I’m sure Cherry is going to be working rapidly on numerous bug fixes over the next month.
Despite that, the game has been extremely stable for me so far. I currently have about 8 hours of playtime, and this controller thing has been pretty much the only bug/issue that I've encountered.
Yes, but OP makes it sound like the Hollow Knight issue is not fixed either. I didn't even know HK had rumble, but I def felt the Silksong haptics when I played it at Gamescom. I wonder how we can make Team Cherry aware of this, or whether they are already aware?
I never had an issue on hollow knight. Both on PC Linux and steamdeck. Might be an older issue?
I'm not sure what the exact replication bounds are for the bug; maybe your configuration simply doesn't experience the issue? Or perhaps you inadvertently configured Steam to force proton somewhere?
Actually, I remembered that on PC at least (arch btw) it wouldn’t even launch natively, so I forced proton.
For reference, the source that I cited was a report from last month ^[1]^. Also, I personally verified that, in Hollow Knight, controller rumble worked with Proton enabled, and didn't work with it disabled.
