Controllers & xinput/dinput Library overrides

[vvuk]

I just spent a while trying to figure out why my Xbox One Series X controller connected via bluetooth was not recognized in Elite Dangerous (or other games) under Whisky. Turns out the fix is simple -- in Wine configuration, Libraries, xinput9_1_0 and dinput8 need to be set to load the builtin library, not the native one (I have builtin, native configured).

I'm guessing this would be a common thing for lots of games... perhaps worth adding a checkbox directly in Whisky configuration to make this change?

Hi @vvuk can you share the steps or video to use builtin library.

1. Select Bottle configuration
2. Press Wine Configuration button at the bottom
3. Select Libraries tab
4. Click on the libraries and press Edit. Select "builtin then native"
5. You may need to add some libraries like dinput8 manually using the dropdown.
