HidGuardian VS devreorder

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.

-devreorder

UPDATE: solved the problem using: https://github.com/briankendall/devreorder

Wondering if this could be possibly useful as well: DevReorder

Seems like you found a solution but here’s another solution I’ve used, came in handy when Sekiro only recognised a controller in position 1, and when IL-2 only recognised the first 5 usb peripherals or something like that kinda problem. Per-game reordering and hiding with this devreorder

This

Set up the device re-order app I found on AMS2 forums located here to make sure the other peripherals weren't showing up ahead of the wheel/button box.
