360 Controller (Thrustmaster gpx) never been recognized

I have this nice game for a little while now and I have tried everything to get my gamepad to work.
Am I alone with this issue?
Tried verifying, then re-installing. rebooting, plug/unplugging pad,both Win7 64 built in driver and MS 360's as well... both no luck.
Still works fine on all other games on PC that use the 360.
Not a huge problem for me, but, just weird that I can't get it working....

Hi BobMan,

Sorry you're having trouble with your controller. We're working on an update we believe will help fix the problem. We'll post again when the update is ready.

Hi again BobMan,

We were hoping that this would be easy..

The short answer is that we aren't supporting the Thrustmaster GPX. We didn't include a control handler for the game simply because we didn't expect Loot Hound to attract a lot of different controller types (which in retrospect isn't the best decision for a PC game). We only check for a couple, including XBox 360. The GPX gives a different name when you plug it in (i.e. it's driver name) and without a handler we don't know what that is. Our options at this point are to integrate a control handler into the game (which isn't that straightforward at this point) or to find a GPX controller and get the specific info we need to recognize it and map the buttons correctly. Turns out GPX controllers aren't as easy to find in the UK. We'll keep our eyes out for an easy way to get our hands on one or, if more people start coming to us with compatibility issues, we could go down the control handler route. Not what you wanted to hear, sorry!

I understand where you are coming from and appreciate the time spent.
If I run across a fix or workaround from this end, I will post it.
Enjoy spring !
