Does not work in games with easy anticheat #46

nuclearsn4ke commented 3 weeks ago

Hey there!

As subject states, I cannot use this soft (great soft btw, shooting with feedback in Borderlands 2 with Flydigi Vader 3 Pro is amazing!) while playing games with anticheat (e.g.: Ghost Recon Wildlands, Forza Horizon 4, The First Descendant and etc). Is there any workaround to make x1nput work with this kind of games?

I feel like I forgot to be specific about how can't I use this soft in these games. X1nput simply does not find them in processes. However, Forza Horizon 4 is found in processes but crashes to desktop immediately after injection.

Hi, I very much do not suggest using X1nput with games with anticheat. The method it uses to work is detected by most, and might get you banned. Even the older version that didn't use injection still used hooking which is also detected.

Forza Horizon 4 has also been reported as crashing in the past, but I couldn't quite figure out why, it seems Microsoft has some anti-tamper protection for it. The Microsoft Store version supports Impulse Triggers out of the box though, and so should Forza Horizon 5

To be fair, I did put the warning about anti-cheat very far down the readme, I definitely should've put it at the top
