Bug #: 30837
           Summary: Star Trek Online doesn't detect joystick/gamepad
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.5
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dinput
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: vitor.dominor@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified
Recently I decided to try playing Star Trek Online with one of my old but still
working xbox 1 gamepads. For that purpose, I installed the xboxdrv (the
userspace driver for xbox 360 and 1 gamepads) and after running xboxdrv with
the command xboxdrv --silent --trigger-as-button, I started the game. The game
has support for joysticks (I made sure I enabled joystick support in the
in-game options). However, the game does not detect it, since it does not
respond to any button presses or axis movements from the gamepad.
When running the game from the terminal, the output I get with the gamepad
attached to the PC is attached to this bug report.
I have tried running the game natively on Windows 7 and XP SP3 with the gamepad
attached and it is detected and runs as expected. Furthermore, by running STO
with apimonitor from http://www.rohitab.com/apimonitor in Windows, I was able
to determine that the game uses direct input 8, specifically the
IDirectInputDevice8 and IDirectInput8 interfaces, to detect and control the
system mouse and any attached joystick. It uses in particular the
IDirectInput8::EnumDevices to find any available joysticks.
In order to determine if this is an issue specific to this game running on
Wine, I tried using the gamepad with another game well supported by wine and
which also supports joysticks: Trackmania Nations Forever. This one detects the
gamepad as a joystick automatically and by adding +dinput to WINEDEBUG, I
noticed the following line on the output:
Code:
trace:dinput:IDirectInputWImpl_EnumDevices (this=0x12f718,0x0004
'DIDEVTYPE_JOYSTICK',0x8fc5a0,0x12238a0,0001).
After that, wine outputs successfull detection of the joystick:
Code:
trace:dinput:find_joydevs Found a joystick on /dev/input/event16: Xbox Gamepad
(userspace driver) ({9e573eda-7734-11d2-8d4a-23903fb6bdf7})
Next, while running STO on wine with WINEDEBUG="+dinput":
and while the game detects and initializes the system mouse through dinput, it
seems to initialize the IDirectInput8 Interface, but it does not enumerate any
joystick unlike Trackmania.
