Silksong RT seems to not function well
Hi,
I am playing Silksong (the GOG version) through Heroic launcher.
The Sprint function (RT on controller) Seems to toggle instead of just using "hold" to trigger. On KB the function does not work at all. no matter the keybinding.
I tried to just run GOG galaxy just on linux but wine did not want to work with it.
I had people tell me they solved it by "running it through proton" but i am not sure if they were using Heroic.
Some data:
Heroic Launcher 2.18.1 (used the Appimage version that just is run as an Executable)
Silksong verison: 1.0.28324
Ubuntu Version: 24.04.3 LTS
If anything else is needed pls let me know!

Afterwards click install again but before proceeding change build from Linux to Windows

Noice
It says "native? True" so it is Linux build of the game.
$HOME/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong/AppConfig.ini
and changingNativeInput=1
to NativeInput=0
Try this
Open your file browser
Press Ctrl+H
It would show folders starts with dot
They are hidden by defaultcorrect-apricotOP•3d ago
Did this, restarted heroic and it changed it but didn't solved it?
Now it sometimes works as intended but also sometimes still has the same issue. It is now maybe 50/50?
rising-crimson•3d ago
Hmm, so Windows build is one you should use.
In same directory you just gone in you see save files too right?

rising-crimson•3d ago
In default one?
correct-apricotOP•3d ago

rising-crimson•3d ago
Yes, copy paste that default one to somewhere safe
Restore points 1 is actual save afaik
Then delete game in Heroic
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
I copied default folder to Desktop

correct-apricotOP•3d ago

rising-crimson•3d ago
Yep
Nothing to change
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
downloading and installing. Will take a few min. like 15 max i hope
rising-crimson•3d ago
Smol game benefits.
Install, run the game once. Create a save.
Then head to path that shown in your screenshot above as Wine Prefix
In in go to drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong
And copy paste your old saves to there, with paying attention to folder structure
After that open game again and see if your previous save shows up after doing these.

installed the Win version. New issue: No sound
rising-crimson•3d ago
Lol, that is new but it might be fixable.
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
lemme make logs
rising-crimson•3d ago
Considering it works for other folks.

There isnt a single sound related thing in this log. Does game itself have some sound device select in settings?
If yes, fiddle with it
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
Crap, I use a Audio interface and that might be the issue. If i run i through my crappy display speakers it works
rising-crimson•3d ago
🐸
Anyways, that is a secondary issue now.
Test input.
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
it works with everything else but this game. I did a Dsicord call yesterday with no issues
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
it does not recognise it as a speaker

correct-apricotOP•3d ago

correct-apricotOP•3d ago

rising-crimson•3d ago

rising-crimson•3d ago
That is your username
You are already in dries
Just go into Games
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
🤦
rising-crimson•3d ago
:rollsafe:
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
so i copy all the files on top to the bottom folder?

correct-apricotOP•3d ago
Like Shared.dat will be the same file?
do i replace it?
rising-crimson•3d ago
Nope, just restore points one should do
I think
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
save file isnt there\

rising-crimson•3d ago
Copy user 1 dat stuff too then
You did copy entire restore point 1 folder right? As it is?
correct-apricotOP•3d ago
yes just ctrl+c and ctrl+v it
@"Leopard" Input issue seems to be solved. Sound is not obvs. I could work around this by attaching my speakers directly to my screen. But not my preffered option
