Get USB Joysticks Running With WC4 DVD Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

A lot of people have been getting back into the WC4 DVD since gulikoza developed a patch to get it to run smoothly without special Creative hardware. Although the game works great for most people, joystick problems are on the list of more common problems. Crius poster Vesper found a quick fix for some of those problems.

I ran into a problem getting my USB joystick to work (MS Force Feedback 2). I finally stumbled onto the solution and thought I should share it in case people didn't know about this:

1) Go to Control Panel / Game Controllers
2) Click "Advanced"
3) Set "Preferred Device" to your USB joystick. (This defaults to None).

That's it. After I did that, the joystick worked immediately in the game.. Woo!

Pretty simple solution for an annoying problem.
