spitfire1.2 Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Hello! I am facing the aforementioned problem and I would be glad if someone in this forum could help me. I own a Saitek cyborg evo force with force feedback. Every time a new flight is loaded the game crashes, but if I disable force feedback in the options menu, it works... So far I have tried downloading the most recent drivers for 64 bit windows and tried the "input.blacklist_ffb = false" fix, but it didn't fix the problem. The joystick's force feedback seems to work fine on IL-2: Cliffs of dover. I have attached a picture of the autoexec file and the the crash log. Thank you for you time. dcs.log-20201212-194821.zip
Flappie Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Hello. It seems other games are also affected. Your Windows 10 is quite old (April 2018). I would have advised updating Windows, but it seems the latest updates have worsened Force Feedback support for your joystick. Edited December 12, 2020 by Flappie ---
spitfire1.2 Posted December 12, 2020 Author Posted December 12, 2020 I am updating windows atm (it seems there was an issue with the windows updater as well ) I'll try again after the update
spitfire1.2 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Posted December 13, 2020 Just finished the update, now the game wont launch (steam edition). Yaaaaay.... Currently trying to valitate files via steam
Flappie Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 If you're still stuck, try unplugging the Cyborg EVO before lanching DCS. I've read FS2020 users had to do this to be able to play. If needed, you have 10 days to revert your last Windows update, by the way (Update and security > Recovery > Go back to the previous version of W10). ---
spitfire1.2 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Posted December 13, 2020 That seems to solve the issue, the game starts. But if I reconnected while in the menu, it crashes. I've attached the crash report. Although I don't think that someone will create a solution for a 15 year old joystick. dcs.log-20201213-164202.zip
Flappie Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 I've read someone was able to use his Cyborg EVO without using its driver. Can you try uninstalling the driver and see if your joystcik is recognized, and if DCS works with it? ---
spitfire1.2 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) I've tried it, but nothing. Looks like I've got to look for another stick. Thank you for help! Edited December 13, 2020 by spitfire1.2
Flappie Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 You're welcome. I still have hope for a new FFB stick... someday. ---
spitfire1.2 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Posted December 13, 2020 Well, the FFB pattern expired this year and the whole MFS hype might push manucturers to bring out something new. For now, every bing manufacturer seems to be stuck in 2010 for some reason...(I just saw that X-52 is still being produced...omg). Logitech's flagship used to be the GD940 and now we have the Extreme 3d pro.... I do hope for something similar to the Microsoft FFB comes along with a similar price (I used to cost around 60 euros).
Flappie Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 I used to have the great G940, and I've been following the Immersion patents story, yeah. In this period, all the lights are green: the expired patents, flight sims that had not been that popular for a very long time, lockdowns that have us playing even more... God, if we don't get a new affordable FFB device in 2021 or 2022, I think we'll never do. ---
Monorailcat Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 I've managed to fix this problem for Cyborg evo force! It took a lot of glue and duct tape... Contact me if you want - I'll send fix and instructions
WallyCZDCS Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 This should fix the force feedback crashing issue with Saitek Cyborg Evo Force https://github.com/WallyCZ/saitek-cyborg-ff
