Start job wont start job - Gsender 1.5.4

I was using an x-box one controller with all same previous controller button setup. I decided to change the button configuration some when I installed 1.5.4 going from 1.5.3 on a windows 11 laptop. The button I chose ( A ) to ā€œstart jobā€ wouldn’t start the job. I knew the button works, as I was using it to select ā€œpreciseā€ jog before. So I chose a different button to ā€œstart jobā€ . Then that button wouldn’t start job. So I chose a different button (that was previously worked), that button would not ā€œstart jobā€ either. Confused, I mouse clicked ā€œstartā€. The job started, and with the controller I could ā€œpauseā€ the job. but could not continue the job by pressing the button which i had set as the ā€œstart jobā€ button. so then I removed all other button actions except ( A ) for starting job, nothing. Chose a different button, nothing. Gsender 1.5.4 would not start a job with any controller button that I would bind it to. I could mouse click ā€œstartā€ on the screen, and the job would start. I reverted back to 1.5.3. I’m just posting this because I thought someone else might have the same issue.

I can confirm this is a bug in v1.5.4. I’ve added it to our backlog, it should be fixed in one of the next patch updates we release :slight_smile:

I just updated to version 1.5.5 I am still having the problem of no ( Bluetooth connected x-box) controller button (any button I bind as ā€œStart job ā€œ button) being able to ā€œstart jobā€ . I am able to mouse click ā€œstartā€ on Gsender, and the job will start. Also , if I ā€œstartā€ by mouse click, I can pause job (with the controller) then continue the job with my ā€œstart jobā€ button on the controller. Just in case anyone is still looking into this for the next patch.

So, I tried Gsender version 1.5.6, and it does the same thing (at least for me) as 1.5.5. I can’t initially ā€œstart jobā€ from Xbox controller, but I can mouse click ā€œstart jobā€, it will start then ā€œpauseā€ with the controller, then resume the job with the controller. so, for me anyway, versions 1.5.4- 1.5.6 all do the same thing. Version 1.5.3 will allow starting from the controller. I had started wondering if something may be going on with the Xbox controller, that (somehow) version 1.5.3 was not having a problem with. (just documenting here) So far, I have ….

updated windows 11, restarted Gsender and windows several times, removed/disconnected the controller from Bluetooth, deleted the controlled profile, reconnected the controller via Bluetooth , set up a new profile with the controller, tested all the buttons that I’m using,

Hey Dmaden,

I have no joypad or update my gsender anymore so have no direct hand on knowledge but I’ve read a lot of problems with updating being solved deleting/renaming this file talked about here, and reinstall.

Maybe try this going foreward to the latest version or downgrade to the version that worked for you?
