Joystick 2 object doesn't work on steam

[Naturium]

I tried with your file and it still doesn't work :/

Alright, I'll let you know when I've collected some information on this. I'm sure there's a solution.

[Naturium]

Thank you very much for your help ^^

@Naturium : talked to CT and another dev on Discord. Joy2 is widely used on Steam and an issue of not working at all is not known, at least not if plugged-in before starting the app. Can you provide a code-snipped, either mfa or a .png illustrating how you use joy2? Cheers

[Naturium]

Here's a png of the code I use for example in the menu :

If you need the mfa of the game i'll gladly send it in private message on discord/mail/twitter if you have one

[Julian82]

Thanks! What is the readout for the counter you’re referring to? You can send an .mfa to info@outbuddies.com

[Naturium]

@Julian82 I sent a mail, i don't know if you received it :/

[Julian82]

Yes, got it! I’ll look at it this weekend, need to finish some stuff for my publisher until Friday!

@Naturium : Had a look at your gamepad readout. In general there seems nothing wrong and it works on my machine. I cannot test on Steam tho.
There are two things that came to my mind to help you track the bug down further.

1. Before the gamepads work, your game demands to assign an input device for each player and stores that value in an ini. Are your sure this ini file is saved and read out correctly in the Steam environment? I see in the "Battle" frame you set and read out the ini within one frame loop (line 4). This can be dangerous in some cases cuz if the load delays a bit for some reason the read out within the same frame loop may fail and set player gamepad "0". Long story short: Check if the ini reads out correctly on Steam, if not delay the read out of the ini a couple of milliseconds after initialization.

2. Assuming joy2 may have a general problem of Steam (other devs on Discord could not confirm this), try to boil it down to a very simple .mfa that illustrates the issue.

That's the only things that came up to my mind right now! Hope you get it fixed!

Did this get resolved? Are there problems with Joypad2 on Steam?
