Saitek X52 in CloD. Not recognised?

[Elem]

So I have just installed the Collectors Edition of CloD that I've had from day 1 of it's release but then I very quickly deleted it as it was so horrid. It is now reinstalled on my new PC and updated to BLITZ. The problem now is I have no joystick control at all. My keyboard is recognised but not my Saitek X52 Pro. Is this common or any ideas why gratefully received.

My controls did not work at first, but was able to remap axes. Weird thing was, however, that when I tried to remap, an axis was almost immediately automatically chosen for me by the game. So I had to be really fast, before an axis was chosen automatically. Got them all mapped, though.

If you have many controllers plugged the BLIZ joystcik detection may lost some.

 

Instead detect joystick/throttle/pedal as 

Joystick0

Joystick1

Joystick2...

 

In BLITZ joystick/throttle... is detected by their real name - to try minimize Windows 10 issue. Example:

 

Cyborg_Graphite-7BD6F401

VKBsim_Tiny_BOX_-91C0D62D

 

With many controllers plugged the long name of some may have not time to write in ConfUser.ini during the first game loading.

 

Try this:

 

Unplug the X-52, start the Game, when game start loading, plug X-52, may force their detection.

 

Verify too if in STEAM interface all options for CONTROLLER is un-ticked.

 

 

Weird thing was, however, that when I tried to remap, an axis was almost immediately automatically chosen for me by the game.

 

This is caused be a fault (spikes) potentiometer in one of your controllers, when you open the box for assign a axis, this controller send a spurious signal that is detect before the axis you intend to use.  Try calibrate your controllers before make assignments, preferable with manufacturer calibration tool.

You are not the only one Elem. Had same problem in CloD and never got it fixed no matter what I tried. Hoped it would be solved with the BLITZ version, but apparently not :-(

Odd.  I just installed the game and my X52 worked immediately without me doing anything extra.

Me as well. Standard X52 and pedals. Installed and working with no issues

Thanks for answers so far. Sokol, tried your suggestions and no joy (stick!) although I could not find the CONTROLLER options in the STEAM interface? I see though that there is an option to "import" commands. Is anyone able to send me theirs and I can try to see if that works.

I received this ini file, and it did not help me. Maybe you have better luck with it?!

X52.zip

This attached .INI has joystick in old format:

 

Joystick+AXE_Z=-1throttle

 

This don't work in BLITZ.

[6./ZG26_Loke]

Eh, when you say "This don't work in BLITZ". Do you mean the entire ini file or just the "Joystick+AXE_Z=-1throttle"?

[BM357_TinMan]

I have x52pro and am running windows 7 64

 

Maybe it has something to do with windows 8+

 

What os are you running?

Are you using the latest Logitech drivers?

I mean that joystick ID is "Joystick" instead the now needed "Joystick name+code", this is valid for axis and buttons.

Win 10 and not had any issues with it. I'm trying to install the latest drivers but I'm getting the message "The requested operation requires elevation"....What the hells that? Also, what do I do with the ini. file?

You add the lines from the X52 file into the confUser.ini file in the root of CloD. Remember to make a backup of the original ini.
