...does Windows allow direct access to this, or does it attempt to block direct modification of the compatibility reg path?  MS might block it to try to deter people from relying on legacy settings instead of updating their programs to use user profile specific (instead of machine-wide) reg paths.

It worked on my machine for quite a long time with both Windows 7 and Windows 10 but now it suddenly stopped. The problem isn't that reading the compatibility path fails but that reading the "old" path fails.

Ok, wxLauncher SERIOUSLY needs a way to distinguish between game controllers in Windows. Doesn't matter if it's a Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Pro or a Madcatz Xbox 360 controller, all it says is Microsoft PC-joystick driver. ARGH! I should not have to switch out game controllers completely to avoid hassle with figuring out which one is the stick and which the gamepad.

:nervous: Well, that problem has already been "fixed" for antipodes/SDL2 builds but the old builds require using the old API which is currently broken. Antipodes should be merged soonTM so then that issue will be fixed for most users...

 
Re: RELEASE: wxLauncher 0.10.1 beta [Updated 2015/09/26]
Well that's good. I mean, I knew which one it had to be because of the order they had been plugged in, but if I leave them plugged in and I reboot, who knows which will initialize first? I look forward to the upcoming code merge and fixed behavior.

In my experience the order stays the same even after a reboot but that may have changed in newer Windows versions.

Which is the better one to use:

.10.1 in this thread

or

0.11.0 in http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=89162.0

If you are using 3.7.4 final then 0.10.1 is sufficient. If you want to use a recent nightly then you should use 0.11.

Oops, then.

When I saw the newer number I installed 0.11  (and I'm using 3.7.4 final).

However, I haven't run into any problems yet.  Should I delete 0.11 and switch back to 0.10.1?

No, keep the newer version.
What I meant was that if you have 0.10.1 installed and if you are only using 3.7.4 then you don't need to change that. However, due to changes in how FSO interacts with the launcher the recent nightlies require 0.11 in order to work correctly.

I've been keeping up with updates to both FSO and the launcher, and I've noticed a few updates to the launcher today that seem somewhat significant.  May I suggest that a new build might be in order?

So this has started happening whenever I try to launch FSO via WXLauncher, and I can't figure out why.

Please try it with the debug build posted in the OP and paste bin the log as described in the OP under troubleshooting.

I don't see a failure in that log.  Did the assertion box come up on this run?

I have also tried disabling Aviria Active protection, which I had assumed to be the cause.

!!! It works. Do you need anything from me to figure out why?
