Quoting: Spirimint

Quoting: SpirimintOh wow, with the new Version finally its working. But it has way less options as the steamoverlay. Will be hard to setup a game with not all of these options :whistle: I got so used to use one button for different actions and also using the action layers etc.

tl;dr I'm an SC-Controller fanboy. :woot:

SCC may have fewer options than Steam's client, or it may not. I don't honestly know, but I think SCC may have more. A lot of what you see in Steam's UI is available in SCC, but you might have to do it differently. In many ways, Steam's UI is to Kozec's SC-Controller as Windows is to Linux: the first (Steam's) is simpler but is less customizable, fewer granular choices, and the second (Kozec's) is way more choices, but isn't as dumbed-down.

For example, the Activators in Steam's UI (Regular, hold, start press, etc.) are easily done in SCC, but are set-up in either mode-shift or macros. Action sets are done just by making another profile, otherwise it's the same, it's just that SCC doesn't keep track of that in the UI.

But SCC lets me do so many things Steam's client can't. In Steam an input can only have one mode shift. In SCC I can add as many mode-shifts to a button as I want: Press 'A' and pull the trigger, one thing happens; press 'B' and pull the same trigger, something else happens. Mode-shift combinations on the SCC are exponentially greater than Steam's UI. That alone would be enough for me to count SCC the better of the two.

Rings on pads are more configurable, so that more than just buttons can be placed in the rings. I'll give you an example based on my own basic Payday 2 SCC profile. Normally the Rpad is a trackball mouse to control a camera. On top of this I add a mode-shift so that when I click the RPad it becomes a DPad where LEFT is reload, UP is change weapon, DOWN is drop weapon, RIGHT is flashlight, and center is grenade. All that is doable in Steam's client, but with SCC I've added more. To more easily interact with Payday's menus, I added a mode shift so when I press the back button the very edge of the Rpad becomes a circular trackpad mouse-wheel and the center becomes an Arrow Dpad.

Once again, an open source solution outshines a proprietary one.

Hey i start using the Programm and i agree is works really well, but what i don't find is "move cursor" could you tell me how i get this done in the Programm??

If you mean to move the cursor like a mouse does, this is how you set that up:


Hover your cursor over the words "not set" near the RPad symbol. The RPad will turn green on the controller when it's right.


On the next screen, choose "mouse" from the quick settings, as shown above.


Everything's ready, but you'll probably want to customize how the mouse moves. Click "More" to get the options drop down. Here you can adjust sensitivity, what the feedback feels like, etc.


When you're done, click "OK" in the upper-right corner. (Note: You may have to click "OK" in other windows that you opened too, before you get to the original GUI).


SC-Controller will show that the profile has "changed". You can test out your new settings and adjust them again if you like. When you're ready, click the "save" icon in the upper-right corner.

Hope this helps. Kozec has written a good user guide [External Link], check it out. Sc-controller can do amazing things! Feel free to PM me here if you have any more questions. :) And remember, if you can, send Kozek a couple bucks. ;)

I'm particularly looking forward to Death Trash and Valheim, especially Valheim. I had so much fun just playing the pre-alpha-demo thingie they released on itch.io.

I'm disappointed not to see Vulcanoids slated for release in the coming year, but I can sette well enough to know that it's still healthy and moving forward apace.

I'd love to use Wayland. I tried it a few years back and it was awesome, especially the way it expanded my laptop's trackpad functions. I've been looking forward to the day I could have Wayland and Nvidia living harmoniously together. (You watch, though. I'll have finally switched to an AMD GPU the week before it happens. Lol!)

I want something that's kept well up to date yet stable as hell. Up until recently, that was Ubuntu (Xubuntu, specifically), but with 20.04 I'd began having odd graphical and audio problems that I couldn't get to the bottom of.

I installed Pop at the end of last week and have been beavering away at making it more comfortable for me. Before I installed it, I spent some time with Manjaro and Mint, both XFCE (really, my favourite desktop) and even less time with Endeavour and KDE Neon. All had pluses and minuses, but Pop had a certain panache that really got to me --- surprising, really, given my preference for XFCE.

I like that Pop has kernel 5.8, and that Steam and Nvidia integration are solid. Best of all, though, Pop made it possible for me to install XFCE's superior clipboard manager, (clipman) and notes plug-in into my non-XFCE desktop. I actually left Ubuntu Mate behind because I couldn't live without zen-like clipman.

Retro FPS fans are in for a treat, I think. Though the game's action looks a little too retro for my tastes, there's no denying the care that's going into creating Vomitoreum. Basing the look of the game on Beksinski is inspired.

Wait! So ... wait. So I could install this, take Epric's free (Windows) games (and money from their grotesquely bloated coffers) and play them with --- why can't I play them with proton through Steam as a non-Steam game, the way I would with a GoG title?

I won't give Epic my money, but I'm not above taking theirs.

Quoting: Ethan Lee... reporting bugs to Apple when you're not rich is like pulling teeth with boxing gloves.

LOL! What a great simile!

I'm still enjoying my weekly Dying Light sessions with a friend of mine, but haven't played too many new titles this year. I've bought quite a few during the sales, just haven't started any of them ... except Dweller, which I'm playing now a fun, forgiving puzzler (so far). I expect to begin Borderlands 3 in the coming months, now that Proton can run it without too much fuss --- at last.

Cool. I almost bought this at the last Steam sale, so I'm glad I didn't now. Thanks for another free addition to my game library GoG! You've kept my Animosity Meter (pat. pending) from falling into Bitter Hatred and lifted it to Cool Loathing. Way to go!

I'd look around for other games if I didn't have to open a link for every single one to find out the genre and, more specifically, the release date.
