Player does not start to move diagonally with Gamepad Joystick.

My Movements are working just fine with the Keyboard or Gamepad ARROWS, zero issues. But there is an issue with the Gamepad Joystick. Player does not start moving at all if I put Joystick right in between X and Z axis (diagonally).But Player will move if I put Joystick forward/backward or left/right. So if I want to start moving diagonally from idle with Joystick I can’t…

 private void Awake() // fields
        {
         
            RB_PlayerParent = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
            TR_PlayerParent = this.transform;
            GO_MainCamera = GameObject.Find("MainCamera");
            TR_MainCamera = GO_MainCamera.transform;
        }


void _InputControls() //Called in Update() 
        {
            _Zaxis_Input = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
            _Xaxis_Input = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
            _MovementDirection = new Vector3(_Xaxis_Input, 0, _Zaxis_Input);
        }

void _MovePosition() //called in FixedUpdate() 
        { 
            // Without this If statement the player will turn and move to camera angle automatically
            if (_MovementDirection.magnitude == 0) return;

            //Rotation 
            float _playerAngle = Mathf.Atan2(_Xaxis_Input, _Zaxis_Input) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + TR_MainCamera.eulerAngles.y;
            float _smoothAngle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, _playerAngle, ref _CurrentVelocity, _RotationSpeed);
            RB_PlayerParent.MoveRotation(Quaternion.Euler(0f, _smoothAngle, 0f));

            //Actual Movement
            Vector3 _cameraToMovement = Quaternion.Euler(0f, TR_MainCamera.eulerAngles.y, 0f) * _MovementDirection;
            RB_PlayerParent.AddForce(_cameraToMovement * _PlayerSpeed * Time.deltaTime, ForceMode.VelocityChange);

        }

So just to make sure I understand you correctly using the keyboard you cannot move diagonally?

This doesn’t look like the full code and I’m not finding where the player is actually moved by MovementDirection
