Sidewinder Strategic Commander problems
Hi again, has really noone a solution for this problem?: mrmanic;913910 Wrote: Hi folks, well...i use the MSC for egoshooters like BF2 and BF2142. (Don't wonder...crazy germans...) it works very fine under windows XP, but now under vista ultimate x64 i have problems. i use this awsome software (thanx btw.) in the last version 1.3, but it will sometimes work under BF2, sometimes not. this means that the controller is found by the software and i can configure everything, but when i start the game i have no ingame function. when it works, everything is fine like under xp. a possible problem is maybe a conflict, when i join a game over the xfire function. i'm testting on it. the bigger problem is that it doesn't works under BF2142!:cry: any ideas??? marc p.s.: great forum here! -- mrmanic |

mrmanic;997372 Wrote: Hi again, has really noone a solution for this problem?: Ok, I have a solution for getting it to work in Vista Home Premium 64bit (including the lights!) - I plugged in the device and it said installed but didn't do anything - when I checked the device manager I had one device not recognised. I right clicked and selected update drivers - then selected look on internet for recommended driver. - Weirdly, it found a driver and installed it. the driver is *ATK0110 ACPI Utility* that was installed and it now shows in the System Devices. - I then installed the bodyprint software http://www.bodyphatt.com/cold-incisi...cSetupv1.3.exe - Worked and installed like a charm All the lights work too -- Bandare |

I seem to be having the same problem others are having. I got this wonderfull software for my strategic commander working on vista 64, but it does not work when I play World of Warcraft. Any ideas? This seems to be a common problem with 3rd person type games. -- banjoe669 |

OK, I fixed my own problem. It is built right into the software. You just have to press start engine to make it work! Thanks again for great software!! -- banjoe669 |

Thanks again for great software!! -- banjoe669 Hi everyone - Sadly I'm still having issues with getting the Commander inputs to register inside of my game app. I'm playing Champions Online on Windows 7 64-bit (RC v. 7100)... the Strategic Engine App loads and registers the device, and I can execute the key commands into native apps like wordpad, but it is not registering within the game. I don't have any particular drivers installed for the device, but I can't quite tell if they are needed... any suggestions? And a super shout out to Philip for setting this up; so glad to have found others who still think the Commander is still the best gaming device out there! -- noahsam Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Hello! Is it be possible to use the "+" and "-" buttons on the strategic commander as "7" and "8"? Would be very usefull in Warcraft3, Company of Heroes and other Strategy games '[image: http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/5521/sidewinderstrategiccomm.th.jpg]' (http://img512.imageshack.us/i/sidewi...tegiccomm.jpg/) #edit#: Imageshack = Buggyshack direct link http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/5...ategiccomm.jpg -- LtComDATA |
