Alright so I got 1-4 a few weeks ago. Installed 1-3 so far and all of them worked just fine when I installed them at the time.
Today I played some 1, which works perfectly, and then decided to just go with 3 again just for the heck of it. Thing is, all of a sudden WC3 has decided that it won't recognize my joystick input anymore.
When it launches it initially brings me to the calibration screen (cross with the stick position on the left), which seems to recognize the stick as it displays the position of the stick below it. There is however no white dot on the cross like I remember there being earlier.
Either way I follow the instructions, which are just "center the stick and press a button" and it launches the game.
I go to the flight simulator or one of the missions and I have no control over my ship. I can use the buttons on the stick just fine, firing the guns works, accelerating and decelerating works, looking around works, autopilot works but that's about it. I cannot turn it or maneuver at all. Not even when pressing buttons on the keyboard or moving the mouse around.
Pressing ALT+O to get into the options menu and then changing the control type to various options or calibrating from there does not work. Putting the game into joystick mode with CTRL+J does not work either.
I also verified the game files and restarted the PC/GOG already.
I'm at a loss here, especially considering that the game seemed to work just fine a few weeks ago when I last launched it.
I'm using Windows 10 and an X52 stick.
Thanks to anyone that has suggestions on how to fix this.
