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

To help you, we need a game log. Please see the following images on how to get it.

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 defaultquickest-silverOP•3mo 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•3mo 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•3mo ago
In default one?
quickest-silverOP•3mo ago

rising-crimson•3mo ago
Yes, copy paste that default one to somewhere safe
Restore points 1 is actual save afaik
Then delete game in Heroic
quickest-silverOP•3mo ago

quickest-silverOP•3mo ago

rising-crimson•3mo ago
Yep
Nothing to change
quickest-silverOP•3mo ago
downloading and installing. Will take a few min. like 15 max i hope

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•3mo ago
Lol, that is new but it might be fixable.
quickest-silverOP•3mo ago
lemme make logs
rising-crimson•3mo 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
quickest-silverOP•3mo 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•3mo ago
🐸
Anyways, that is a secondary issue now.
Test input.
quickest-silverOP•3mo ago
it works with everything else but this game. I did a Dsicord call yesterday with no issues
quickest-silverOP•3mo ago
it does not recognise it as a speaker

quickest-silverOP•3mo ago

quickest-silverOP•3mo ago

rising-crimson•3mo ago

quickest-silverOP•3mo ago
🤦
rising-crimson•3mo ago
:rollsafe:
quickest-silverOP•3mo ago
so i copy all the files on top to the bottom folder?

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

rising-crimson•3mo ago
Copy user 1 dat stuff too then
You did copy entire restore point 1 folder right? As it is?
quickest-silverOP•3mo 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

Do you have an 8bit-do controller by any chance ?
