Game: Controller Issue with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

Problem:
I bought Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light on Steam during their holiday sale. Everything works great until when I start using my generic USB controller. The right-analog stick suppose to let you aim the weapon at the direction you press. But instead Lara just draws the weapon and then put it right back, and keep switching back and forth.

Solution:
Turns out the joystick of my controller still work while ANALOG mode is OFF, although it behaves differently (depends on the game).

1. Check the ANALOG button on your controller and ensure it is ON.
2. In the gamepad configuration of the game, change Gamepad Axes to Z Axis & Z Rotation. It may vary for your controller.

Finally, I would recommend changing the button configuration to match with the PS3 one. Sadly the game does not work with MotioninJoy's PS3 controller driver, so I can't play it with my actual PS3 controller.
