Are you using a usb or serial port joystick?

USB, my laptop doesn't have a serial port.

well mine does 😜 (relises how ghetto that sounded 🙁) Um, I can't really help you there, I don't know how well dosbox supports usb interface because I have both ps2 on my keyboard and mouse.

I thought DOSbox simply used the Windows peripherals for this sort of input. I'm a bit vague on the technical aspects of it.

Try timed=false or fixed cycles.

Fixed cycles did the trick, 10,000 of them seems like a decent refresh rate (although I also had to reverse the 3rd & 4th axes to get the throttle working). Thanks for the assist.

I'm glad you got it fixed, sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

No problem, any offer of help is still help.

Even if I just sit in the corner eating jello and nodding my head at evreything you say...

Depends on the Jello flavour and if you share 😜

Hello, I have almost the same problem with an Xbox One controller. I'm playing the GOG.com release of the game. The GOG setup already uses fixed cycles and setting timed=false didn't work.

Here's my post on the GOG forums... https://www.gog.com/forum/subwar_2050_complet … _one_controller

Thanks!

I found a fix for my Xbox One (XInput) controller with Subwar 2050! The default GOG settings work fine without changing them. What you need to do, is run install.exe or config.exe in the game's directory using DOSBox and choose "Reconfigure Hardware Options". Then, when you get to "Control Method", choose "Joystick" using the space bar not enter. Now, hit enter, and it should say "Configuration File Written".

Now, when you start the game, it will ask you to configure the Joystick!
