Stranger's Wrath & 360 Pads - PLEASE READ

[v00d00man]

guys. cant you just recognise gamepads by VID & PID instead of "name" which could be different from os to os or from driver to driver??

[Paul_cz]

I wonder if we can ever expect a patch that will fix this for good?
I provided the requested info on previous page..

2 more months, the game still does not work correctly with wireless x360pad without tweaking.

Awesome support. You guys should look at Hydrophobia devs how it's done.

For me the my 360 controller shows are "Controller (Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows)" and in device manager it shows as "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows". It use to work properly and then after the update the mapping is all slightly off and when I did set the controls correctly they reverted after I quit and restarted the game.

mine says afterglow... a la afterglow 360 controller lol

I just reinstalled Strangers Wrath...I am having controller troubles. I have a Xbox360 wired controller and the Launcher sees it as that: Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows). I have configed the controller for sensitivity...but my character spins and looks up and down without touching the controller...When I do start to move it is all over the place. I have tried all the ideas in this thread with no luck. The game use to work fine for me. I have reinstalled the xbox drivers. I have Windows 7 32 bit pro. i7 core 4 gigs ram...GTX 465 vid. card Any more help would be great. Thank you

To identify which Pad is hooked up we use the Windows name for the device.

Why are you identifying device capabilities by the products name string in the first place

the xinput documentation has a foolproof method for detecting xinput and enumerating the device correctly in the SDK documentation.

#include <wbemidl.h>
#include <oleauto.h>
#include <wmsstd.h>

// "IG_" (ex. "VID_045E&PID_028E&IG_00").  If it does, then it's an XInput device
// Unfortunately this information can not be found by just using DirectInput

I'm having the very same problem, I thought I was the only one! On top of the spinning camera issue, when Stranger is in 1st-person mode, he is constantly punching even though none of the buttons are being pressed! Has anyone come up with a fix for this?!

thanks

Ok, after posting this I went into the control panel and reset the 360 pads's settings. When I restarted the game, everything cleared up!
