On another point, looked at the actual bind files, and button assignments have been changed to hex code, the same as the last time this happened.
Come on devs. not all players who rely on controllers can afford to go out and buy a $50 xbox controller and a $25 USB adapter to play STO. Stay with the directinput code and forget the x-input.
Fail to understand why A) nothing was learned from last time and
I've remapped my stick to act as keys, but it's not a very good alternative.
How do you do this?
Why isn't this tested before release?
Must be Cryptic/PW hates disabled people. And by extension veterans because I am technically both.
I mean why attribute this to something like shoddy programming practices when you can attribute it to something as simple as "well only a tiny subset of our customers use this feature, **** 'em."
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. So it could be either.
I am having the same problem with my Logitch F310 Gamepad. Neither of the joysticks work. While it does not completely prevent me from playing the game, it does restrict what I can do. I'm not about to try any PVE content, for example.
While there are quite a few buggy issues with the release of DR, overall I think the expansion has gone pretty well. However, as this particular issue does affect a large group of players, and undoubtably affects various disabilities, I do agree this should take some priority, especially since it is a known issue that has been resolved in the recent past.
Though I doubt this time it was intentional. The dev team should have known how to prevent this as the same thing happened last time. The simple fact they used the same code that didn't work with the season 9 launch is key that someone dropped the ball.
Since the update, the neutral position of the controller is not always registering as neutral. Intermittently it causes slow walks or unwanted turns in space combat, in which it is a particularly inconvenient bug (resulting in great difficulty maintaining proper firing arcs).
Bug reported in-game as well.

Try it and see if it works.
I have to agree that someone dropped the ball again. I use my Logitech F350 for ground, so I can get limited use from it in the "X" position, I also combine that with my G13 and can decent results, it's still not a good as in the direct mode. Hopefully it won't take them a couple of weeks to add back in the support for them, I won't be surprised if it does though, considering their 'regular' patches only happen once a week.
When will it be fixed ??? so a lot of us can play again.
We told them about this issue like 6 weeks back on test and they put it in anyway.
Not only did they know about it, but knew the code they were trying to use didn't work because the same thing that happened happened last time. Right down to the controller button labels in the Bind Save files being converted to hex addresses instead of actual button assignments such as "Ab" or "Joy1" etc.
And while those with d to X-switchable controllers may get some stick control back, the button layout for a, b, x, and y is totally different so tray assignments would be messed up, and those of us with custom setups can't edit the bind files without knowing what hex codes refer to what buttons, and there are too many button combos to even attempt to decipher.
Besides that still leaves those with direct input only controllers out, a situation I myself would be in if I hadn't just recently bought a new F310 as my Dual action was starting to wear out.
But all my custom binds, which literally remapped all my buttons so I divided the 3 X 10 tray into 6 5
button sections, custom shield and throttle triggers, Carrier controls, etc but all programmed for direct input mode which is set up based on the direct input mode button positions and not x-box.
Here's a hint devs, don't try to "fix" what isn't broken, it ends up with you breaking things worse.
I use logitec joystick and its working fine in all other games.
When can we get this fixed ???
Ohh well guess Ill down load arch age and play their till then. I even bought a pinical game profiler to try and get a work around working but no luck since the commands in game are broken yet again.
Going into the Options menu on line, and selecting Controllers, I have Joystick selected/activated. But I am given options ONLY to UNMAP Joystick functions. The joystick seems completely inactive - screen does not respond to any movements made with Joystick.
Please advise ASAP.
