HOTAS causing problems with Mouse Input

I have had my HOTAS (Saitek x52 Pro) plugged into my PC since launch of SWBF2, but just now after the most recent patch it is causing a problem. 

As long as the HOTAS is plugged in, the in-game Mouse Input continually goes Up and to the Left, causing my Soldiers to always look straight up and start spinning.  If I unplug the HOTAS it immediately stops the issue.  The HOTAS drivers show it is properly calibrated and centered.  Moving the HOTAS around while plugged in does not effect the issue at all.

How can I tell SWBF2 to ignore the HOTAS input??

  • That's an interesting problem. It seems that after the update, the game is responding to Joystick inputs.

    Maybe it's possible to use a HOTAS in the game. I'll test this evening, if i can program my X52 Pro.

    Hello,

    I have an issue with my HOTAS too (Saitek X55).

    Since the last patch, i can't use my mouse anymore. The cursor is stuck on the middle of the screen.


    The only way to fix this, without unplugging the HOTAS (i don't want to risk losing my HOTAS configuration in Falcon BMS and IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad), is to plug an xbox 360 controller in.

    They need to fix this. 

  • Tried to test my HOTAS, the game has become so unstable after the latest patch, i even couldn't test it with my keyboard and mouse.. I'll stop playing till they fix this.

    It's a shame...

  • Hey, Djaal

    I'm having the same issue with my HOTAS. I totally agree they need to fix this, but I also wanted to thank you for posting your work-around. Plugging in my controller at least lets me play without having to disable my HOTAS; I don't understand *why* but it works.

    I hope they get this sorted soon, but I appreciate having a temp work-around for it.

    Cheers!

  • This is still an issue in early 2021. ☹️ You think they'd've patched this by now.

    Connecting a wireless Xbox Series X controller didn't seem to resolve the issue either FWIW.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.
