--- Comment #2 from Andrew Church achurch+wine@achurch.org 2013-08-19 18:02:05 CDT --- I looked over the DirectInput interface and didn't see any method for reporting that, which is why I took the reconnect route. That said, I'm not at all familiar with DInput so if there's a better way to handle dead devices, that's fine too.
