Any force feedback?

Steam controller support isn't even that good on Steam OS. Why can't they fix that first then fix PS4 support later?

Sorry but I doubt it will come to linux at all. Watch the developers will change their minds like lot of games that were supposedly coming to linux.

Quoting: numasanI had the issue with my PS3 controller after I updated to Linux 4.12, and it was because of how the driver was refactored in the kernel (afaik the motion part was seperated to its own input device, among other things, getting the same treatment as the DS4 got in an earlier kernel). I have had issues using my DS4 in Steam games before, but I always been happy to use my PS3 controller instead, with it just working out-of-the-box and recognized as a Playstation controller in games, rumble and all. I have downgraded to kernel 4.11 so I can play with a controller.

It is nice to see it potentially getting fixed, and I'll have to try it for my self later. One thing I really hope though, is that the PS3/DS4 controller is used natively in games, and not mapped to "emulate" a Steam or Xbox controller...

Yep the same thing for me with Saints Row IV. I recently added a Shield Controller as a second gamepad and the game stopped recognizing my Steam controller. How many days will we have to deal with broken gamepad support? Its sad to see Steam OS having a lot of major issues as a modern operating system. _m_

Wait so force feedback works in Ubuntu and with any game? Valve ships the Steam controller advertising haptic feedback. I thought linux didn't support rumble because it's not enabled on Steam OS? It's a little weird that they built steam OS off of Debain because it's incomplete.

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyDid I miss something?

I've been using a DUALSHOCK4 with Steam (and GOG.com!) for years (since not too long after the Sony PlayStation 4 came out)... And it works perfectly with most games (even the force-feedback/vibration)(I could count on one hand the games which don't work or don't work properly)!

I don't even need to do anything special - just pair it with my computers (I've used it on different computers over the years) via bluetooth.

What exactly is it with DUALSHOCK4 game pads that supposedly doesn't work?

My memory is a little hazy on it, but I believe in recent Kernels the way DS4 were handled was changed, causing breakages.

You must be using Windows because force feedback doesn't work on Steam OS. I doesn't work with the steam controller, so how can it work with the DUALSHOCK 4?

What are you guys mad about? The Article is right on the money and Steam OS is dead. From what I can see Valve is no longer interested in Steam OS.

Valve doesn't care about steam os. Can anyone tell me what they are doing for steam os? It still needs a lot of work
