Game controller order set by Windows affects vJoy device recognition #395

Open ramla opened 2 years ago

ramla commented 2 years ago

My profile loads incorrectly after the order of game controllers change for whatever reason Windows does it. The mappings for vJoy 1 loaded into vJoy 2. I would not have thunk device order would matter in Joystic Gremlin since the profile file saves the devices (vJoy as well) by GUID and while Joystick Gremlin still requires vJoy devices to differ by button counts. I could not get the profile working by reordering the profile file and a rewrite was no go as it is a big one. The same profile worked again when I managed to change back the device order.

If this reordering affects the internal IDs vJoy uses to identify its devices there is nothing that can be done about this. Gremlin does not use or care about windows assigned device IDs or GUIDs for vJoy devices, as these have their own internal numbering which is used.

ramla commented 2 years ago

I see, this indeed seems to be the case. I think what can be learned here is from the fact that the mappings for the 66-button vjoy loaded happily without warning into a vjoy device that did not have the exact same axis-button-pov config. This might or might not have happened if the correct device was not already in use for the input.
