I've been playing IL-2 1946 with various versions of BAT enabled for 3+ years on a modern rig.
I've changed nothing regarding my PC, Steam or the game's files since I initially set it up with BAT.
It's worked flawlessly up until 2 days ago when all of a sudden I get into a mission and the game is stuttering.
Despite all the mappings being correct and making no changes to my stick and trackir setup no inputs are being registered and the only thing that works is my trackir (on a 5 second delay).
I have no clue what could be causing this and I've tried everything. Nothing is wrong with my PC, nothing is wrong with my peripherals and nothing in the games files has been modified.
I ended up tearing it up from the studs, completely wiping the install, reinstalling it, reinstalling BAT, running in compatibility mode and disabling DEP.
Still Nothing.
I'm just at wits end because it was literally working just a while ago and now without changing anything it's just broken.
