Nascar and GUS PnP - any joystick problems?

So has Gravis fixed the buggy joystick port with new GUS PnP? I've had similar problems with NASCAR and ICR2 as described below.

Kinda makes me wonder if >Gravis has fixed this with there latest pnp GUS. :Sorry, I was unable to find a fix for this. : :I have come to the conculsion it's a hardware bug on the GUS. Its dependant :on the mother board you have, since not eveyone has this problem. : :It seems certian games manage to trip over this bug, while others don't. It's :either in the way the sound drivers are writen, or in the way the joystick :routines are writen. In an email to me, Gravis said that they are aware of :this problem, but could offer no solution. : :I'd also like to remind those people that replied to my origional post this :occurs on more games than just Doom. Even if I upgrade Doom to 1.9, it :still doesn't solve the same problem in the other games I mentioned. : :I did run Tie Fighter on my system. It's the floppy version which uses a :custom version of megaem. I didn't find any joystick problems with it, and :I tried 3 different kinds of analog joystick. :PS. :I was also thinking of getting a GUS pnp. If I do get it, I'd buy if from :a store with a good return policy. There would be no point upgrading to :another buggy sound card **** Koskitie 33 B 13 * **** **** 90500 OULU * Puh. 981-5542 083 ****
