I have a Logitech F310.
I've noticed that with the DSUCP v2.5 installed the y-axis is always inverted, even if I change the game controller options in the menu. :hilfe:
Do you have any advice on how could I fix it?
Thanks a lot.

I don't know why it's inverted, The installer doesn't do anything that interferes with the the Y-axis

The only thing I can think of is the DDraw.cfg file, if you already have this installed the installer will back it up and replace it with a new version.

If you look with in the DDraw.cfg file down the list you will see

Code: Select all

; JoystickEmul = -1 (default, auto-detect) or 1 (force on), 0 (force off) or 2 (force XInput)
; EXPERIMENTAL - behaviour is far from optimal.
; Emulates a joystick using keyboard and mouse.
; For auto-detect only enabled if no joystick is detected.
; It is not possible to use a joystick that is plugged in after start.
; Force off to get back the dialog boxes asking you to plug in the joystick.
; Force XInput to use a special XInput mode that is adjusted to what worked
; best for my experiments with a Steam controller, so it might not be useful
; for anyone else.
JoystickEmul = -1
At the moment it's set to -1 which is default auto detect
Try setting it to 0 to force it off
It that doesn't work try 1 or 2

it might resolve your problem or not ????

Now I've tried with a Nacon gamepad and it's all ok.

Published a new ddraw.dll release that adds an option to invert the Y axis: https://github.com/rdoeffinger/xwa_ddraw_d3d11/releases
Not properly tested, but as this was already the second report of issues around this...
