[Fixed] controls wont work OR 1fps = Unplayable
First scenario:
If i play the game with my g13 keyboard all other controls are disabled
but the game runs at 60FPS

Second scenario:
I disable the g13 keyboard and can use the keyboard or controller
but my game runs at 1fps

Now the problem with the G13 keyboard i get,
since it emulates the stick on the side of the keyboard as a joystick/controller
But that the game shows 1 fps when you remove the emulated controler thats a mistery.

Does anyone know of a fix for the G13 compatibility?

I disabled the "Logitech G13 Joystick" instead of uninstalling it in the Device manager
after restarting my pc both g13 keyboard and controller where working fine.

Here is a screenshot of the device that caused the problems.

Do you mean with the G13 keyboard you can't map any of the controls?

If i start the game with the "Logitech G13 Joystick" device enabled,
the cursor would be on "Quit Game" and the arrows "up - down - left - right" would not respond.

This shows the start position.

So i was not able to map my keys.
But disabling the device solved the problem with the unresponsive controls and the 1fps issue.

Thanks for the fast response though.

Have you tried remapping your Logitech controls with Joy2Key like described here?

This solved some issues that other people had with Direct Input devices.

Nope, this won't help him, because interface interaction with his device/drivers bugged. For some reason game thinks device constantly sends some signals (POV down?).

A few people with Logitech keyboards had success with the d_input_test beta branch. I think DirectInput is pretty much the culprit. Try it out and let us know what results you get.

Well if it was constantly pressing down, it should go from top to bottom in a loop.
but instead it stands at the bottom not cycling trough the options at all.

Its probably a problem with the game.
If i unplug the "Logitech G13" it gives me 1fps ingame.
If i disable the "Logitech G13 Joystick" in the device manager the game plays fluid.
And i do not use the little joystick for mouse emulation so it does not matter for me.

What I meant is that the workaround with J2K won't help here since device recognized by the game and sending signals. Remapping anything in this case won't do a thing. It would make sense in the beta branch with disabled DI, though.

Not sure if this helps but all I had to do was plug in my XBOX360 gamepad (On our other PC we used a PS2 gamepad with an adapter) and the game went from 1 FPS to 60 FPS instantly.
The moment I unplug my gamepad, it's back to 1 FPS.
I use a MS Sidewinder X6 keyboard and an official XBOX360 gamepad (With wireless PC adapter) and a Razer Orochi mouse.

GPU GTX 780
CPU Phenom II 555 BE (Unlocked at 4x core / OC to 4.1 GHZ).
