Same steering problem for a few months

Sorry to hear about your issue. We are a small team, and we have quite many tickets to reply daily. It happens that sometimes we cannot manage to follow properly each of them.
Stenyak already gave you an answer on that, but seeing that didn't bring a concrete solution I will solicit him to give a look at here again.

We are constantly working on all the aspects on the game, and if we are going to change sometimes, it's inevitable that those changes are not going to break 'older' files. Yet, Stenyak works hard to avoid that at all costs.

Inputmaps shouldn't reset anyway with an update. If that happens to you, then it's not normal.
You say it happens at each update?
When you launch the game for the first after an update, do you get a window with a 'progress bar' ?

Could you please tell us which one is your controller?

Or give us one more chance to actually help you.

 

After analyzing your logs, I see nothing wrong, I am unable to reproduce any issues like you describe, and it is the only case I am aware of (from our support channel, forums, etc).

Therefore I need to buy the controller in order to hopefully get the same problems. Unfortunately, its Windows drivers seem to be pretty shitty, so I don't get any useful information about the hardware in our logs. The device calls itself "network usb joystick", but then proceeds to identify itself as a "gamepad"... well, you get the idea.

We would need you to tell us which exact make and model of device it is, otherwise I'm unable to buy the thing in order to actually test it and try to reproduce your issues. Thanks!
