[Resolved] The game now blocks any Elgato peripherals on my PCs now

[Waldherz]

Edit: Seems like most peoples Logitech gear still works. I removed logitech from the title. But a lot of other remapped buttons do not function, foot pedals, mouse 4 and 5, AHK etc. are all disabled now.

As soon as its opened, any of my Elgato devices stop to function when the game window is in focus. They do function normally outside of the game or even while the game is open, but not in focus.
Happened since todays patch. Happens on multiple PCs.

Update:
As of today, 24.02 at 21:10 local german time or 20:10 local UK time, the Elgato Pedals work again!
I have no idea why or what caused it and some specific features of the Elgato software still wont properly work (such as automatic focus detection for volume control) but who cares.

THE PEDALS WORK AGAIN!

Ive got the Elgato + Deck (The one with dials)
I had the issue in which I could not control volume via the Elgato plugin "Volume Controller".
Someone else posted this somewhere and it worked for me;

(Make sure your plugins are up-to-date)

Have Helldivers running

Go into windows processes and there should be two processes called ElgatoAudioControlServer and ElgatoAudioControlServerWatcher

Kill both of them, they might start back up automatically. If not navigate to
C:\Program Files\Elgato\Volume Controller (Default installation path)
And launch them yourself. And now hopefully it works for you also.

Thanks, this worked :)

Nah if it means people with disabilities get to play I'm on their side. Cheating with macros in a game like this is a minuscule aid for your overall performance. It's not like HD1 where you needed to reinforce as the last man standing, or the mission ended when no one was left alive.
If you aren't having fun with the strangers you're playing with because you sense macros, simply find a new squad or play with people you know.

So let me guess this straight you want to allow harm to the majority, (in terms of their play) so the minority can play? This is a reflection of society right here. Things work best when the majority are catered for. Because thats the day to day, the mundane, the mediocre and the pedestrian.

Games are no different, when the few dictate how a game works, which may i add this minority could be anything, from elitists and whales to acessibility options. I have a colour blindness issue, where i cant descern objects of the same colour when they overlap, id never see a dude in forest camo sat in a field of grass for example unless he moved. It all blurs together. Now while games quite often cater for other colour blindness issues they often dont cater for mine. I still play the games, im not going to demand the developer spend man hours just for a handful of people with this issue - its unaffordable.

It's because I don't see it harming the majority one bit in this specific game. If you get in a group with someone using macros or other aids, will you even notice? And if you do, it's so easy to block the player and move on. It's not a competitive game where it'd actively ruin your fun to play against someone who got an edge with peripherals.
Blocking resource cheats, aimbots and so forth is different from blocking peripherals and macros.

Of course its different the problem is the nefarious ones use those tools. they use macros to input things faster than they should be, they use peripherals to gain an edge. You say block them? why not solve the problem and remove their ability to do that instead of sweeping their existance under a rug.

You cant be wishy washy and nitpicky. otherwise some one can, will and has done something far more serious than cheat in some money or get lazy with key combinations.

For example, controller modfications like rapid fire buttons, are banned. almsot everywhere. take something like GDQ. many of teh games played for that are single player. should it matter? Theres a reason Glitchless and no hack runs are far more impressive. Cos they played the game and did it well inside of the bounds designed. Its a damn shame that those with disabilities have to use those tools so they are able to play and have their play ruined even more so by bad actors.

If the choice is between cheaters infesting the game or having easy access for the disabled, well I'm sorry but the enemy can't pull a trigger if you disable their hand. File a support ticket and ask for help in the discord. The game blocking macros is imho objectively good, even if it's inconvenient.

It does have cheaters it has since day 1 nprotect is a joke its a running joke how easy it is to hack.

Update: Also not a single one of my other footpedals function. I need those to play games.
Everything was fine before patch 008.

so what you're saying is devs don't care about disabilities 10/10

The game desperately needs a colorblind mode with how much fire and green gas they use
