Can't edit settings for application because "focus" is lost

Post by travisthehuman »

Dug out my old SpaceNavigator. Works great with Rhino8, BambuStudio, and in all the training.

I'm trying to make my dream of playing a 6DOF game with a space mouse a reality. I installed SubLevel Zero. Started mapping axes. First axis works (pitch). None of the rest do. So I pulled up the 3DConnexion settings, and made my game window less than full screen.

With the game window active, I can look over and see that only the 4th axis is enabled. However, as soon as I try to alt-tab back to the advanced settings window, the game is obviously no longer the active window and the settings application changes to "Desktop".

Is there a way to just force global settings?

Surprsingly in my AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg directior, there are only 3 files: Explorer_Background, Global, and UserInfo. Shouldn't I see configurations for a bunch of other applications?
