Title: Joystick doesn't work ingame.
Post by: dgiglio on July 11, 2017, 08:55:49 am

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue with my joystick, a Saiteck Cyborg Evo.
wxlauncher correctly detects both my joysticks (Saitek and Logitech G13), Saiteck is the main one both on wxLauncher and on Win10, but when I run the game it simply doesn't work.

Any clue?
Thanks in advance.

Line 253:  Using 'Logitech G13 Joystick' as the primary joystick

I'm guessing this is why your Saitek joystick doesn't work in-game. It's either not set in wxlauncher or wxlauncher is doing something weird. Try launching the game with both the Saitek set and the G13 set as your control device and see if either of them ever gets properly detected.

I've never said that the G13 joystick is set as primary one, on the countrary, it's the opposite.
By the way, I've unplugged the G13 from PC, wxLauncher keeps detecting it. And the Saitek keeps not working in game.

You didn't, your debug log did, at line 253.

Ok. Is there any way I can force wxLauncher to set the joystick I want? It falls back on G13 also when it's unplugged.

You might try setting the joystick you want as the preferred device under the Advanced Settings in the Windows Game Controller panel.  Instructions here:

Code: [Select]

FreeSpace 2 Open version: 3.8.0.RC1
First, update to 3.8.0 RC3 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=93709.0). Next, update your wxLauncher to 0.12 RC2 (https://github.com/scp-fs2open/wxLauncher/releases/tag/0.12.0-rc.2). Then it should work properly.
