Controller Refresh Button
« on: September 03, 2008, 03:38:50 PM »
So, how many of you with laptops (or not) have gone into Aces High to realize that your joystick wasn't hooked up?  So then you realize just plugging it in isn't going to cut it, so you have to exit all the way out of the game, then back in again, pre-load your textures... blah blah blah.

Moral of the story, I want a controller refresh button in the map controllers menu! :pray

This way, you can plug it in mid-game, windows would recognize it, then you press refresh for the game to go and check for it again! :aok

I wasn't sure if you meant "IN" as in, in before the lock...  or like "IN" because you liked the idea...

I did do a search, didn't find anything about refreshing controllers, is there another thread already?

I'd be surprised if that would be possible without a ton of work (if it's even possible at all) because of the fact that DirectX is involved.

I haven't heard this request before. If this is at all possible, I would enjoy it.

I am quite surprised, though that HTC hasn't added this feature in the past. That leads me to believe they left it out for a reason.

IN

Why would you post "In" in a thread that has no chance of being locked by the moderators or even violating any of the forum rules? 

As for the OP's original wish, I think it's a good idea.

I think the first question here is.........  Care about what?  And that reply doesn't really cover the original question..... Why would you say IN ?
