Windows Analog controller input blocks mouse scroll-wheel (A21)

[Sora]

Hybrid-input setups that involves at least one analog controller blocks mouse scroll-wheel (A21) input.

 

When an analogue controller is used, during joystick-driven analog movement the mouse scroll-wheel stops working.
Mouse scroll-wheel WILL work once any input from an analogue stick stops.

 

Controller types that have an analogue joystick and are or should be affected by this bug:

• XBox
• PS4/5
• Azeron Cyborg
• Razer Tartarus(?)
• Logitech G13
• Joysticks/gamepads with analog input (?) etc.

This makes it difficult for players to use BOTH a joystick type device and a mouse/keyboard setup to play 7D2D involving an analogue joystick.

 

Relevant information:

• Tested on Windows 10 Pro, 21H1 (update branch locked to 21H1).
• Steam version of 7D2D, not participating in any Beta versions.
• Tested with an Azeron Cyborg Compact running in on-board mode (firmware updated with software version 1.3.0), XBox joystick, same issue.
• Tested with a PS5 controller running DS4Windows, same issue.
• Mouse: ASUS SpathaX running in on-board mode (no ASUS bloatware installed).
• 7D2D's controller support was set using Steam (enabled).
• Primary left/right/middle mouse buttons do work during analog controller input. Only the mouse scroll wheel appears to be affected from a quick test.
• Tested on the 10k Pre-Gen map, single player with EAC enabled. Also affects joining other servers (EAC on).
• Mods do not contribute to this issue (all mods removed).
• Setting my Azeron Cyborg Compact (on-board mode) to WASD mode for the joystick will not trigger the mouse scroll-wheel-ignoring bug.
