I swore I had info on this issue, but I'm not seeing it on my EAWHS site. I remember I think it had to do with a misconfigured eaw.ini.

I would make a rename of your eaw.ini  to eaw.ini.old and then run eaw.exe to build a new eaw.ini file to see if the gun shooting issue goes away....without messing with the control configuration.

This problem happens when the game looses connection to the joystick after it's been detached and it's entries in the EAW.INI have been erased. This is done by Windows and the connection is not restored when it's plugged back in again. Instead you have to go through setting up your preferences again or as Mark suggested use a backup INI with the appropriate working entries.

Thanks VBH. Been too long since this has happened and I forget exactly what the issue was. I wasn't given much info to go on in the first place. :\

But yeah, when the stick is configured and then you start up eaw.exe without it, the game clears the configuration. Like VBH did say. :)

If Windows loose the device ID then this happens as well, like VBH said. :)

Don't worry Mark, you've got my back and I got yours. 😅
