Gamepads no longer usable

    Title says it all. Since the last patch, the keybinding menu/game completely screws up the sticks/controller-axes for all my gamepads and joysticks (everything is inverted, even when you -geniously- try to counter-invert the bindings to fix this issue), plus gamepad/joystick-buttons are no longer recognised by the game at all.

    And yes, ALL controller-buttons/axes are functional in the Windows controller-settings-tab and work in other games.

    Add:
    Checking the "Invert" checkbox in the game-menu also doesnt help.

    X-post from "After Patch bugs" :
    I can no longer use a joystick with the game : most buttons / axis are not recognized, and roll is reversed. Only pitch works correctly (no throttle, etc..). Using Sidewinder FF2.

    Same story here.

    The controls I had set went haywire when attempting to fly and as a result I tried to remap them hoping to fix it this way, none of my X,Y or Z axis are detected same goes for joystick buttons.

    Logitech Extreme 3D Pro no axis and button are detected
    Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals Left and Right Toe axis are detected as gamepad controller.
    Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 no axis and button are detected

    Validated files,
    Deleted input files to reset controls completely,
    Disconnected all controllers and other input devices, leaving only keyboard mouse and 1 joystick at the time,
    All attempts have failed to remap and get working controls.

    Same here. Only this morning I spent about an hour mapping keys to a Logitech USB game pad, and since the update none of the buttons register, only the thumb sticks work.

    Checked in Windows and all buttons are working correctly but will not work in game, tried deleting and remapping but nothing works.

    my controler bindings are completely gone! the ones that are still there are either inverted or nonresponsive and i know my controller still works becuase i used it last night and checked it today. they need to fix this now. hell not even my mouse can make my character look anymore becuase its in a fixed vertical position.

    Yes im with you guys, analogue throttle now is unresponsive, no buttons are recognised and thats on top of the other problems we had. Its ridiculous that a PC game with a significant section on flying does not have proper joystick support!

    For maximum visibility ive made a reddit post on this issue too, lets hope we get some dev response soon.

    WTH i was gonna buy some stuff for my brand new valkrie but now since my joystick logitech 3d pro doesnt work i not buying nothing . What gives ,is it gonna work again or you guys not gonna let us fly with joysticks, and use this ******* mouse and keyboard . I hate flyin with mouse and keyboard its stupid. Man has been flying aircraft with joystick flight controls since the beginning of time. Why cant we in planetside 2 ?

    Just got payed today and was ready to throw some coin at it !!

    Yup, this will be a deal breaker for me unless it's fixed. RSI means I need to use something other than a mouse and keyboard.

    Same here:

    Logitech Extreme 3D Pro:

    Only the stick works, and its all backwards - even if you try to invert it in the controls intentionally.

    No buttons recognized or functional. Problem persists only when playing PS2.

    Cannot program keybinds in PS2. Must use Logitech's software; still not recognized in game.

    Logitech Dual Analog Gamepad:

    Does not function at all. Nothing responds.

    Problem only persists in PS2.

    I need both of these to function to do anything effectively outside of driving a tank, which is the only thing I use the keyboard to do. It may be possible to function as Infantry on a lesser level than normal, but I would choose not to. I use the gamepad for flying Gals and Libs (and would be Valkries) but cannot fly at all without it. I can, however, crash immediately upon takeoff.

    I need this fixed ASAP to enjoy this game. Subscriber since 2012 looking to cancel; this is a huge screw up. I dont throw around cancelling my subscription whenever I dont like something, but this all but breaks the game for me.
  13. Estrano

    I fight like a girl without my joystick. SOE HELP!
  14. Aussiejeff

    Ditto.

    Logitech Extreme 3D Pro JOYSTICK now recognised by latest patch as a gamepad + no ability now to re-configure key bindings for joystick = Now I cannot fly ANYTHING? WTF sort of patch is this? Where's the QA before patch release? I cant believe no-one in dev team didnt try using common 3D Pro joystick in testing? :mad:

    Please fix ASAP....

    This is realy bad Saitek cyborg V1 bindings are gone an it is not possible to make new this has broken tha game no playing till this is fixed
  16. G-wiz15

    yeah im using a Thrustmaster Wireless pro and i still didnt get anything
  17. Bordel2Merde

    One more, my Daulshock 3 doesn't work anymore. All bindings have gone, left joystick is reverted and all buttons are unbindable.

    So to me, the game is totally unplayable, as all my configs are based on it. I really hate using keyboard and there's no way I can play without my DS3...Hope it's fixed soon, I've gotten my SC back but I can't play.

    Same here. Game update on Friday is a fail
  19. cousinm

    My logitech rumblepad 2 not work at all, even on the direct an X input mode,
    Only the axe are reconized, i had to do a weird tricky setup to get foward an backward etc . . working good.
    But now all the movement, infentry, vehicul, plane can be controled with analog throttle in any direction.
    I succes to remap all the buttons on xpadder,But that not my favorite way...
    I already use xpadder to play planetside2, exemple for talk i have to hold the reload button for 0.75 sec. etc . . .

    Workaround; it works even with multiple controllers plugged in. Takes about 10 min to program one; though when I got into my Dual Analog controller for flight things got a little complicated with adjusting sensitivity and all - but Ill probably actually continue using it for flight even after Joystick support is fixed. Its a lot more adjustable than the software that comes with it.

    I used it all day, evening and night off and on; works perfectly.

    Actually, even better because now the hat buttons dont fire once and stop working. I was finally able to bind some functions like secondary fire modes and laser sight/darklight toggles off and on with it.

    Not sure why I didnt try it sooner; Ive had it lurking on a storage drive forever now. I guess I kind of assumed if Logitechs own software wouldnt do the trick, nothing would. (I was wrong)
