Saitek X52 joystick workaround
The X52 saitek joystick don't work out of the box with the game because there is some problem with wine and the game's DirectInput system (Bug 43741).
The workaround is to :
- create an empty text file named "deviceinputold.txt" with you preferred text editor
- put it in in the main game folder (where the "EvochronLegacy.exe" file is):
