darrentoogood991 Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 I have a really annoying issue. Every now and then my Joystick and Throttle stop responding. I have a CH Combatstick and CH Throttle. If i then click anywhere with the mouse they then both respond as normal. I have checked power management settings etc. I also run P3d with no issues whatsoever. It only happens in DCS
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 22, 2016 ED Team Posted September 22, 2016 Hi Is DCS losing focus? How many screens do you run and how many do you use for DCS? Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

darrentoogood991 Posted September 22, 2016 Author Posted September 22, 2016 Ah BigNewy you might be hitting the nail on the head. In P3d i use 3 monitors and in DCS i only use 1 but the other two are still active. I was thinking this may be the issue. Even though DCS is set for 1 monitor do i need to de-activate the other 2 from within Windows Monitor Properties or is there another way to maintain focus?
darrentoogood991 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Posted September 24, 2016 I disconnected the other 2 displays and still had the same problem. One thing i noticed the keyboard also stopped working. Click the mouse and everything back as normal. I tried the alt enter to put DCS in full screen and it did not freeze. Ill do some more testing.
darrentoogood991 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Posted September 25, 2016 Nope even with forcing full screen it still loses focus. Another strange thing is it appears to do it when im preparing to land. Its done this in both the release version and beta with different modules. I use Trackir and this stays active. Just the k/bd and joystick and throttle that stop responding. Mouse is fully functional.
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 25, 2016 ED Team Posted September 25, 2016 Please attach your whole logs folder zipped after you experience it, we may see some clues. My guess is you have a device losing connection, and it will reset the connected devices in DCS A guide is in my signature Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

darrentoogood991 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Posted September 25, 2016 Thanks, Will do next time it happens
effte Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 I have this as well, as of a week or two ago. In my case it is most definitely when DCS loses focus. Over to my second monitor to flip up the next approach chart and the controls freeze. Clicking in DCS to bring focus back gets them working again. With charts, Teamspeak etc it is essentially a showstopper. No issues in other programs, e g FSX or P3D.

effte Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Still haven't found any way around this. It may be of interest that the TIR is still working when it happens. ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
AtaliaA1 Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Wasn't this related to a Motherboard update not to long ago. For the life of me I can't recall the specifics of this issue but I do remember something similar to this a few months ago. Anyone else recall this? This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

effte Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 FWIW, the solution seemed to be to stop using DCS for most of a year and then return with v2.5... (Read: The issue I was seeing on my end, whatever it was, has apparently been resolved somewhere between then and now.) ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
