Worked on the goatcorp/DalamudPluginsD17 repository to deliver DeviceChangeFix, a plugin focused on robust controller event handling and stability improvements for Windows environments. The solution integrated manifest-driven deployment and implemented WM_DEVICECHANGE message filtering, ensuring only relevant controller events were processed. Device-name filtering was added to target controllers specifically, and PlayStation controller detection was fixed to improve device-change reliability. The work involved API integration, device management, and plugin development using TOML for configuration. Comprehensive QA across Sony DualSense and Xbox controllers resulted in a crash-free testing period, leading to a stable 3.1.1 release that enhanced cross-controller compatibility and reliability.
