Gamepad is not working in Windows 7 RTM

I have a Logitech gamepad which is working fine with Vista. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7 and it does not seems to be working fine with. I have not patched the game at all, so its the one with beta patch on it. Can anyone help in this regard.

Has anyone successfully tried using XBox 360 wireless controller (which comes with XBox) to play on PC using Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows?

Assuming W7 detects it then just remap it using that software.

Edit Controller Settings through USER.DAT?

Since downloading the Beta Patch, I cannot set the P2 controller as my Logitech Dual Action. This wasn't a problem before, but now, whenever I reach the menu for controller setup, the game freezes, forcing me to end task using task manager. Can the controller setting be adjusted through a DAT file?
Thanks

Na, they are original. I got them from the second hand market. And then went to a gaming shop to confirm whether they are original or not.

You could always use 'Xpadder' - which is a programme that lets you map specific keyboard keys to buttons on your controller. I used it for AC09 with a PS2 controller. However I've since bought a xbox360 pad which works really well.

gamepad`s

How about including some support for using gamepads ??.
I have a Saitek gamepad that works fine with other sportsgames but not with
Ashes.
From the manual the game does not support gamepad`s.
That`s a pity

There's a better way but it's a bit complex and involves registry editing. If you can't get into the Registry Editor by yourself, do what AngryPixel suggests.

Anyway, adapted slightly from GTAForums.com -> Possible fix for USB gamepad problem

Open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\

You should see a long list of VID_0000&PID_0000 listings, now you need to go find which one of those is your device. In most cases it is obvious, there will be a + sign next to it with some more options, but if you see multiple ones you need to check it in Device Manager, just find the right device (Mine was under 'HID-compliant game controller'). In the details tab the option is Device instance ID, which will give you the relevant number.

Once you have it, pick buttons from the drop down menu, for me I have 12 buttons so it was numbered 0 to 11. Note that in the testing page it is numbered from 1, so take away one from those numbers, or any numbers printed on the buttons themselves.

The test page is useful to help you here, Control Panel -> Game Controllers -> Properties. Then look what button press corresponds to what number, and compare that to where you'd expect the button to be.

Then, go back to regedit, and take a note of the 'Attributes', which will be a hex string that identifies what button is what. For mine it was

02 80 00 00 09 00 -- 00

where the -- was counting up in hex from 01 for the button 0 to 0c for button 11.

From here, you'd do a simple swap. For me buttons three and one were upside down, so you'd set Button 0 (button one) to be 02 80 00 00 09 00 03 00 and Button 2 (button three) to be 02 80 00 00 09 00 01 00.

You might need to restart for it to take effect. But for me the greater issue is AC09 doesn't even notice my pad in the first place.

Hey, i have a xbox controller thus the controls arent my problem. But i have another joystick which i use when i c-op with my friends. They say it is a unfair advantage as the backfoot shot direction is mapped on the right axis of right analog. So they gotta have more than 2 hands to play a backfoot shot.

If you can find a way to rectify this then it would save me a bit from the abuse i got from them when i thump them with huge margins everytime

Cheers
