After going into the controls settings joystick does not work anymore
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I recently bought a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and whenever I try to configure my controls in game, the joystick disapears from the controls area and does not work in game anymore. To fix the issue you have to restart Arma 3. {F21766}

Can't reproduce with a Logitech G940.
Are your reproduction steps full? Cause if you click Esc there is no config but there is Configure and clicking that there is no OK button, it expands the various Configure suboptions.
Anyway, I went Configure>Controls>Controller>Logitech G940 Joystick>Customize>OK and various other ways clicking between menus and the joystick never stopped working.

I can do it every time and loose controls for the joystick. Must be for the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro only. I guess but I'll see if scuba king has the issue as he has the Same joystick.

I fixed the issue by plugging it into the USB 2.0 slot. It was plugged into the USB 3.0 slot before. Not sure if this is a problem with Arma 3 or the computer or software.
