Game-pad - Connectivity Issues

[Milo]

I am trying to use a wireless XBOX-One controller with cloud compare. This controller is connected via an adaptor and other applications recognise the inputs.

When enabling the game-pad on CloudCompare, no controller is detected. This may be an issue with the Qt plug in but I am unsure how to resolve.

I am using Cloud compare version 2.12.4 with windows 10 enterprise 19044.1826.

Ah, sadly the Qt Gamepad module that we rely on doesn't seem to be super reliable... So I'm not that surprised that your gamepad is not recognized... I wish I'd knew a way to overcome this issue.

That's a massive shame. With the number of controller connectivity plugins available for commercial games, its strange that an unreliable QT solution has been used since 2016.

Well, we use Qt for everything... And sadly they haven't delivered a reliable module. But that's free and open source ;).
