HeadHunter52 Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Installed a Samsung 850 PRO today. Looking on the forum, I saw several posts stating that a copy from the original drive location to the new location would be fine, alone with adjusting the Updater pointer. So I copied the whole DCS directory over to the new drive. 29GB. DCS starts, but my G-13 game pad, while listed in options, won't respond to input or Axis commands. Joystick is fine. When I go full screen, my Logitech joystick goes dead. Works fine windowed. Mouse won't input. ESC won't respond either.... have to Ctrl Alt Del to get out. All was well on the original installation. Any ideas? I'm thinking I should just reinstall the thing and activate everything.

HeadHunter52 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 Well, restarting the PC twice, and loading DCS 3 times seemed to have an effect. Controls are working now. Game doesn't appear to load any faster. Starting it from within the bin directory on the SSD. I noticed a lot of registry entries. Think they are affecting things? I hear my HHD slamming away.

HiJack Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 Clean install of Operating System on the SSD is preferable but can be a bit of work to rebuild everything. I think you may have some problems with DCS registration also when cloning.
huzar Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 The easiest option is to use samsung cloning software and clone your HDD to SSD. Leave windows, DCS and other programs on SSD and keep all other files on HDD. I have used cloned SSD for few months without any problems, no issues with DCS registration either.
NeilWillis Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 I can confirm that huzar. I used the same system, and it's worked flawlessly ever since. Best advice for someone having controller issues is to simply re-name the whole saved games folder, and DCS World will simply re-initialize the who lot. Then if that proves to be a fix, then simply copy back everything in the saved games folder except the inputs folder branch.
