Hello, I have a strange problem. Whatever key or key combination that I try to use for "change battery", I can never change a battery, even though I have plenty on me, in the uniform, the vest and the backpack... Same problem with the default keys... Any idea to solve this? Thanks

Hello, I just discovered your update with the new version of the test utility. here are the ouputs I am getting : Original test utility Updated test utility : http://i.imgur.com/6StTnII.jpg As I was saying, lauching the original test utility before I launched ARMA3 reduced my controllers vanishing from arma3 occurences by 95% I will try the same protocol with the updated utility and I will reports the results here. In the mean time here is my reflexion, coming from someone who is not at all a coder and don't understand much about OSes, DX, and memory allocation : could it be possible that your test utility once launched is "filling up" the location of the faulty memory allocation in DX, preventing the controller to use it and therefore preventing the problem from happening at all? Hence, your test could be a workaround? Regards and thanks. Ninja

Well, well, well, it seems you have some voodoo power then... I have a hall sensor moded TM cougar + simped and I was affected by the bug 95% of the time trying to play ARMA 3 Yesterday I used your test executable thinking it was a fix... the executable report the cougar both time so I should not be affected by the bug if I understand correctly. And I managed to play about 4 hours over 2 or 3 sessions with a reboot in the middle and my Cougar did not disappear once. (I launched your executable everytime before launching ARMA3) I hope this will continue to work like that even if it is not supposed to... :) Thank you :)

Darkwanderer, I am confused. This executable that you linked, is it a fix or just a test of the system? Regards.

Hello, I have the same issue. Thrustmaster hotas cougar is disappearing from the ARMA 3 controller list. Most of the time it is during MP games but it can happen during SP game. I strongly believe that the issue is coming from ARMA3 because when it happen if I ALT TAB back to desktop and look at the Hotas control panel and the joystick realtime analyser the joystick imputs are still perfectly registered there. As far as windows is concerned the cougar is still working normally and its inputs are detected, only ARMA3 doesn't see the cougar anymore... Arma 3 needs to be restarted in order to see the cougar again. I would love to get a solution for this as flying represent at least 30% of my current time in the game (over 1400 hours so far) Regards.
