3dConnexion Drivers 10.4.5+ not working in LightWave

[lardbros]

Hi there,

I use LightWave and a 3dConnexion device (multiple ones too) and currently, any driver above version 10.4.4 doesn't seem to work correctly in LightWave modeller or layout.

I've been in touch with LightWave's support and they think 3dConnexion drivers are the issue, but I'm waiting for some info from 3dConnexion as I have a call raised with them too.
Hopefully between them we can sort the issue?

The problem I have, specifically, is that the 3d device will ONLY work when a properties panel is open in LightWave. If the main UI is highlighted, it won't work. Weird eh?
Anyway, older drivers v10.4.4 works fine.

I have the issue on my Win 10 64-bit and Win 7 64-bit, both with very different devices, so it must be a problem with LightWave or the drivers, as opposed to something I have installed interfering.
The devices I have issues with are: Space Pilot (win 7) Space Navigator (win 10) and Space Mouse Pro (win 10).
I hope something can be sorted quickly as I also use 3dsMax 2017, and 10.4.4 doesn't work in 3dsMax.

Thanks,
Tim
