Struggling with controls for Arma3

Post by mattjames13 »

solved: xpadder compatibility issue with 8.1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldLmY1efxGU



ok, I installed xpadder last night and ran thru some tutorials on how to use it. I got the basics of how to set it up and program keys. I used an image provided on one of the tutorials and this list of commands that are at the bottom of this post. When I'm looking at the commands in xpadder everything looks good. the buttons match up and when I click on a specfic button and go into advanced it looks like they are setup correctly to what they should be. However, when I enter into arma 3 most of the buttons change or do not work or are mapped differently then what the xpadder program has on there. I'm struggling to fix this issue. There was a comment in one post that said I needed to disable both controllers from within arma 3, but when I do this I get no response from the game pad. An example of my issue is the Y button is binded to V on the keyboard for vault. When I open up notepad on desktop and press the Y button on the gamepad it types a V, so the mapping is correct. But when I enter into arma 3 directly following testing this the Y on the gamepad does nothing while pressing V on the keyboard works properly and makes the player vault. Any help of suggestions would be great.

thanks

e: running windows 8.1 and i have tried running as admin with no change

e#2: further review has revealed that xpadder is not working in game at all. When I run arma 3 with xpadder off my controls are the same as when xpadder is on. So I'm not sure what to do with that, would love any ideas
