Evochron Mercenary cant see/find my joystick

Post by Danspy501st »

I have a problem with the game. That is that the game cant see any of my joysticks, but my computer itself can. When I going in the options to set up my joystick it saying that there isnt no device putted in my computer.

I had tried to take the joystick out and put it in again, with no resualts, also had I tried to use the profile editor to see if that helped, but it didnt.

I using the Madcatz Cybrog Flight Stick FLY V5 (And V1) and using Windows 7

I really hope someone can help me to find out what there is wrong

Did you try the left and right arrow buttons at the top of the configure controls menus? That will toggle between the various device ID's your system may be using and your joystick should return signals on one of those ID's. Once you find the ID, map the axis and button controls as desired.

Make sure your joystick is plugged in prior to launching the game.

As Marvin said . . . and not just plugged in before you launch into SP or MP from the menu screen, but before you actually load the game :)

Numerous times have I found myself drifting in space stickless and feeling like an idiot seconds after saying hello to people saying bye again :P
