Saves to another location (see #4).
2. Run the Uninstaller.
3. Find the Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion folder and manually delete it.
4. Find the <>/My Documents/My Games/Oblivion folder and delete it. Note, this is where your Saves are, so this is your last chance to back up.
5. Empty the Recycle Bin.
6. Do a http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;331796
7. Install the Game and then Patch it.

What I would try first is to delete the INI file in My Documents/My Games/Oblivion and restart the game. Then go in and make the INI changes specified in the beginning of this thread after the game has created the INI file (which means you have to play through to the exit of the sewers to the outside world. Put it the Difficulty Slider on Easy if you can handle the keyboard.

is there any way to tweak the left stick directions? it seems like my controller doesnt give me much room to walk forward, and likes to make me run diagonally a lot. if im running forward and i move the stick even the slightest to the left my character will run as if you were holding A and W. this is really annoying as im constantly running in a zig zag motion with my controller. I'm using Xpadder with my Logitech Dual Action controller, any help would be great!

Also for anyone using the xpadder program to emulate the mouse movements, if you would like a more precise aim (more like the 360 settings) then set your right stick mode to Cursor and change the deadzone to about 40-45. after I changed those looking around was quite pleasant!

Ummm... did you buy a receiver for the wireless controller? No it does not work using the Plug - n- Play charge kit with a wireless, but a wireless does work on a PC with a receiver. I use my wireless controller with a receiver and it works just fine.

Okay, I have been doing a little research and found out that the reason I couldn't use my 360 controller is because it is wireless. I was plugging it into my computer using the charging cord. Apparently, it doesn't work that way. Only the wired controller will work on pc and 360. The wireless will only work on 360.

You're sure ALL of the in game options for the gamepad are BLANK? Those programs don't use the gamepad settings from the ingame options, make sure you don't have something conflicting.

Then it's either a driver or a hardware problem, since it works for others. What driver do you have installed for the 360 controller?

The official one. The controller works fine with other games.

Well I don't know how to help you then. So I'll just post the related part of my oblivion.ini and you can experiment from there. My setup works fine with xpadder.
