reWASD + Lost Ark

[Dev_Lion]

When having reWASD running in the background of lost ark I am not able to get my RS to register any inputs. (whether it is from a physical controller, or a virtual controller) only fix I have found is restart the computer with out reWASD launching. Having reWASD open and not even active starts and triggers this issue.

Has anyone found a work around / fix? or is this just an issue that is going to stop me in my tracks

Hi! If reWASD is not active (no config applied), it shouldn’t affect how your controller works at all. Just having the app open in the background doesn’t interfere with input.

Could you please send us a screenshot of the full reWASD window?

Sorry it wouldn't let me edit the original message. I have done further troubleshooting and here is what I have discovered:

When reWASD is disabled my physical controller works fine.
As soon as I enable reWASD and it creates the virtual gamepad is when the RS stops working and being recognized in game. (physical controller or virtual controller)
While reWASD is enabled everything else works on the physical controller, all other remaps to the virtual controller also work (wasd > UDLR movement on LS, ABXY button presses etc)

edit #2: I got physical controller to work 100% of the time, even with reWASD enabled. however reWASD RS is still not working no matter how i map it ... I also checked steam controller settings, and it is enabled and turned on for the virtual controller (xbox one)

Hi. The screenshot you provided only shows the keyboard mappings for the virtual controller. Please also send us a screenshot from the controller mappings section for your physical device.

Also, please check if both the virtual and physical controllers work correctly in the tester, both with and without the applied config.

Physical and virtual controllers work in the tester. (though one of my profiles the RS is not working for virtual in the tester, so I will work on remapping that) However, even the profile that is working in the tester the RS does not work in game.

I am not using any mappings from physical controller > Keyboard for in game purposes (It has native support for physical controller) I have been using physical controller for testing purposes and troubleshooting in game to see if I was having a reWASD issue or a Lost Ark issue.

I only have mappings from Keyboard > Virtual Controller

Unless there is a way to map from Keyboard > physical controller?? (not creating a virtual controller, and having the computer think that the physical controller is the device sending the commands)

I am doing this so that I can use WASD movement in game, as the game is naturally point and click movement (unless you are using a controller [LS for movement / RS for aiming]), I have used some of the guides and profiles from reWASD forums that have gotten it to work so I do know its supposed to be possible.

If everything works correctly in the tester, then the issue is not related to reWASD.

If you group your keyboard/mouse with the physical controller and apply the config using 'Apply to physical', there will be no virtual controller, and the controller mappings assigned to the keyboard/mouse will work as if they are coming from the physical controller.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This solved the issue! For whatever reason the game doesn't like the virtual gamepad I guess. As soon as I grouped my physical gamepad and routed it to that instead of the virtual it started working like a charm! I appreciate the help

I’m so glad you found a solution! I’ve been stuck for hours with a game that wouldn’t recognize my virtual controller, so I understand the “huge” feeling when the game finally works with a physical controller — it’s a godsend!
