360 Controller stopped working with Vindictus

Ok, so I have the Afterglow Xbox 360 controller and I run Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I have used this controller since day 1 of starting vindictus and it's never gave me any problems. Now when I try to play Vindictus it doesn't do anything using the controller. I have tried going into options and changing the setup and nothing has worked. I can still use all keyboard keys and everything else no problem.

I have tested the controller with 7 other programs (emulators, other MMO's, etc) and the controller works JUST FINE with every single program EXCEPT vindictus.

Did something change with the game files? Anyone else having an issue? Anyone that can offer suggestions I haven't thought of? I really love this controller and want to get it working again.

p.s. yes i've done a restart on the PC, on Vindictus, and checked the device manager and the drivers for the controller are there and updated. I've tried changing the control options in Vindictus and when I try to put an "input key" from the controller it doesn't pick it up and when I just select "Xbox controller" profile it doesn't work still.

UPDATE: strangely enough, if I go into the game without using an injector and running Danksole and God/OHK dlls then my controller works again. I just set it back up in the options and I am going to go back in with the hacks running and see if it works again... I'll edit this post with info.

SOLVED: I don't know how/why, but logging in without any hacks and setting the controller back up allows it to work again once you relog with the hacks... hope that helps anyone else that runs into this issue and looks for a solution.
