Description

Hi Squad,
I'm unable to configure axis settings for my joystick. I use Logitech Force 3D Pro.
My OS is Windows 8.1 x64, I'm using Steam version of the game, so it is the latest game build up-to-date.
I believe the drivers for the joystick are the latest ones since this is pretty 'old' joystick model and the device works fine in any other game.

Branch: master

Steps to reproduce:
1) Launched the game from Steam
2) Went into the Settings and to the Input tab
3) In the Axis bindings area clicked the None button under the Pitch axis: Primary:
4) The popup window was shown where you need to press a button or move the stick while the game is listening for your input
5) Moved the joystick. In the popup window I saw it writing: Joystick 0 Axis 1
6) Clicked the Save button in the popup to confirm new setting. But nothing happened, the popup was still open.
7) Clicked the Cancel button and the popup was closed. But the button under Pitch axis: Primary: was still displaying 'None'
8) Clicked this 'None' button again. No popup was opened this time, but the whole Input settings tab became inactive, all controls became grayed-out and unclickable.
9) Clicked the General tab and there clicked the Accept button

After that I launched the game one more time and now every time I go to Input settings I can see the 'None' button under the Pitch axis: Primary: but clicking that button will never open a popup window again.
Clicking this 'None' button just makes the whole Input tab disabled. I can exit settings to the main menu and open settings again and Input tab will become enabled again. But after clicking the 'None' button it again becomes disabled. I've captured this sequence on video: https://youtu.be/Ce4ohMK_dU8

I'm attaching the KSP.log file where you can clearly see the KeyNotFoundException every time the device is enumerated.
Also you'll find my DxDiag.txt file (it contains some text in Russian though) and settings.txt.
Not sure if this is important: I'm using MechJeb version 2.5 (just downloaded the latest one) and that's the only add-on I have.

History

#1 Updated by User_337 almost 9 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Confirmed
  • % Done changed from 0 to 10

I am also having this same issue. A few differences though:

1. I am using windows 7 professional 64bit
2. My joystick is a Saitek cyborg EVO force

Other than those two differences, the nature and circumstances of the bug are the same.

Secondary to this, the game is unable to register the rudder and throttle axis of my joystick.
However, this has been an issue since version 0.25 and may or may not be a symptom associated with this current bug.

#2 Updated by Illusion almost 9 years ago

I have been having identical symptoms since 1.0 with multiple joystick. I am on a Mac with the Steam version as well.

Currently on 1.04 and problem persists.

#3 Updated by vvtz almost 9 years ago

I've checked the issue yesterday after my game has been updated to 1.0.4 and now I can say that the problem is gone. So I've configured all joystick axes and buttons successfully and been able to play the game with joystick support. So for me the issue has been resolved by the update.

We are aware of the unique way Unity3D engine handles joystick axes, and this has presented a few challenges to all developers it seems.

Thanks for reporting back with your success. I'll nark this issue as resolved, but please report again if it resurfaces?

#5 Updated by Illusion almost 9 years ago

As the identical issue still exists for me on 1.0.4 on my Mac Steam version, would this be considered a new or different bug?

I've reopened this issue as it seems too many others are suffering from odd effects on controllers.

Forum thread for reference - KSP won't accept Joystick axes

We need to determine if this is a driver suite, locale, particular hardware combinations or something else.

For the record, I have a number of controllers - sticks, wheels, and a custom build - and all of them can be mapped correctly on a Win7 EN_UK system.

We do know of the following issues:

  • Removal of a controller between game sessions can lead to problems. (includes sleeping wireless controllers)
  • Removing a device while KSP is running. (includes wireless controllers going to sleep)
  • Changing USB ports between game sessions can lead to problems.
  • Hot plugging after starting KSP can lead to a failure to detect controllers. (including first and second points)
  • System locale (language settings) can sometimes cause settings.cfg corruption on non English systems.

Please take measures that you are not falling foul of any of these issues before reporting.

Closing this report out for now. If you find it is still occuring in the latest version of KSP please open a new report (and this one can be linked to it.) For best results, the wiki contains really useful info for when creating a report http://bugs.kerbalspaceprogram.com/projects/ksp/wiki.
