SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_GIP_RESET_FOR_METADATA

A variable controlling whether the new HIDAPI driver for wired Xbox One (GIP) controllers should reset the controller if it can't get the metadata from the controller.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_GIP_RESET_FOR_METADATA "SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_GIP_RESET_FOR_METADATA"

Remarks

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Assume this is a generic controller.
• "1": Reset the controller to get metadata.

By default the controller is reset. This is so we can properly detect the controller type.

This hint should be set before initializing joysticks and gamepads.

Version

This hint is available since SDL 3.4.0.
