Does not work to hide joystick from Steam/Rocksmith2014

[nmeier]

I have issues with Rocksmith 2014 thinking my spiking T-Rudder is an input, which leads to ghost UI selections.

I've configured devices into visible/hidden - the log says that DLL is effective and the settings are read

From the code I take it that this means the joystick enumeration Rocksmith is doing should skip that joystick as input.

Alas Rocksmith continues to react to it.

I realize this is a special observation. Maybe others have a similar issue specifically with steam games.

Things tried

• system install - no
• steam controllers on/off - yes

Can you post your devreorder.ini for Rocksmith 2014?

I have tried both explicitly hiding the relevant controller GUIDS through the hidden section, and only limiting the controllers Rocksmith sees through the visible section (attached). From the log I conclude that the DLL correctly identifies my (spikey) t-rudder stick as not visible (which it shouldn't).
