Custom mouse buttons not recognized

[BOgre]

Having trouble getting my custom mouse buttons to apply in-game. The buttons are setup fine in the control panel, they work in other programs, but they do nothing in DDO. It's a (crappy old) Logitech MX Revolution.

I hate asking this, but when was the last time you blasted (aka deleted) your old keybind file and re created it?

I ask because unless you are good about hacking that thing apart, it could be that which is your problem. Their saving of the file doesn't always work.

If your file is years old like mine, I'd strongly suggest you blast and re create as sucky as that is. So much has gotten added and probably has not been properly setup and could be causing issues.

I'm also using an older mx revolution. Ddo doesn't recognize most of the buttons. I had to use the setpoint software's advanced settings, set up application specific button settings for ddo. The application that you need to set it up for is called dndclient.exe. It should be in the main dungeons and dragons folder. I then set up most of the keys as keyboard keys that I don't normally use, like the numpad keys / * - +. They can be used in combination with modifier keyes like alt and ctrl for a whole slew of shortcuts that you can use without taking your fingers off wasd.

Note: When running ddo for the first time after an update, I have to close and reopen the ddo client for my hotkeys to work.

I already have the setpoint control panel all set up, including the app-specific section. As I'd said, the extra buttons work as I've set them in all other software I've tried. Just not in DDO.

As for wiping ddo.keymap, just tried that, didn't help.

Thanks for the suggestions folks, but no joy.

Are you sure you set it for the application dndclient.exe?

Does ddo try to install stuff each time you run it? I had that problem a while back, and as I said, every time ddo updates, the hotkeys don't work that time. I had to reinstall ddo to fix it.

yes to dndclient.exe.

also yes to it tries to install c++ every time. I've tried all the fixes for that listed here, including installing the redists manually, but it still does that. Haven't tried re-installing ddo from scratch... long download Guess I'll try that next. Thanks.
