BigBox- Unable to map button 1 of my controller to Select function

[rafster]

Hi  there, 

I've just paid up for BigBox and have a controller mapping issue.  Can anyone offer any advice on the following, please?

I've installed two instances of BigBox, one on my laptop and one on my desktop.  Bigbox on the laptop works fine and as expected.

The issue I'm having with BigBox on my desktop is this, within the Controller Mappings option screen I'm unable to map button A from either of my two controllers (both Bluetooth Ipegas) as a Select function.   When I hit return on my keyboard to map the Select function the Awaiting Controller Input message appears then when I hit A (button 1) on my controller it just returns to the mapping screen with {None} showing next to the Select function.  Actually button A (button 1) on my controller is acting as a back button despite the back button already being successfully mapped to button B (button 2) on my controller.

The strange thing is I can successfully map the A button on my controller with LaunchBox on my desktop and it comes up as button 2 as I'd expect, just can't seem to get BigBox to recognise it for some reason.  As I said previously, no such issue with my laptop's running instance of BigBox which works fine.  

I hope what I've written make sense, if not please ask me to clarify.  Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated...

might have to do with the mode that you paired you ipega with.

Hmmm, OK, but all the other buttons are recognised correctly except for just button 1, also button 1 is recognised fine in the LaunchBox controller mappping screen.

I'm paired in the exact same mode on my laptop and button 1 is recognised fine in BigBox.  Very strange this as it was working fine at the beginning then the issue came up.

I've  Just tried reinstalling BigBox but same thing is happening.

try unpairing and repairing your controller.

Thanks DOS76, I tried that but that didn't solve the issue.   I don't know what's going on with BigBox right now on this particualr PC.

Works beautifully on my laptop though...

Dos76, just to confirm what do you mean by repairing controller?  Just by repairing it?  Or is there an extra step for fixing the controller?  

I really dont know why BigBox can't map my button 1 when it's recognised just fine within LaunchBox's  controller mapping screen.

Is Steam running on your desktop or laptop?  Have you looked for other software or other differences on your desktop computer that could be causing conflicts?  I'm not familiar with that specific controller, but I have seen issues where buttons are swapped when using a Dinput device with BigBox instead of Xinput.

Thanks for that.  Yeah, I'll need to do a little more troubleshooting when I get some time to do so.  It was working but then seemed to suddennly go pear shaped for some reason.   As it was working previously, albeit briefly, I do hold out hope it'll work again.  Tried reinstalling LaunchBox but that didn't fix it.  Will investigate further.
