Title: DON'T move controls so rapidly
Post by: TARGUT on September 26, 2007, 10:45:33 PM

This error has made game unplayable. I have bought not 1 but 2 new J.S.s I know this is a patch related problem as I have played for 5yrs + with out ever seeing this error. For an experiment I logged in and went to bed and got booted from tower with this error. PLEASE FIX this!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the stick calibrated?  Have you installed everything necessary for it?  Have you tried unplugging it and logging on?

Stupid questions probably, but it never hurts to ask.

Yes I have tried all of that, I am running Windows Vista which I suspect to be the problem. Thanks for the reply tho.

Looks like it's not the game, but your stick, machine or Vista.

I have never had this problem (except when I was moving the controls too rapidly).

What do the numbers look like in the map controllers setup screen?  Are they fluctuating a bunch?  If so, I have heard (and now use) a powered usb hub.  My fluctuation went to nil when I added that device.

I moved this to tech support forum as this is not a game bug.  It is localized to your computer.

Rename the 'settings' folder of the game to and see what happens.  I have also witnessed erratic input on my Vista box from time to time.  It even happens at the Windows desktop.  No rhyme or reason for it.  I just reboot and it clears up.

When it happens I usually have to re-calibrate the stick after I can get it back under control.  In some ways Vista reminds me a lot of Windows 3.1 in how erratic it is.

I would ordinarily agree, but I did use this same PC for a couple months, and it wasn't until the patch before last that I started getting the "controls" error. Since that patch I get the error everytime I play. I had hoped  the last patch would correct it, but it didn't.
I have been getting lock-ups and what looks like memory leaks eversince I upgraded the PC tho.
Anyway that was the reason I put it under the "Bugs" thread, I wanted to see if anybody else was seeing a similar problem.
Thanks for the FeedBack
