How can I change my controller's look sensitivity?

I am playing NMS on a PC using an Xbox 360 controller, and I noticed that my look sensitivity is low. Changing the sensitivity in the options menu does not change the actual sensitivity on my controller (there's no difference between 100 and 0). However, when I switch to using a mouse, then the look sensitivity works fine.

Is there any way to fix this so that I can change my controller sensitivity?

This seems to be a bug, but there are many factors that could be causing it. There could just be an issue with this very buggy PC release, as others are having the same issue.

Or it could be my PC. I have a Lenovo G505s with Windows 8.1, my processor is an AMD A10-5750 APU with Radeon(tm) HD graphics, and my graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 8650G. I currently only have OpenGL 4.4 on my PC, but have gotten NMS working by using this workaround.

It looks like you'll have to change settings in your files themselves.

Go to the folder where you installed the game, if it's on steam like me it's in steamapps. My path looked something like this: \steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS

In the settings folder, find the file called "GCUSERSETTINGSDATA" Open the file using notepad or other similar text reader and just change the number in - "LookSensitivity" value= "100" - to the value you want.

It is capped to 100 in game and you can change it over that limit in this file. In my case I changed it from value="100" to value="150"
