Display Name Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Currently as of DCS 2.7.2.8165.2 Open Beta I've had the issue of USB devices unplugging. I've experienced this same issue for previous versions of DCS World. Devices will be randomly unplugged despite nothing being done to the physical cables, and remain unplugged even after replugging the physical cables. When this occurs the whole PC is affected. My throttle and wireless headset's USB dongle get entirely " forgotten " by the PC and no longer shows up as devices. At times, the devices get unplugged and replug themselves seconds later, but I need to change the sound settings in DCS for it to output through my headset. This occurs only when I play DCS and seems to occur randomly. Sometimes you can go hours with nothing happening and at times it's the moment your plane loads up at spawn. The only fix is a restart. The issue seems to occur only in multiplayer. I read that it might be related to my B550 motherboard and was told to change to PCIe 3.0 through BIOS but that didn't solve it either.

RosyPlays Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Try uninstalling then reinstalling the drivers through Windows device manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 I assume you refer to these. However when I right click these the option is to uninstall devices. The only option related to drivers is to update them. If I do indeed have to uninstall the devices I don't know how to reinstall them. Could you offer further guidance ?

silverdevil Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 there is an entry on your device manager screen shot for 'saitek bulk interface' with an exclamation point in a yellow triangle. this infers a problem with that device. i suggest removing it with controllers unplugged. restart computer. install the drivers. then plug in the controllers. test in windows. https://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers.php AKA_SilverDevil AKA Forums My YouTube “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My non Saitek throttle and my headphones are the ones that are consistently affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdevil Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Do the controllers show up and test ok in Windows control panel? The yellow triangle could be causing issues. Open device manager and watch the driver with the triangle. Remove each controller until that device disappears. Also do you have the hotplug setting set in DCS?

I have tried hotplugs enabled and disabled to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdevil Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 if a USB device gets removed, it sould disappear from the device manager. can you have device manager open and remove all the controllers one by one? then you can zero in on the bad one.
