Aha, there's a USB Filter patch for KT266 mobos. I'll give that a try and see what happens.

Do you have all the latest VIA updates as in http://www.usbman.com/Guides/VIA%20Tips%20and%20Tricks.htm

Unfortunately I only have IWar2 at the moment, so I can't test it on other games. System info is:

Win98SE
Epox 8KHA motherboard
1.2GHz Athlon Thunderbird
512MB PC2100 DDR RAM
DirectX 8.0
VIA KT266 and VIA VT8233 chipsets

We've been unable to reproduce this problem. Does this only happen when playing Independence War 2, or does it happen in other games as well?

If you can, please provide us with more system information, including:

Windows version (95, 98se, Me, 2000, etc)
Motherboard (manufacturer & model)
CPU (model & speed)
DirectX version
USB chipset

I'm having the oddest problem with Independence War 2 and my Wingman Force 3D. It plays fine for a random length of time, then the joystick suddenly dies. Completely. The stick goes limp, there's no feedback, no response from it or the buttons, nothing. If I quit the game and look in my System settings, it shows up as an "Unknown Device" under my USB section. It's like the system forgets what it is. Once I reboot the system, the joystick lives again. I'm running the 4.11 drivers and the latest patch for the game. Can anyone help with this?
