Everything I think is necessary should be included. I have no problems launching New Horizons, so I can't say. Does it crash just before the main menu? What do the system.log and compile.log say and error.log? You can send the log files and .dmp file and I can try to determine the problem: chezjfrey@hotmail.com
This is good information. I did add a mechanism to detect XBOX controllers and the engine will support them (I am still waiting on a tester to help figure a good default mapping for the ERAS mod, so it's not fully implemented yet). It works for XBOX controllers, but with your problem, it must somehow go wrong in the cases of certain other controllers that are not compatible, but the detection maybe has a flaw for those cases like your steering wheel. I will try other controllers I have to see if I can reproduce this problem and eliminate the crash if it is not an XBOX type.
