games in desktop mode shouldn't require bpm to get controllers to work.
you might need to launch the game through steam, but not BPM

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:04 PM

e.g. if you're running non-steam games, steam input won't work for them unless you launch them through the steam client

The dev for gas station simulator is working on controller support and the only work around is using bpm

Some games have special modes for BPM/gamemode, its the same thing as the steamdeck detection with the

SteamDeck

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:05 PM

interesting, didn't know that

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:05 PM

sounds like the dev needs to explicitly do that, right?

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:05 PM

It's an option

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:06 PM

Don't believe go watch piratesoftware

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:06 PM

Dude showed the world what devs see on steam

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:06 PM

but ok, sorry. i didn't know that was a thing, I've encountered games that need to be launched via steam, never BPM only

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/15/24, 8:06 PM

that's kind of funny tho if true

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:07 PM

It's true

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:07 PM

And funny

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/15/24, 8:07 PM

valve moment

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:07 PM

i guess it might be that the dev prefers users not use a controller, but will add basic support in BPM and on Deck?

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:07 PM

But yeah I've had to find alot of work around for games over the years do to both steam and windows

When swiping food on the conveyor belt the left stick will sometimes unregister and go back to mouse movements

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:08 PM

Right stick

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:08 PM

Weird but it breaks the game

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:09 PM

Steam Os still has at the least a good 5 years before it will be the gold standard for OS gaming

AKWildRide/ROG ALLY X•8/15/24, 8:10 PM

There's bound to be issues

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:10 PM

reminds 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.

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:11 PM

in my opinion, steamOS is a solid console OS, not necessarily the best PC gaming OS

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:11 PM

but on my PC handhelds and HTPC, what I want is a console OS, not a traditional OS

tryhardsoccermomswag•8/15/24, 8:12 PM

desktop bazzite remains supreme

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:12 PM

i mean, while I do think Linux has come a long way for PC gaming

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:12 PM

certain things are still easier on Windows

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:12 PM

that being said, I still won't use Windows lol

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:12 PM

things like modding are more frictionless on Windows, though the situation is getting better on Linux

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:13 PM

and Windows still has more 3rd party software support, such as lossless scaling framegen and AFMF

Max•8/15/24, 8:13 PM

imo modding def depends on the game

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:13 PM

yep, but I'm saying that overall, modding is still easier on Windows right now

AruOP•8/15/24, 8:14 PM

e.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
