Potential fix for any other controller players who feel like movement got worse or "sticky" after the April Update

Hey all, apologizes if this was already covered in another topic, but I searched the sub for controller posts and didn't see mention of this in the last two days and it had a pretty huge impact on me, so I'm sharing it here in case it helps anyone else:

The patch this week added option settings for analog stick deadzones. This is in the notes and seems like a simple-but-useful addition, but there's a massive catch...

* In a normal game, all deadzone settings do is increase or reduce the amount of tilt (off of neutral resting position) needed before the analog stick begins reading input.

* In Lost Ark, whether by intent or by mistake, the new deadzone settings have a secondary effect: The higher the deadzone setting, the more bias the controller shows for cardinal directions. Say you're running due west, but then you want to angle just a few degrees toward the south. With the new deadzone settings at their default value (50%), the game will actually ignore several degrees of adjustment on the controller if you are deviating off of pure up/down/left/right.

I could tell the control felt "bad" yesterday but couldn't pinpoint why, then it finally dawned on me that my guys weren't moving as smoothly as they used to. The new default deadzones create a very obvious "hitch" before the game begins to read non-cardinal input, making character rotation feel sluggish or unresponsive.

The fix is to go into [Settings > Gamepad > Additional Options] and crank those deadzones way down. I could still tell the hitches were there at 25%, but it felt much more tolerable than default. I further dropped them to 10% and it feels quite smooth, more-or-less like it did before the patch. There's a point where if you get it too low, there's a risk of stick "snap" causing you to abruptly face the wrong direction, so turning it off entirely is probably not the best solution.
