I have already updated the Nvidia-Driver and reinstalled DirectX. I even got different versions of dinput8.dll and put them in the game-directory. But they are ignored. Both games KOF98 and KOF2002 are still crashing randomly. I don't even have to push a button. Yesterday KOF2002 worked pretty well. Today it's unusable again.

Is there a way to completly disable joysticksupport in the game? Then it would be possible to simply remap the keybord hits to any stick using a tool like JoyToKey.

Go to the Launch Options under Properties for the game in Steam and set "-norescan". If the problem persists, try disconnecting the controller before launching and then reconnecting it after (still with "-norescan") to see if that makes a difference. That information may give us something to go on.

That said, if the crash is in DirectInput, that's your game controller or keyboard driver, not your video driver.

I have played KOF2002 a view days now.

I did set the "-norescan" option the way you told me. Most of the time I disconnected the joystick before launching the game, and run JoyToKey. I did not have any more crashes. The same without JoyToKey. Running the game just with "-norescan" seems to work too.

The joystick is the pcb of a cheap usb-joypad, build into a 20 year old Neo Geo board. Worked very well for the last 8 years I did not installed any special drivers. Just Windows 7.
