#Supported controllers arbitrarily being detected as "unknown" to tetr.io

in fact every controller I have is saying this now, but controllers other than the switch pro do work. LMK what infos I need/can provide.

#

It has worked in the past though it has been a while. Not sure exactly what has changed since

#

Edit: it seems this is caused by multiple controller connections.

Weird that all subsequent connections are detected but treated as "unknown" though

#

especially considering that as far as i know tetr.io only cares about whatever controller's in "port 1"

hmm, someone else

#

and they were using an xbox controller, which should absolutely be understood

#

this is one of those things that probably isn't that different between the OS

ripe shale
#

yeah i find it hard to rule out that their computer isn't borked lol

#

my main controller is a third party but officially licensed xbox controller

#

i have two from the same vendor (different models

#

a switch pro controller

#

and an 8bitDo SN20

#

though i havent tested that one on account of not being able to find it

#

actually though

#

The one im using now is always being identified as "unknown"

#

even when its the only one

#

im pretty sure it used to say it was an xbox controller

#

As long as its the only thing connected though, it works

#

considering how this is detected i don't know how that could break unless a firmware update literally rewrote its device descriptor

terse delta
#

though im pretty sure this thing can be updated i dont think ive ever downloaded an update for it

#

i could check and see

ripe shale
#

eh, windows probably messes around with this on device initialization as well

terse delta
#

messing around with this

#

first time ive ever seen this

#

when i unplugged the one i was using

ripe shale
#

wtf

#

where's this?

terse delta
#

oh nvm

#

it was the software

#

it just suddenly appeared

#

lol

#

i had completely removed my tablet and vjoy device from device manager, didnt work

#

and steam was closed

terse delta
#

ok well i updated hte controller

#

still shows as "unknown"

#

but it does work

ripe shale
#

yeah ultimately you should be able to bind it anyways

terse delta
#

random tangent

#

do you think setting the dpad to 4 way

#

would help with the issues ive talked about in the past

gilded drift
#

ok the xbox controller works on the browser version

ripe shale
#

i don't recognize whatever that software is, let alone what 4 way dpad implicates lol

terse delta
#

means it won't register diagonals i.e. pressing up/eft or up/right at the same time

ripe shale

#

kinda maybe. but potentially irritating to keep changing it

#

@ripe shale you know wh at i think it does

#

i tried a bunch of times a few hours ago

#

wasnt coming close

#

i just randomly did this out of nowhere

#

not even a tiny improvement lol

#

but 1.2 sec o.O

#

interesting to hear it works on win11

ripe shale
#

i feel like that one's about the controller literally not appearing in any condition

#

if their solution was to just map it to keyboard controls anyways

#

this one's about the YOUDIDATHING popup

simple trail
#

hmm they also have controller working on browser

#

its something that not working on browser or desktop. Failing to even detect the controller

#

second

#

if a controller is listed as "unknown", it simply means the controller isnt listed in the game's internal vendor/product id database

#

"xbox controller" will generally show up for all controllers that use xinput on windows

#

what controller are you using that shows up as unknown?

terse delta
#

nacon RIG Pro Compact the one im mainly using. I have another one from them thats full size, revolution X or something like that. It occured to me it actually has a switch on it to be directInput or Xinput

#

i misplaced hte cable for it though so I can't check what it says in each switch state

#

However as I noted earlier, it said "unknown" when i connected th e switch controller with the pro compact already connected

#

but when it was the only controller connected, it identified it as a switch controller

i'm having this issue right now. my xbox controller is being detected as "unknown controller connected" and doesn't detect its inputs
