But when I try to get a reading
if (Win32GameInput is null) return;
Debug.WriteLine(Win32GameInput.GetCurrentTimestamp());
Win32GameInput.GetCurrentReading(GameInputKind.GameInputKindUnknown, null, out IGameInputReading reading);
Debug.WriteLine($"Reading: {reading}");
I get...
GameInput initialized!
