Hardware & Technical X52 woes... again and again

OfftheRails · Nov 18, 2015

Thankyou all for your help and advice. I'm glad this thread helped a couple of other people with similar problems.

I note that it's now tuesday evening and there's no new driver. I hate being right sometimes.

I tried about 10 times to get my x52 to work with no joy. Then Update Driver -> Browse my Computer -> Let me Pick. Picked the other driver for a regular USB device. And now it's working. Thx for the tip. I still do not blame Windows 10 update but Saitek for there lousy support of the X52.

I just found that new beta drivers are available on Saitek's FTP server (ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/Windows10).
They are in separate folders (/X52 and /X52PRO), and are dated 18/11/2015.

Unfortunately I won't have time to try them until Saturday at best.

Ninja'd.

They emailed me at lunchtime to say the new drivers were available. Cautiously impressed. Not going to be anywhere near first unto the breach with this one though.

Regular: ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/Windows10/X52/
Pro: ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/beta/Windows10/X52PRO/

Good luck everybody. I'll be thinking of you.

OK, i bit the bullet and... they installed without problems.
Everything seems to work correctly.

Regular X52. And a brilliant idea.

In Device Manager, it was coming up as X52 and failing every time. So I tried a different driver. Update Driver -> Browse my Computer -> Let me Pick. Picked the other driver for a regular USB device. And now it's working. Perfectly. Except I've lost my ED profile somewhere along the way. Whoops.

This worked instantly my hid lit up on my throttle, went you drivers application , and bam completed successfully.. Your a god send i was starting to get really p-oed next is the sst programing software

Thanks
