[FIXED][SOLUTION] Little brother constantly goes upper left
I know that this problem was discussed several times, but there's still no solution that works for me.
The game also don't see my x360 gamepad, but Xpadder solved this issue for me. But still the little brother goes left.

What I tried so far:
-update drivers for pad, keyb and mouse
-use x360c to disable unwanted devices (this let me use gamepad in menu but not in game and still little one is going left)
-use pinnacle game profiler
-unplug the pad
-unplug the mouse
-unplug my wacom graphic tablet
-start game without launcher
-start game from big picture mode

Any solutions?

//EDIT--------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIXED

Here's the solution:
Sometimes (most times actually) Win7 and Win8 installs xbox360 controller as two devices.
You can check that in gamepads settings in control panel (or win+r and write joy.cpl).
In this window you'll see your XBOX360 controller for Windows and... Unified Virtual HID.
Some games think that this is your primary controller and changing the default controller won't fix anything.
Here's what you do:
  1. Go to Device Manager
  2. Expand "Human Interface Devices"
  3. Search for "HID-compliant game controller". You'll have 2 or more of these.
  4. Double click each of those devices and in the properties window check the "Location" variable.
  5. If there's "on USB Input Device" written in "Location" - this is your actual physical controller.
  6. If in one of these devices the Location is "on Unified Virtual HID", this is the virtual device.
  7. Now when you know which HID-compliant game controller is on Virtual Unified HID - disable this particular one.
  8. Close the Device Manager and check joy.cpl again. There should be only your xbox360 controller now.
  9. Play games.
  10. Profit!

This did the thing for me.

In Windows 8, there is a section in control panel called "devices and printers". Right click your controller and select "game controller settings". Click "properties" then select the "settings" tab. Hit "Restore to Default" and then try it again without anyextra programs running that redefine keys.

I'm using a Madcatz X360 pad without any problems.
Thanks but it did nothing.

But I fixed it another way.

Uh thanks so much! This did the trick for several games of mine. I already thought it might be a Win 8 problem.
