matt-- Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 Well, this looks wierd. I run windows xp. So I'm playing normally one day, and BAM! I drop out to the desktop. I go back into to XWA and it tells me that I don't have a joystick connected. I reinstalled XWA. Same problem. I uninstalled XWA again, deleted the directory, left no trace(save my pilot) on the hard drive. Reinstalled. Still the joystick error! I tried a different joystick. Same error message. Windows detects it fine. It works in Podracer. What the hell?
rjmehra Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 I know i cant help, but the same thing happened. All i can say is, don't do anything silly in desperation, i upgraded drivers for EVERYTHING which ended in diasaster. Also the update wont work with XP.
DD3Kv2 Posted August 21, 2002 Posted August 21, 2002 when the game is loaded it will ask u for a joystick. Never put the one your using on XP. Do this... for example I have a Gravis Blackhawk joystick. It has 4 buttons on it. So you put the joystick down as a 4 button joystick with throttle. Now it will work. Just do it that way and Xp will recognize it. ---ah crap his post was like earlier this year.. oh well this will stay there for reference.
