Failed to set DirectInput device axis mode: 1

[qwqgqg]

Hello,
I followed this video to every detail: , but console is spamming this - "Failed to set DirectInput device axis mode: 1"

I have also same problem on Codeblocks.
EDIT: I've never had Joystick/Gamepad connected to my pc.

Do you know how to fix it please?

[qwqgqg]

I also tried another compiler on code blocks, but the console is still spamming the sentence: " Failed to set DirectInput device axis mode: 1". Check attached image please.

What would you do?

[eXpl0it3r]

If you open device manager what peripherals have you installed? Something must be registering itself as gamepad, but not actually support gamepad functionality.

[qwqgqg]

Thank you so much, you were absolutelly right EXpl0it3r.


For everyone who has simillar problem:
Open "Run window"-> type "regedit" -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Follow the attached image now -> Find device in your OEM folder which contains OEMName -> Disable/delete program/device.

[nclemenson]

I'm getting this error as well. I'm running a program called attractmode which was compiled with SFML 2.5.1.

When I run the application it is creating a device that isn't a joystick...

Any ideas?

[eXpl0it3r]

Can you try this fix/workaround?

https://github.com/SFML/SFML/pull/1634

[nclemenson]

Thanks for trying to resolve the issue. It doesn't work, but gives a more meaningful output:

Failed to set DirectInput device axis mode to absolute for device "Arcade Stick (Street Fighter IV FightStick)": 1

This is repeated.

[eXpl0it3r]

Does it also "spam" that line in the console or only show it once?

[nclemenson]

Yes, it spams it.

[roccio]

Same problem for me. It starts on window creation and them it spams.

[Jontox]

This is exactly what it is displayed in attractmode console: "Failed to set DirectInput device axis mode: 1".
And that is spamming indeed in attractmode console mode.
The consequence is that SFML deactivates the controller and that is why attractmode is not registering any input.

Indeed my controller is registering itself as a Xbox 360 Gamepad Controller, but what's the point ?

The driver automatically installed by WIN10 is precisely Xbox 360 Controller and my joystick is indeed a Xbox 360 Hori joystick compatible with PC as well.
The joystick is perfectly working under WIN10 or any other game so why is SFML disabling it, it's out of my competence field.

The joystick concerned is Hori Real Arcade Pro EX
https://www.amazon.fr/Hori-Real-Arcade-Fighting-Stick/dp/B001GDONZS

Is it a bug in SFML or linked to SFML implementation in attractmode ?

N.B.: The proposed fix is that same post it not working. The result is same issue but with more explicits controller concerned as mentioned by nclemenson.

Many thanks in advance

This was changed in commit 3557c46. The last release of Attract-Mode was built before this commit was merged. Try building Attract-Mode with SFML master and see if this problem is fixed.

[Jontox]

Thanks a lot for your help.

I'll try and report... There is always a first time...
