Sam Lantinga a21a227a 2016-10-04T03:50:28 Fixed bug 3021 - HapticOpenFromJoystick() problems Joe Thompson With Direct Input device (MOMO Steering Wheel w/FF) with SDL 2.0.3, SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick() would fail. (Can't set exclusive mode) Now with 2.0.4 rc1, SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick() succeeds but the the returned SDL_Haptic* cannot be used. Calls to SDL_HapticNewEffect() fail with "Haptic error Unable to create effect" If SDL_HapticOpen() is used instead of HapticOpenFromJoystick(), the device is usable. Calls to HapticNewEffect() succeed with the exact same parameters as the previous failing call. I have attached a proposed patch for this issue. When using SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick(), the original code did not (re)enumerate the axes. This returned a new haptic device with 0 axes. Later, when a new effect is created, SDL_SYS_SetDirection() would set the flags to include DIEFF_SPHERICAL, regardless of what the caller actually set. (see Line 566 in SDL_dinputhaptic.c). This would cause the SDL_HapticNewEffect() to fail (or interpret the coordinates incorreclty.) The patch moves the call to IDirectInputDevice8_EnumObjects() outside of the if() block so that the axes are (re)enumerated for the new haptic device. Note: For steering wheels it is common for the joystick to have multiple axes (ie steering, throttle, brake), but the haptic portion of the joystick usually only applies to steering.

Philipp Wiesemann 0e45984f 2015-06-21T17:33:46 Fixed crash if initialization of EGL failed but was tried again later. The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
