please help i have a bug thats making elden ring nearly unplayable

hello so a weird bug started happening to me today in elden ring it started with torrent galloping for like less than a couple seconds and then he basically stops fully and after continues into a small gait and i made sure i was holding my left thumb stick properly and i was pointing it straight ahead (xbox one controller by power a on pc and i haven't dropped it or anything and i unplugged it and plugged it back in again and it still happens) and it still happened :/ and then it started happening to my character as well ill be walking and then my character will just stop dead in their tracks, ive tried closing the game and reopening and it doesn't work, ive tried re calibrating my controller ive tried basically everything and to see if it was the controller itself i booted up bg3 but it seems to not be happening in bg3? should i try using canned air on the space between my thumb stick and the inside of the controller? I haven't even had the controller for like 3 or 4 years and it was working fine the last time i used it and i haven't had any problems with my controller at all in general nor with elden ring until this point. The general elden ring settings were working fine for me too besides swapping the x and y buttons. I cant go into combat like this let alone play the game in general please please if someone has also had this bug please how did you fix it? TwT i just wanna play the gameee

Maybe your game file has become corrupt. You can check for that by verifying the integrity of the game files, as follows:

In your library, right-click on Elden Ring.
Select 'Properties',
go to the tab 'installed files'.
Click on the last entry, 'verify integrity of game files'.

Also, I highly recommend using paragraphs in your post.

Do you use any other bluetooth peripherals that might interfere with inputs? Such as a bluetooth mouse or keyboard? If so, try disconnecting them and see if it helps.

Unreadable wall of text...

OP for the love of god, use paragraphs.

Now from what I was able to decipher from your wall of text, this isn't a bug with the game and has everything to do with your controller itself or its configuration.

For cleaning Xbox controllers you typically need to open them up to do anything truly effective.

On the configuration side of things, check Steam Input. You can adjust the size of the deadzone. You can also just turn Steam Input off and see if that fixes it.

loool, ironically, this is OP's first post EVER, you might actually help him at making better posts in the future KEKW (but OP is somewhat "original", to remain polite, profile checks out, so... Who knows if he'll learn?)

Added a few punctuations and spaced out a bit. I hope it makes it readable.
