Thrustmaster Warthog not recognized again !

[jollyjack]

Was preparing for Tobruk by checking CLoD:

 

Warthog set Works fine in IL2, but all of a sudden in CLoD the 2 units are not even recognized (when moving axes in the Options menu, same with buttons) ... 

BTW the Thrustmaster Control panel show all hardware functions work OK.

 

I checked all power management to be off in HUD and USB hub preference options.

 

Reimported an old save of conf.ini and confUser.ini in to C .../Documents etc.

Also in the Steamapps common folder. NADA.

 

(PS i posted this problem else where too ..)

I hate Steam too... I call it the January 2011 curse... imagine my disappointment in January 2011, when Ubisoft announced that this s**t is a requirement for the running of the game...

Not sure it's a specifically Steam issue, though, otherwise everybody would report it. 

 

Didn't even know such an inout option exists in Steam, just checked on my PC and it's on "use default settings". Warthog HOTAS here as well, and it works today as it's always been. Note: I'm on Win 10 and I'm not using t.a.r.g.e.t software.

In Cliffs game properties "use default settings" that's my settings too ...

BTW i cannot import my previous confUser.ini; the axis settings are lost.(I also don't use TARGET).

I can setup my axis controller OK, but i am really fed up that you have to do it AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and  ...

not funny ....

You can fix this (it happens when windows changes the GUI for the device)

(its just a case of updating the new device ID's in the ConfUser.ini)

I personally use  virtual joystick devices which never change in windows to avoid this problem with my devices. Joystick gremlin  in my case because it's a non proprietary, community made program which works great with any windows device. Virtual devices are also far more powerful , with things like macros, custom curves, , dif profiles, or just a simple remapping buttons and axis for ppl that like it simple. It also allows you to combine devices or make multiple devices in windows

After about 2 years giving up on Cliffs/Tobruk due controller issues mainly i decided to give 5.037 a shot.

 

Alas the F***NG Steam interface has completely changed and my settings were gone again

Reimporting an old confUser.ini does not bring anything back from my old setup.

 

So i got into setting my systemit up for Keyboard, a Warthog set and Saitek rudder pedals (latter works).

 

Now generally a controller, or button, or a keyboard key is SOMETIMES seen, more often not, and yes power management is off for all USB hubs.

So programming options/controls new leaves me with partly working controllers.

 

Both DCS and IL2 work fine BTW.  What's up with this otherwise nice game; it's useless to me again .... sorry.

 

I really would like to see a steamless version, IMO steam sucks as always.
