Huh, that's weird, I haven't run into anything like that in my testing but I'll play a match tonight to see if I can replicate it. Gyro can be enabled/disabled from the Setup -> Controls menu in the main menu of the game (not the in-game/in-match menu at the moment) . Unfortunately there's no options to adjust the joystick sensitivity in-game (this is an issue with the ioquake3 engine in general since the joystick code is quite hacky, I'm hoping to implement some custom sliders eventually when I better understand .QVM code) but you can use the console commands "/j_pitch VALUEHERE" and "j_yaw VALUEHERE" to adjust the right-stick sensitivity, the defaults for yaw being -0.008 and pitch 0.007, or you can modify those values in q3config.cfg.
Is it possible to invert the y-axis of the right analog stick ?

Hey everyone, sorry for the inactivity, my health hasn't been great recently on top of being super busy, but I finally had some time and energy to get my Switch set up again & recompile this after getting reports that both OpenArenaNX and Q3ArenaNX stopped working some firmware update ago. I released a hotfix that should solve everything, and VoyagerNX will also get a hotfix ASAP!

https://github.com/faithvoid/OpenArenaNX/releases/tag/0.7.8.1

If you have any issues or code modifications you want pushed to the source code, reach out on GitHub and I'll see what I can do. I'm still researching the ioquake3 source code to figure out how to add a settings toggle for the gyro controls as well as trying to debug the mystery sleep crash issue that's plagued all of my ioquake3 projects, so any help at all on either of those fronts is much appreciated!

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
