Just got Silksong and disappointed it still have the controller bug where it will stop responding if you disconnect and reconnect the controller

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2025 - 16:50

Same thing happens with the original HK with Linux version, if you disconnect your controller in the middle of a game and reconnect then the controller is no longer being detected

I have tried with an Xbox one controller and an 8bitdo and the same happens

I got HK through steam and decided to buy Silksong through gog and the same happens on both. Windows version through proton works just fine

Anyway to disable all but one controllers when launching a game through Proton, or change the order of controller detection?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2025 - 15:58

So Sekiro has this really frustrating bug where it only recognizes the first controller it detects, and it uses that for input. I have multiple controllers connected to my rig, including a steering wheel, shifter, handbrake, and a hotas setup. That means that my Xbox controller cannot be used for Sekiro while all those other stuff are connected. Having to squeeze behind my desk to unplug all the other peripherals before and after I play Sekiro is not something I am ready to do. So I need a workaround.

There are 2 potential ways that I can think of:

  1. Some script that can disable the other controllers when I launch the game. Maybe a proton argument.
  2. Something that can change the detection order of controllers, maybe system wide, or maybe only for proton.

Does anyone have any leads on whether any of this can be achieved? Or perhaps another workaround?

System Info:
Nobara, Sekiro through Steam, Flydigi Vader 4 Pro controller (via xinput, recognized as xbox controller).

How does a VM + GPU pass-through works in practice?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2025 - 15:42

I'm new on the platform and I'm loving Linux as a desktop, it's much better than Windows, sometimes though you need windows for some games. I was looking into GPU pass-through (I already have a VM running but without any pass-through) but I'm not sure how does it work in practice. I don't want to go through all the trouble of installing it only to find out that it doesn't work as I expected.

1) Do I need to reboot or log-off before launching it or can I launch the VM normally?

2) Can I still fully utilize my main GPU for playing games in Linux even after the pass-through?

3) Do I need to have the monitor connected to my iGPU (I only have one monitor)?

Basically what I'like to know is if it works seamlessly like a normal VM does. And if it doesn't, what are the differences.

Pop! o Garuda?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2025 - 14:33

Hola a todos. Hace poco más de un mes pasé a Linux y opté por Pop! ya que escuché que era mejor en lo que respecta a juegos y tenía mejor optimización con la tarjeta Nvidia.

Al no saber mucho de comandos y tal, Pop! me resultó un dolor de cabeza las primeras semanas (problemas con audio, gráficos, no reconocía mandos)

Actualmente he escuchado cosas buenas de KDE, pero realmente no entiendo mucho, pero me llamó la atención Garuda, ya que leí que es bastante bueno en lo que respecta a juegos.

¿Alguien puede compartirme su opinión al respecto para decidir si mantenerme en Pop! o cambiar a Garuda?

Tengo un Acer Nitro 5 con tarjeta Nvidia 3050 TI. Intel i5 - 11400k si no me equivoco. 24 Gb de RAM.

Free short indie game with a native Linux build: Consumption Line

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2025 - 14:06

I just released a small experimental indie game called Consumption Line. It's 100% free on Steam (no ads, no mtx), takes about 30 minutes to play, and it runs natively on Linux.

I use Linux as my daily driver (I use Arch btw), so having a native build was important to me. I know Proton has made compatibility great for most titles, but I still wanted to make sure Linux users could run this without any layers in between.

The game itself is about food systems, efficiency, deceptive advertising and capitalism. You work on a soup factory production line where quotas rise and the ingredients get stranger each day.

My controller is not being recognized by Steam

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 04. September 2025 - 13:39

Hi everyone,

I cannot get my controller to work with Steam and it just says "No controllers detected". I am using a wireless controller that I am connecting via a wireless adapter. I am on Linux Mint 22.1 and I have installed Steam from either the official website or the Linux Mint repository. The inputs of the controller work perfectly when I use an online gamepad tester and the controller is called "057e-2009-Canyon controller GPW3". For some reason, when I run lsusb it detects it as this:

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 057e:2009 Nintendo Co., Ltd Switch Pro Controller

In Steam settings, I have enabled Steam input for Xbox, Switch Pro and generic controllers as well as support for Playstation controllers.

Any help is appreciated.

Anyone used an 8bitdo controller on Ubuntu for Steam? How was the compatibility?

I'm looking to purchase a new controller soon. But I want to be able to play on Ubuntu!
