Hi Tony,
Can you try to determine if the controller itself is dead or if its dead simply to FrameForge. This should be easy enough to do by launching the Windows 10 control panel or, being Windows 10, go to the Settings charm > PC settings > PC and devices > Devices. Once here, scroll down to the link that reads “Devices and Printers†inside the “Printers and Scanners†tab, and click on it. From here, the controller should pop up as long as it’s already connected. Find the controller, and right click it to bring up the following drop-down menu. From here, click on the option for “Game controller settingsâ€. After you click this, a window should automatically pop up. From there, click on the “Properties†button. The window that follows will contain two options: “Settings†and “Testâ€. To start, choose the Settings tab, and then click the button in this window that reads “Calibrateâ€. Now you can not only calibrate your controller if needed but you've verified that the OS itself recognizes a valid device. Let me know what you find.
I use virtual machines for nearly all of my testing here but Ive had a difficult time getting certain USB devices to successfully pass through the host machine to the guest virtual machine with Windows 10. For that reason, I will need to isolate an actual computer i can install Windows 10 on to test our controller against.
