Joystick not working correctly since last update

Since the last Helium Rain update only 2 axis of my joystick work in Helium Rain anymore. The USB Gamecontroller device works perfecly. All axis work as intended. What I noticed: When I started the game, no axis was recognized at all. The "old" controller in Helium Rain was no more existing, but a new one with the same name but other number. Example: Instead of "Joystick 1 Axis 5" it became "Joystick 5 Axis 5". Any idea what I could do to solve the problem? Is there a config file it could edit or delete?

Hi ! Have you checked your axis bindings ? Try unbinding all axis and rebind them.

If that doesn't work, you should remove C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\HeliumRain\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Input.ini.

Thank you very much for your lightning fast reply! Helium Rain is such a great game.

I already unbinded all axes. Still no success. Then deleted Input.ini and rebinded again. Still no success: Only 2 axes (axis 5 for roll and axis 1 for thrust) are working, despite the USB device is working perfectly. All axes detected and working correctly there. Some more ideas maybe?

Wait, so you have a game controller plugged in, and a joystick ? Okay, that makes sense - try unplugging the controller, and I suspect the joystick issues will go away. We have never even tried that combination.

Sorry, maybe I was unclear: I didn't use a joystick and a controller simultaneously. If you press Windows-Key+r type "joy.cpl" and hit enter. You'll get the USB gamecontrollers. There my joystick worked perfectly with all axes. As I wrote before the only thing I noticed was that my joystick changed it's axes numbering in Helium Rain and then it stopped working correctly for all axes.

Only deleting C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\HeliumRain and rebinding didn't help.
But I eventually solved my problem by uninstalling Helium Rain completely (installation folder and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\HeliumRain) and rebinding the axes. It's working fine again now but I don't really know what exactly caused the issue. Nevertheless thank you very much for your fast responses and your effort helping me.
