Twhat games? we have steam input+hhd
AThat means bpm while out of bazzites steam os
ANot great at explaining things via text fyi
Hi dont get why you would use BPM in desktop mode when it is just a worse gamemode
AGas station simulator has problems with controller support
A@HikariKnight so once your rog ally X restarts do you exit the bazzite steam os at launch
Ai don't think hikari has an ally X
AOh
ASrry
TI do
Tnot home now
Hif you need BPM for the controller support just launch it from the gamemode menu (the steamdeck ui) its the same as BPM but way better and more functions
Tbut i never had controller issues outside of the pc port of psychonauts
TAnd that's not exclusive to bazzite
AYes srry that's what I was talking about if you use the steam bpm and not the gamemode menu it won't run well
Agames in desktop mode shouldn't require bpm to get controllers to work.
you might need to launch the game through steam, but not BPM
you might need to launch the game through steam, but not BPM
Ae.g. if you're running non-steam games, steam input won't work for them unless you launch them through the steam client
AThe dev for gas station simulator is working on controller support and the only work around is using bpm
HSome games have special modes for BPM/gamemode, its the same thing as the steamdeck detection with the
SteamDeckinteresting, didn't know that
Asounds like the dev needs to explicitly do that, right?
AIt's an option
ADon't believe go watch piratesoftware
ADude showed the world what devs see on steam
Abut ok, sorry. i didn't know that was a thing, I've encountered games that need to be launched via steam, never BPM only
Tthat's kind of funny tho if true
AIt's true
AAnd funny
Tvalve moment
Ai guess it might be that the dev prefers users not use a controller, but will add basic support in BPM and on Deck?
ABut yeah I've had to find alot of work around for games over the years do to both steam and windows
Tits funny that an option still exists exclusively for bpm
AWhen swiping food on the conveyor belt the left stick will sometimes unregister and go back to mouse movements
ARight stick
AWeird but it breaks the game
ASteam Os still has at the least a good 5 years before it will be the gold standard for OS gaming
AThere's bound to be issues
Areminds me a little bit about how, in some games in game mode, swiping the touchscreen causes the game's camera to get stuck rotating forever, only workaround is to restart the game.
Ain my opinion, steamOS is a solid console OS, not necessarily the best PC gaming OS
Abut on my PC handhelds and HTPC, what I want is a console OS, not a traditional OS
Tdesktop bazzite remains supreme
Ai mean, while I do think Linux has come a long way for PC gaming
Acertain things are still easier on Windows
Athat being said, I still won't use Windows lol
Athings like modding are more frictionless on Windows, though the situation is getting better on Linux
Aand Windows still has more 3rd party software support, such as lossless scaling framegen and AFMF
Mimo modding def depends on the game
Ayep, but I'm saying that overall, modding is still easier on Windows right now
Ae.g. i recently had to create a wine prefix + install dotnet via winetricks, etc, for to get a mod manager running for the recently updated FFIX MoguriMod
no typical everyday user will know how to do that
no typical everyday user will know how to do that
MYeah I think the only time I experienced modding pains on linux is San Andreas because it uses some random exe
