--- Comment #3 from Gilboa Davara gilboad@gmail.com 2011-06-12 16:21:40 CDT --- OK. I've fixed libjoyevent (The library that I use to intercept and modify joystick events) and got to work under wine. The library is now configured to mask-out the "profile selection" buttons. X3:TC no works without issues.
In short, it looks like its indeed the always-on profile selection button that causes the X3:TC to go nuts.
