"foxWSFix breaks the game" #6

Closed Keith94 closed 3 years ago

A word of warning, while this article recommends foxWSFix, the latest version of it on the latest Steam version on Windows 10, it will stop most inputs from working when a game starts and cause a crash to desktop after a few seconds.

I didn't experience this but thought I'd post it here.

Thanks for the report - I suspect this is related to https://github.com/alexstrout/foxWSFix-UT2k4/issues/4 and affects more people than I first thought.

It's possible the Steam version does things differently than retail / GOG (which this was originally developed / updated on, respectively), but it's likely something weird with the GUI override that I missed in testing.

Not sure if exactly the same issue, but I was having problems with my Steam version, and this fixed everything for me:

Basically the setting "InputClass=Class'foxWSFix.foxPlayerInput'" NEED to appear TWO times in USER.INI The first goes under the already suggested section "[Engine.PlayerController]" The second goes under the "[UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer]" section

I couldn't quite replicate the crash, but I could replicate the loss of control if both UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer and XGame.xPlayer didn't have an InputClass line set. Note that the hierarchy in-game is PlayerController -> UnrealPlayer -> xPlayer, so whatever's set latest will take precedence. In the main menu, only PlayerController is used.

The latest v2.1.1 release should hopefully alleviate this issue - at the very least, it will log some useful information on-screen / to the console if something's not quite set up right. If it's a missing InputClass line, it will attempt to automatically remedy it. I've also updated the install instructions in the readme to reflect the above.

Please let me know / feel free to re-open if anyone still runs into issues with this. Thanks!
