I'm considering pre-ordering as I have for past Battlefield games but wanted to know more about any details regarding support for joysticks. I find flying with them is much better but support for them seems a bit spotty or non-existent in the past few releases.
Thank you for any information you can provide.
I just discovered Joytokey today, and gave it a whirl. I set everything accordingly (mouse movement = joystick movement) but it didn't seem to take effect. It also made all of my aircraft pull back aggressively until they crashed.
Any ideas by chance/
I still can not get the Extreme 3d joystick to map controls inside BF. i've tried using hidhide & i have xoutput setup as well..
reviewing my setup here..
i am using the origin beta client to launch the game.
if i use hidhide i allow Applications:
hidhide & xoutput & also BF2042.exe
-what does pre-selected application is not found at the registered location mean?
Devices -
Controller XBOX One for windows -unchecked
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro (HID) - checked
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro (HID) - checked
Logitech Extreme 3D Pro (HID) - checked
checked is Filter-out disconnected
checked Gaming devices only
checked Enable device hiding
What exactly did you do under XOutput? i assume this may be where mine is going sideways.. the mapping here is supposed to map controls in the game?
Using custom profiles i am still not able to change any controls within BF2042??
Maybe somebody has a screenshot of XOutput's config & what it should look like?
EDIT:
When i go to add a new gaming device in XOutput my Extreme 3D is not able to map axis and buttons into xoutput... almost like it does not see the joystick even though it's not hid by hidhide! this may be my issue....
so annoying!
This is a great post, but at the end of the day, we shouldn't have to do thus, the last 10 BF's and 11 expansions had joystick support. Now there turning the game in to foreskin or fortnight or what ever1
I totally agree i thought about using xoutput to emulate an xbox controller but that's a lot of work. I want to believe that Dice/EA will add proper support. I hope they are listening...
Guys this topic is about fixing the obvious problem. I really hope that it will not be needed, but for now it is. Complaining here have no point.
This fix is giving me back part of my comfort playing with the input device I use to...
Does the joystick now work after patch 3? If not, why not?
