Game Conroller Mapping Service not installing (Installation Failed with Error -1)

[Rumik]

Hi there,

I've searched the forum already but none of the solutions are working for me. Something on my PC is clearly preventing the installation of the service, because it doesn't show up in my Services list. Whenever I run ReWASD I get the "error -1" error. It's my work PC so I am pretty limited in terms of troubleshooting. Perhaps there's a commandline way to install the service manually?

Any ideas what I can do? Because my license is useless if I can't install the service.

Thanks

Hello.
You can try to run the command prompt as administrator and then enter the following commands:
x0904svc.exe -drvinstall — to install the driver
x0904svc.exe -install — to install the service.

Thanks for replying.

I'm getting "Access is denied".

I'm running CMD as Admin.

This error usually means that you do not have enough administrator rights within the system. I can't help you with that.
You need to somehow get the ability to fully use the OS.

Alright thanks, I'll reach out to my IT admin.

Hi again.

Okay, so my IT admin has managed to get ReWASD installed for me, Mapping Service and all. But the remap just never turns on.

It doesn't seem to matter what controller I use or what game I try it with. I never see the "Remap On" notification when I click on the game window. I only ever see the "Remap Off" notification when I click off the game window. The tray icon's dot never turns to green. So I think the remap just is never turning on.

Any ideas where I go from here?

Thanks.

Are you using Autodetect?
If so, can you try turning it off and applying the config manually?

[Rumik]

I’ve tried Autodetect and I’ve tried manually, neither work.

thanks

Would it be possible for you to record a video where you manually apply the config and then test it here: https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad or in any text editor (depending on the mappings you have)?

Hi there. The specific remaps I want involve the paddles, mapping the paddles to the F keys to perform certain actions. The tester above doesn't seem to detect the use of the paddles, but ReWASD certainly does. It's just that when the game is in focus, the remapping doesn't work. The game itself has its own controller support so its standard mappings still work, but if I were to change, say, B to jump in ReWASD, that remapping won't work.

In case it helps, I should also point out that remapping works as intended using Steam Input, but I can't always run games through Steam first, which is why I like ReWASD

Thank you. Is it possible to get the same video, but where autodetect will not be used, and you will simply manually apply the config?

[Rumik]

I do attempt to apply the config manually at the start of the video, hitting the Apply to Slot 2 button. And then I move onto Auto Detect, so you've got both

This is not quite true. In the video, you still had Autodetect enabled when you clicked "Apply to slot".
You need to turn it off and then try to apply the config manually.

[Rumik]

Oh my mistake, apologies!

In this video, I start with Auto Detect on, then I turn it off and hit the Apply to Slot 2 button.

It seems that reWASD does not react at all to the apply button.
If the same situation is with slot 1, then we need you to send us the logs. You can collect these logs by following the steps.

1. Exit reWASD from tray agent
2. Download and start this registry-file to enable reWASD logging: http://files.disc-soft.com/filer/shared/1641592922/716/
3. Open reWASD again
4. Wait a bit while it tries to initialize the devices and your license info. Then try to apply the config using the "Apply to slot" button.
5. Exit reWASD from the tray agent again
6. Open File explorer, go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\reWASD\Logs folder and send us its contents ('reWASD engine TextTrace' text file would be the most important)
7. Download and start this registry-file to stop reWASD from logging: http://files.disc-soft.com/filer/shared/1641592922/715/
