HidGuardian VS NFSU-XtendedInput

HidGuardian lives here: https://github.com/ViGEm/HidGuardian Its whole purpose is to block controllers from working. Figure out how she installed it and get rid of it.

And also install HidGuardian

Devreorder as already linked works well, you can also use something like HidGuardian ( https://github.com/ViGEm/HidGuardian ) normally used with Joystrick Gremlin or UCR to prevent programs from seeing certain devices at all, which can be handy in various circumstances.

Hid Guardian (Last commit 2020-12-17)is discontinued, mentions a newer HidHide so if you're using HID Guardian, you might want to make the switch.

If you install HIDGuardian, hide controller will *always* work, but you have to whitelist apps that you want to detect the controller individually as you launch them. It's not ideal, but it's the best solution I've found.

So a problem may arise after you use VJOY/Gremlin to create a new combined virtual device. This problem is that some games won't show all devices as they stop enumerating after one or two. You will then need to use HIDGuardian https://github.com/ViGEm/HidGuardian to hide the individual devices so that only the newly created combined virtual device is shown. There are a large amount of youtube videos on both VJOY and Gremlin as they are used most often.

You're gonna probably want both the ThirteenAG and XtendedInput fixes. Both really helpful at getting this game up and running in the current day.

UG and UG2

In addition to what he mentions in the video I will recommend checking the Underground Wiki. Personally I would recommend Controller XtendedInput, in addition there are more fixes if you still have problems after what the video covers.

One thing that may not be in the PC Gaming Wiki yet is my Xtended Input plugin which you may want to use to get proper XInput support.
