Solution for Windows reassigning controllers order

[jokerBR]

Hi guys, yesterday I crossed with this little gem and decided to create a topic to help others like me, that struggled for so many time due to Windows reassigning controllers/joysticks IDs at every reboot, rendering the game's configuration useless. No more that awful USB disconnect/reconnect dance! ?

 

https://github.com/b...dall/devreorder (instructions on how to use inside the readme).

 

I changed the dinput8.dlls to make the "system wide" solution, and it worked perfectly - if you use trackIR, there's a trick though: copy the original dinput8.dll from syswow64 to the same folder where trackIR is installed. If you don't do this, trackIR will cease to work.

 

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Maybe this one is less complex to work with, but it might not be able to lock ID numbers .. i did not try it yet:  USB device tree viewer J.

It is useful to reset the USB ports when you want to start fresh (i.e., force the OS to forget the previous devices that the ports have seen).

Make a copy of this folder after any update to your key mappings and save it in a safe place - outside of your IL-2 folder
