GRID wont recognize my Logitech Rumblepad 2.

[[Wolverine]]

Hi guys, just downloaded the demo and rushed to play, but my Rumblepad 2 wont be displayed on the controls settings. My MOMO is recognized without issues.

Any ideas??

I have the same problem

Are you on XP or vista?

XP with SP2.

It works flawlessly on other games, except Colin McRae Dirt, which coincidentally happens to be from Codemasters also.

[Khameleon808]

It doesnt recognize mine either. I am running windows xp 32bit w/sp3 and the drivers are installed correctly cause it works with other games like tomb raider and need for speed. if you get support for this pad, consider this game bought :)

Found a gamepad emulator, guess it might work. Test and post what you think guys: www.xpadder.com

[Adebisi]

Anyone worked out how to sort this out yet? Anyone got it working on XP?

[Mekanic]

I had the same problem. I uninstalled the Logitech Profiler, installed the latest version and it worked.

Logitech (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/support_downloads/downloads/&cl=us,en)

Be sure to create a new profile for Grid. Got it working on 2 of my systems, one running XP pro w/SP2 and one running XP Pro w/SP3.

Interesting, will test this as I get to home tonight, thx for the tip.

Just as a feedback, I tested the Xpadder, it worked well, takes sometimes to configure each button, but is easy to do, worth trying. Of course that having the gamepad working without emulating is better.

Hi guys,

You should be able to use your Logitech Rumblepad 2 controller in the race if you configure it in the custom config screen. More details on how to do this are here:

nope... in the custom panel of the controller configuration the pad does not perform any action... the pad is good with any other application... only GRID does not recognize my two pads... it's incredible...

When you follow the instructions in my linked post (which I've updated to hopefully make them clearer), what happens when you do step 4? Does the question mark remain on screen until the game times out waiting for your controller input? If this is what happens then there's a problem with your install of the controller drivers, because the game will recognise any DirectInput device.

yes ... "the question mark remain on screen"... nothing appens when i press any button on both gamepads... I remark that I use these gamepads with all my other games using the same driver, the same configuration in the same OS and PC... just an example: need for speed (carbon and pro street) and trackmania nations

[Malrog]

@Rojoloco:

First, can you please make sure you have the newest version of the Logitech Gaming software? You can find the version info in the Help->About menu of the Logitech Profiler...mine is Version 5.02.116 Date 04/04/2008. If you don't have this latest version, then you should update from here (http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/latest_soft_main.htm). Make sure to uninstall your previous version first. :)

If this doesn't work, or if you have the latest version, please attach your DxDiag.txt to a post so I can take a look at it, thanks.

To get your DxDiag.txt:
Click on the Start button and select Run.
In the Open: field type in dxdiag and click the OK button.
On the resulting box click Save All Information...

Thanks :)

Got it working,

A few weeks ago I installed the new trackmainia and had to disable 2 parts of my Saitek gaming keyboard to get the game working (this is a know bug with that game). I went into hardware profile and enabled it and it worked after that. You would not think that the saitek keyboard would have any inpact on the legitech pad? But it was a last resort. I have had the legitech pad working on other games with the gameing keyboard disabled on other games though.

Not sure if this helps anyone but it fixed it for me, it did not see it as a default set up though i still needed to configure the contoler and map the controls and it does not control the menus etc; aybe i need a reinstal of the game now.

[Malrog]

That's curious, but it's good to hear you got it working. There's no default setup for the pad in the demo, so it doesn't control the menus. We're looking at adding support for the pad with a patch very soon after release, possibly even on day 1.

[LeBabouin]

I succeeded to set the Rumblepad on in the custom config panel and I have been able to drive one online race with the pad working well.
In the second race, same room same session, the pad stopped working and the multiple attempts I did after that didn't succeed to make the pad work again O_o.
Actually when the multiplyer race starts, I get no pad response nor any keyboard key response, the car is stuck and I can only exit the multiplayer game.
But when I go check the pad config, in case it could have been re-initialized, everything is ok in the pad setting panel.
What could I try to fix?

[Malrog]

I don't really know what could be causing that, does it work correctly in offline races?

[rakanisshu]

i have rumblepad too, but not 2.. i supose the rumblepad 2 is wireless one.. so did u installed the latest software for ligitech? or you just playing without it?

[rakanisshu]

Once I installed it and some games didn't recognize my rumblepad, i suggest mby u try to uninstall drivers that u own on your PC (if u have them intstalled)... mby that helps...

[[Wolverine]]

Rumblepad 2 has a wired and a wireless version, mine is the wired one.

I'm using the latest Game Profiler available on Logitech's site.

I managed to make it work using the Game Profiler and attributing key presses to the buttons, the problem is I can't use the analog sticks and this game really asks for them... On every corner the car just turns too much and I lose both speed and time...

Hi There

You should be able to configure any DirectInput device on the custom controls screen, and that includes your Rumblepad. So in order to understand what's happening, can you explain what happens when you try and assign the analog sticks to an action (e.g. steering). To check you're doing things right, there's a "How to assign" guide here (http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4024306#post4024306). Can you also attach a DxDiag for me please, if you don't want to put it on the forums you can PM me directly.

Finally, if you download the Poswdm Utility (http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/gadgets.htm#Poswdm%20Utility:) from the wingman website, what values change when you move the analog sticks - i.e. what axes are they reporting?

Thanks.

that is my problem to... I mean i dont use profiler, and it works perfectly, but in San Francisco the 30 sec before finish line one curve at 90° is just hell of a curve... always crush my speed over 40 and i lose time

Just to let you guys know, there are problems with the Logitech Rumblepad 2 that we're aware of. I've posted here (http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4040259#post4040259) explaining the problem, and I've mentioned there that it will be fixed in a patch.

I think now is a good time to also mention that we're adding full support for the Logitech Rumblepad 2 in the patch aswell, so there will be a default setup, and you'll be able to control the menus too.

:D

[rakanisshu]

nice one... btw, i just checked, my analog is working(without any drivers intalled)..

Nothing happens when I try to assign the analog sticks, the game won't recognize any button press on the Rumblepad 2.

Downloaded the Poswdm Utility, here's what I get when I move the sticks:

Left stick, X (left and right), Y (up and down).
Right Stick, Z (left and right), rZ (up and down).

Which screen of the DxDiag do you need??

[Malrog]

The System information and DirectInput sections are what I'm mostly interested in. Thanks.

That all looks sensible to me.
A couple of things to try:
Run Logitech's Clear Calibration utility which can be found on this page (http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/gadgets.htm#Clear%20Calibration%20Utility:).
If that still doesn't help, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the Logitech Profiler software and make sure you don't plug your pad back in until after you've finished installing it.

Did everything you said, step by step, no success... :(

I'll have to wait for the patch, eheheheh.

thank god!! but the DEMO VERSIOn of GRID work's perfectly with Logitech RumblePad 2 analogs! smooth steering :D

just installed the demo and the full version
on demo version : using analogs or D-Pad results in smooth steering (no twitchy)
on full version : twitchy steering = minor push of left analog and the car goes crazy

what files are responsible for handling or steering?? maybe i can find them and replace the "good ones" from the DEMO VERSION with the "bad ones" from FULL VERSION

[Khameleon808]

Thats such good news. since i am having the exact same problem with the twitchy steering in the full version. im not as mad as everyone else about it since its problems like this that need to be addressed for patches even to be made. Plus its comforting to know that us rumblepad 2 users will have some resolution in the near future. so just hang in there guys and thanks to all the programmers working hard to make this game work for as many people as possible. This is a great game and i think waiting for a patch is worth it :)

I did notice however some blackouts still on the san fran track so maybe they can iron out some of those things with this new patch :)

[DeFiAnCeNL]

Im having the same issues, and i think its really down right scandalous that CM would release this game in this state, im a big fan of CM Race Games, and was also of GRID.
I was plying GRID DEMO alot, assuming the issue was fixed in the full game.
Allas, its not :(

What is the ETA on the patch fixing the controls on a Rumblepad II ?

[LeBabouin]

I'm raging at this moment, I want the game so hard but as I know the Rpad2 doesn't work right, I have to wait till I dont know when. So frustating. Fortunately, I cant get enough of TRD3.

[Wolvers]

Hi guys,

I've made my Rumblepad 2 usable by lowering the sensitivity of the steering axis to 10% in the Logitech Profiler software.

Also, you can make it work in the menus by assigning key strokes to the d-pad and numbered buttons, also using the Logitech Profiler sofware.

Hope this helps a bit until the patch is released.

I wonder how you managed that. I assigned commands in the profiler corresponding to the keyboard buttons in the game. Of course the keyboard tab in the controls menu was selected. Neither the menu's or the gameplay worked that way. I do have the latest profiler software.

For gameplay you have to assign the analogue sticks to car controls in the custom controls set up ('Mode' button off on the controller).

Then create a profile in the Logitech software for GRID.exe. Set the left stick sensitivity and the dead zone to 10 or 15%. I also have the right stick's dead zone set to 10% but that's my preference, the sensitivity I have at 60%.

Now create a new POV assignment for the d-pad to control the arrow keys and assign the 1-4 buttons to control the esc, enter, ctrl and shift keys.

Now put your keyboard away and go race some muscle cars!

[NIR_Meteor]

I found that if you turn off stability control it helps a little with twitchy steering with cordless rpad 2. I am getting used to it but it is quite hard to corner well when it's almost all or nothing. Can't wait for the fix!!! Great game none the less :)

I've been using that and it's definitely better although I still struggle as every time I touch the steering, the throttle drops and cars go past.
