Is that Windows 10?

[ManuelMT21An]

Yes, Windows 10.

Sorry for responding so late, I was getting my hands on real hardware with W10. Thing is, I cannot replicate this at all.

Does it happen every time? Are you doing anything interesting, like having defective cable or Steam running in background?

[kozec]

I tagged this as "help wanted", because not only I was not able to reproduce the issue, even if I were, I'm not really sure how would I go around fixing it. It looks like something weird happening between libusb and Windows.

I've got the same problem

Let's connect somehow - maybe on a discord server and I try to give you as much information as possible!

I'm currently away from my PC, but quick question: Is anyone affected by issue connecting controller to usb hub, or using multiple usb controllers (as in adding cards)? I'm noticing pattern of having bus number in USB Failed to open device 15 on bus 2 anything but 1 here.

[rusagent]

Yes, i am using a USB Hub. And i kind of have to because i don't have much USB slots in my laptop :/

[rusagent]

There'I think there's a fix in an updated usblib libusb/libusb#295

[notNSANE]

I'm not sure if this is the same issue (I'm new to the software) but I'm not running the SC on a USB Hub and all I can do is use the Lizard Mode on the SC. The green icon is enabled.

[kozec]

Just as report; I was able to replicate the issue, but I'm still not sure how to tackle it.

Turns out that wired SC is grabbed by "generic HID mouse / keyboard driver" in Windows, which imposes some weird restrictions. Libusb then tries some magic and opens interface 0 (I have no idea why that one) and fails with FILE_NOT_FOUND. Nothing about this is right and I may end up patching libusb :(

So, this will be known bug for next pre-release.

[rusagent]

Thanks for looking into this!

[kozec]

Fixed in latest pre-release
