has anyone got their ps5 controller working with games?
is it possible to use my ps5 controller in games? like running them with steam input or something
my controller works in the heroic menu just so you know

not all games come with PS controller support. you can piggyback off of Steam input by adding your games as shortcuts to Steam and then run the shortcut through there.

this doesn't work for me
xenial-black•17mo ago
This needs more info then, including game logs and how you added the games to Steam #:pushpin: Read Me First | Frequently Asked Questions

"name": "Proton - Proton - Experimental",Don’t use Proton. Use Wine-GE-latest. Backup your saves and delete the prefix
equal-aquaOP•17mo ago
i couldn't find anything called wine-ge-latest but i downloaded lutris-ge-proton8-25 i would assume that's what you meant, if it's not please give me the download link.
it worked until i changed my graphics settings now it keeps crashing

You’d download it in the Wine Manager in Heroic. However, latest is 8-25 at this time, so you’re fine where you are
Given that you’re in a flatpak with Nvidia, we will need to verify that your system’s Nvidia driver version is the same as the flatpak runtime
And possibly enable DXVK-NVAPI in Heroic’s settings
flatpak list | grep nvidia
Plus look what version of the driver package you have in the main PC packages
Mint does add a layer of complication to this because Debian packages in general can lag behindequal-aquaOP•17mo ago

do you know what main pc packages is called on mint?
xenial-black•17mo ago
The command uses
apt but I cannot recall the syntax off hand
apt-cache policy nvidia maybeequal-aquaOP•17mo ago
nvidia:

Candidate: (none)

apt list nvidia ?

Listing... Done
Version 535.154.05-0ubuntu.0.22.04.1? is that the thing we're looking for?
xenial-black•17mo ago
Yep. That’s a version mismatch with your flatpak runtime. 535.154.05 on your system but 535.146.02 on flatpak
flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.nvidia-535-154-05 org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-154-05equal-aquaOP•17mo ago
what now?
optimistic-gold•17mo ago
Run the game
equal-aquaOP•17mo ago
it keeps closing when i open it
equal-aquaOP•17mo ago
optimistic-gold•17mo ago
That's the vkd3d-proton test suite, not a game?
What are you doing 💀
equal-aquaOP•17mo ago
launching gta from heroic launcher?
optimistic-gold•17mo ago
Also PS5 controller works perfectly, better than windows (just the button prompts are wrong)
Do you have an exe override
Wait I opened the wrong file, what am I doing 💀
Looks like some Nvidia driver skill issue
equal-aquaOP•17mo ago
i just restarted my pc and it fixed the issue my controller is working too, thank you.
do you guys know how to get steam overlay working? if not that's fine
conscious-sapphire•17mo ago
You should start another post for this so that people can search for and find the topic if they have the same problem.

whats wrong w proton in this regard?
xenial-black•17mo ago
The short answer is that Proton is not intended to be run outside of Steam. Behavior is inconsistent or unstable. Proton provides uninformative logs for debugging

might fix my problem then, I also have an issue w my ps5 controller when launching GTA V through Heroic Games Launcher
this occurs both when launching heroic/GTA on steam and without using steam
for me, only the scrollpad thingy on the centre of the controller works. buttons don't work
when I launch it on steam even enabling steam input doesn't do anything
xenial-black•17mo ago
It fixed OP’s main issue

yeah switching to wine made my controller work
absent-sapphire•17mo ago
thats so stupid
lemme try it rn then
wow it actually works :KEK:
xenial-black•17mo ago
Might be why I suggested it at the top
optimistic-gold•17mo ago
proton uses hid and expects game to support dualsense in its code
but wine uses sdl makes the games think that's in an xbox controller/xinput compatible controller so therefore it works
absent-sapphire•17mo ago
i just didnt expect it to be such a trivial fix, thought i had to manually mess w drivers and stuff
optimistic-gold•17mo ago
proton uses hid because of steaminput and stuff like that
wine 9.1 switched to hid upstream, so I guess they fixed some things
