I have a TBS Tango 2. Demo was working fine for a week or so with the controller so I bought the full version. After installing that, the controller will not work in the full version OR the demo.  I've tried the tips in this thread. The controller is working in DRL. I also tried a PS4 controller, which also works in DRL but not in Freerider.

Did you try to recalibrate in Freerider after it stopped working? Are you able to control any of the little circles above the OK button on the Calibrate Controller screen?

(The input system for the demo and the full version is exactly the same).

Circles are not moving. Don't know what else it could be. In the span of 10 minutes I was using the controller in the demo,  bought the full version, installed and ran it. DIdn't reboot or disconnect the controller.

Hmmm that is very strange. Installing the full version shouldn't affect the demo, or vice versa.

If you have already tried all other reasonable approaches, this is what I would do:

- Delete both the demo and the full version from your computer.

- Restart your computer.

- Download the zip file for the full version again (just in case there was some error in the download)

- Unzip the full version, possible to another folder on your hard drive

- Re-connect your transmitter. Make sure you don't have any other joysticks/controllers connected at the same time as that might cause a conflict.

- Try to re-calibrate in Freerider


(As you may know there was an automatic Windows 10 update that rolled out some time ago that broke the USB drivers. I don't think that is the problem on your system though since you were using it without any problems basically just minutes before. I just thought I'd mention it anyway. You can find more information here).

Forgot to mention, this is a MacBookPro running Catalina, although I did try on a different MacBookPro running High Sierra.

I see, well I'm not a Mac user myself so I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to MacOS specific stuff. 

I would still suggest trying to start from scratch as much as possible, deleting the earlier versions and re-installing the full version.

The first thing I would do, unless you have already done so, is to simply restart the computer and see if that makes a difference.

(One more thing, you could try to go into the save game data of Freerider and see if perhaps something went wrong there. If the data somehow got messed up you might be able to get it working by deleting the old save data. The data is stored at: ~/Library/Preferences/Freerider (or something similar to that) )

2021-03-26:

The internal input system has been completely reworked in the latest update of Freerider and Freerider Recharged.

You can try that to see if it works better with your controller.

Yay! It works on my MacBookPro now! Thanks

Great, I'm glad to hear it's working now!
