I upgraded from 8.79 to 8.87 and my Hotrod SE navigation went completely dead. Now GameEx 8.87 is crashing after it loads up. I didn't change any setting and I even did a semi-clean install, I uninstalled through windows but didn't manually delete the GameEx directory.

I've attached the log file.

GameEx is crashing processing DirectInput keyboard. I don't think this is related to the GameEx release exactly. Sounds like your HotRod might have an issue. Like gameEx is thinking no keyboard is connected. Are you using custom keyboard controls?

I was not using custom keyboard controls but I had "Enable Keyboard Direct Input" on like I always have. Turned it off now everything seems to work. Very Odd.
