Bug #: 33104 Summary: Joysticks/pads not detected in Kerbal Space Program. Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sal_vager@o2.co.uk Classification: Unclassified
Joysticks and gamepads are not detected in Kerbal Space Program, and cannot be set as control devices in the games settings so they cannot be use in the game.
Kerbal Space Program is made in the Unity game engine, which uses rawinput for cross platform compatibility, and while the rawinput patch that was added in Wine 1.5.13 ( http://gitorious.org/chakra-packages/lib32/blobs/89c459680eb9a67ed8bf44c1ca3... ) provides keyboard and mouse support, it doesn't work for joysticks.
Now that rawinput support is integrated, it'd help a lot if the support were expanded to include sticks and pads.
