I am trying to get Outer Wilds running on my Debian machine, and the “running” itself was a breeze. It runs perfectly on Lutris. But somehow my controller doesn’t communicate with the game. I did check if it is being picked up at all, and using the jstest-gtk tool, I could see that every input is being registered. Same applies to steam, Even in Big Picture mode nothing happens on screen when tapping all the buttons or moving some joystick.
Does someone know how I could go about fixing this issue? At first I thought that this would be a wine thing, but steam is native, and even it doesn’t recognize the controller…
Just to double check, go to gamepad-tester.com in your web browser. if it detects it, the problem is the game or wine. if it doesn’t, the problem is that you don’t have the proper kernel modules for your gamepad.The generic one is called joydev.
