Hello,
No idea why this is happening, as apparently no one else is having this issue, but my PS5 controller does not work with linux. I did a clean install of Mint today, and on my old install it was working great. Now, Steam recognizes the controller, testing the inputs shows everything works, and Linux recognizes the controller is connected with the USB, but it is not registering with any game. None of the inputs work, and even more annoyingly pressing the PS button immediately launches steam big picture mode, which I do not want.
I’ve been trying for hours to fix this and everyone else is saying it works great out of the box, but that is the opposite of the case for me. Any advice?
So you went to the game, clicked on the gamepad icon on the bottom right of the game banner and selected enable steam input? Then selected a controller layout? I think its a little strange steam makes you do this per game as well as its general desktop setting.
Also did you try from a live usb environment? That was good advice as it could be something you/mimt installed after setup. Also you did do a checksum of your ISO before you burnt your install medium?
And there is no strange errors when starting steam from a terminal and running your game?
And you tried the steam beta?
If you have done all that might consider filing a bug report on steam.
Sometimes its worth waiting a few days for an update, might sort itself out.
What do you mean checksum of the iso? The tool I used said the usb was successfully flashed.
How would I go about testing this in USB Live mode?
Disregard I figured out how to use checksum. The ISO is fine the hashes match
