TROUBLESHOOTING
When I start the game with the loadout manager there is no response or control from my
Nostromo game controller:
Ø
Check the status in the Game Controller Icon in the Control Panel (click Start, Control
Panel, Game Controllers). Make sure the controller is listed in the game controller panel
and the status is listed as OK.
Ø
In your game, make sure the keyboard is selected as the default controller.
Ø
Make sure your controller cable is connected properly.
Ø
In the Windows Control Panel/Game Controllers Window, make sure the window shows
the name of your Nostromo controller and OK. If you don’t see this line, or if it says “not
connected”, unplug the controller and uninstall the software and drivers. Then reboot, re-
install the software and plug in the controller. If you are using Windows 2000 be sure to
plug in the controller first.
Ø
Make sure your button assignment is what you think it is.
After using the Loadout Manager, Windows is acting erratically, as if a keyboard button was
constantly pressed.
Ø
If you are using the n50 SpeedPad, center the throttle wheel. The throttle wheel is not
auto-centering, so if there is a functioned assigned to the forward position of the throttle
in automatic mode, the computer will recognize that function as being constantly pressed.
o
To eliminate this situation, keep the throttle wheel centered when not playing, or
assign that function to another button.
o
Another way to eleviate the situation is to assign the function to the throttle
position, not as a button press but as a macro, because a macro will register the
pressing and unpressing of that function.
The button functions are not what they should be in the profile I am using:
Ø
Check to see if the original keyboard assignments within the game options have been
changed. If the original keyboard key assignments in the game have changed, it will
effect your Profile, because your profile functions are based on keyboard functions.
In Windows 2000, the Nostromo drivers did not load and the controller is only being recognized
as a HID Device.
Ø
In
Windows 2000
, the controllers
MUST BE PLUGGED IN BEFORE AND WHILE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ON THE CD
Ø
Unplug the controller.
Ø
Uninstall any Nostromo software, including device drivers
Ø
Restart the computer
Ø
Plug in the Nostromo Game Device you want to use. Allow the device to install without
the Nostromo Software Interface CD
Ø
While the controller is still plugged in, install the software interface and drivers on the CD.
The Game freezes
Ø
Restart your computer
