External Controller Bug?

Hello, For some reason, every time I first boot into Bazzite, my bluetooth controllers will connect to the system just fine, but ONLY work with the HHD overlay. Using any of the buttons on the controller don't do anything, unless I open the HHD overlay and the HHD overlay reads the controller inputs just fine, but not Steam Game Mode. Turning the controllers off, then back on, will see the controllers working as intended in HHD AND Steam. Is this a bug that can be fixed? It's very frustrating.

Oh maybe that's when you open the overlay The external controller malfunctions Can you try the hhd beta and see if it's better?

@antheas Is there a way to move to the beta beyond the "use beta until reboot" function? Once I enable that, I have to reboot to get the controller to do what it's doing again.

@antheas apologies - it's been a busy weekend! No, it did not work when using the "use beta until restart". I am happy to be a tester though I also need to know how to permanently go to the beta branch!

Understood! Let me know when it's live and I am happy to test any features for you - I use an external controller quite often.
