Quoting: sn0rlaxThanks for SC Controller tip! This is by far the best site for Linux gaming news and tips. I pulled the trigger on CrossCode last weekend and was disappointed that I could not get my Steam Controller to work. I didn't want to resort to my Xbox 360 controller like some krill. Sweet!

No worries, it's why I'm here :D

Quoting: orochikyoI did post something related to this in another thread here, and now Feral is saying what we most of us already know: If updating software and drivers become easier, without the need of going to the terminal, adding a new repository and installing software from there, or waiting for a new version of the distro to be released, it would make Linux a much more friendly platform.
Not only compiling stuff is annoying but the fact that going to the terminal scares a lot of potential users who want to get away from Windows. Mayor linux distributions needs a driver update center away from synaptic or app manager, so driver devs can post there the lastest stable drivers and then the user will be asked if he wants to update...

I agree, fully. The annoying thing is I usually get ridiculed when people find out how little I know about the terminal. It's part of the old attitudes we have to break through, to get it into people's minds. You shouldn't have to learn terminal to be able to use Linux.

It's not as bad as it used to be, we have way more tools exposed via a decent UI than we did 2-3 years ago. The situation has slowly improved for sure, but this is certainly something that should be handled better.

Afraid he's camped out somewhere in the sticks at the moment.

Essentially, it's swiping your finger on the left or right pad in a shape you define yourself to perform various actions. So I set swiping up on the left pad, to emulate pressing number 1 on the keyboard.

If you have SC Controller on and you load up Steam, Steam detects it as a normal gamepad. You can then use SC Controller to make any adjustments as and when needed.

If you have Steam open first, SC Controller cannot be used as Steam takes over control of it.

Quoting: MGOidIt is broken for me. Installed it from their repo and nothing. Complains about errors in some files. Tried download the source and run it as told by their page, same thing. Dependencies are installed, obviously.

I did a fresh install of it today and it works great for me, be sure to report issues to the github and help make it better :)

Quoting: kit89Doesn't SC stand for Steam Controller?

Well, the application itself controls the Steam Controller, so technically it really is a Steam Controller...Controller :D

Quoting: LordpkappaIt's a shame, it's in my wish list, more testing for the Linux platform if you want to support it, it's not the first time.

Quoting: lejimsterI picked the game up recently on sale. I probably won't be playing it for a few weeks tho. I hope they have it fixed by then.

Quoting: GuestI would have bought the game during the last sale if that bug hadn’t been present. Hopefully for the christmas sale they’ll have fixed it…

According to what I read here, no-one of you will meet the problem:

Quoting: LukeNukemFor anyone who hasn't read the thread;

it apparently works fine! You just can't use the mouse if you continue from a saved game.

And how many are likely to finish it in one sitting? I won't recommend a game that currently breaks if you load a saved game, no one should.

The two parts of that sentence don't really work together ;)

Quoting: badmojooff topic but based on your intervention on White Noise 2 that was fixed after you put some attention here on the blog... could you post something about SNOW it's on early access but it has been broken since day one.

Well, that was as a result of me talking to them directly, but I will see what I can do.
