Player Key 1 not working resets loading of game now.

Hi All,

Running LIC LaunchBox12.1 on a 4 player cab using Ultimarc Ipak4 controller with a Win10 on a old Dell Xeon computer. 

After lots of fault finding am quite dumbfounded.  I went to use my machine and select a game in BigBox and to my surprise it didn't work using the player one button.  Player two button works fine quick shortcut for most games.

So after opening my WinIPAC (Ulitimarc Ipak4) all the buttons in the button checker seem to be working fine, except the player1 button (intermittent actuation/flicker).  I changed the micro, changed the wiring just in case still no good.

After attempting to change the key bindings 1to 3 and vice versa in WinIPAC program (re-assigned my keys), found that I could not change in LaunchBox or Bigbox.  What is interesting, Enter is being used on the keyboard (select)  and will work but 1 keyboard (player one button) is greyed out. 2,3,4 are all there and work in BigBox. The other problem now is tring to change anything in BigBox now allows key bindings to be cleared but no assigning allowed at all.

My Licence expired last year and wondering if this is a thing? How do I change the configuration of the buttons!  I only use this machine maybe 4-6 times a year and don't see buying a premium account should be warranted. 

Idea's

If you search "game controller" in Windows it should bring up a window that shows all of your USB connected controllers. Select the one that is for your board. In that menu there is a tester that lights up when buttons are pressed. I'd verify with that app that the PC in question is seeing the input correctly and on the button it should be firing. If you've verified that it works correctly in that window then I'd verify your controller settings in Big Box. Ensure that either "Use All Controllers" is on or that you have the correct device selected.

Sorry for not replying earlier.

C-Beats, yes went to game controllers this does not allow any logic in the way of testing with the game controller of the ultimarc hence why I guess they have the WinPAC program .  I did the old remove and install programs and this also did not help just incase their was any doubt.

Again after changing configurations in game and out, using WinPAC for Ultimarc, I found that it must be a problem with the Ultimarc IPAC4 board.

I reconfigured select game button from player 1 to player 3 and set the start game to the fire button for player 1, as (player1 seems it could not handle it, still flickers and does not register a hard press and hold).  Presto everything works.  Absolutely bizarre, does not fix the problem but for the time being it being my own personal device don't care anymore.  The weird thing was in the end is that player 1 button still will select the game but when the game boots & ready to hit the start button the player 1 if pressed reboots the game instead of starting it as it did in the beginning.  

Anyways thankyou for the support.
