I don't know if it's already possible, but it would be cool if games could indicate which theme they would like (with a user-toggle, of course). The "pumpkin" theme would probably go quite well with Deus Ex: HR for example. Fully game-themeable is another option, but that's probably overkill.

Wait, "The Witcher"? That game is 15 years old! :grin:

Quoting: TermyI really loved this back in the day...and judging by the screenshots it aged way better than other games of that aera ^^

Quoting: CybolicWorth noting is that it's "free" if you're subscribed to "EA Play" on Steam.

But you still need origin for that, right? Or does that work seamless with proton nowadays?

I just tried it and it downloaded and launched directly into the game; didn't notice any Origin process starting.

Ha! The "Digital" keyboard even has a flicker effect! :grin:
I'm just playing around with the interface on my desktop PC, but I can imagine this looking really good on the real device.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleSeems to be here, but with Experimental bleeding-edge it does not seem to load Steam Input and the Overlay and my controller is not recognised.

I've heard as much for Experimental, but controller support seems pretty solid (for me) on GE. At least my dualsense (PS5) controller works perfectly.

Which GE version are you running? I have a PS5 DualSense as well and so far it has failed to work at all with Experimental beta, Experimental, 7.0-1, 7-5-GE and 7.3-GE-1.

It's been a few days, but it was GE-Proton-7.3 (NOT Proton-GE) at the time I think. 7.4 is out now. But you have activate the controller in Steam/Settings/Controllers/Profiles before it's recognised.

Hmm, I just tried with GE-Proton-7.3 and got the same result. I'm not sure what you mean by `Steam/Settings/Controllers/Profiles`? I don't have `Profiles` under the main Steam settings nor in BPM. I have tried selecting a custom mapping for the game, and togging forcing Steam Input on/off but neither did anything.
I should mention that the controller is working beautifully in BPM and Horizon Zero Dawn.

EDIT: Also, I'm trying it out on Pop!_OS, just like you. Very weird stuff.
EDIT 2: I just tried the Windows trick of disconnecting everything but the controller and launching from BPM, still no-go.

Go to Steam/Settings, click Controller, then Desktop Configuration, then at the bottom of the new window, click "Browse Configs", go to "Templates" and choose "Gamepad".

Thanks :) I didn't get to try your fix because I found out that if I rebind the controller buttons to the matching keyboard keys, it works. It's very odd, but Elden Ring apparently reads all the analogue inputs fine, just not the buttons.
Apparently, I'm not the only one with that issue as I found a fully mapped community profile that does the same thing.

Ah, that's good to see. I was getting a bit worried about the lack of updates!
Anecdotally, I got one of the biquintennial (is that a word?) hardware surveys recently, and it listed me as not having a VR headset, despite my Index being plugged in, on and registered in Steam, so hopefully, they aren't allocating development resources based on those stats.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe trailer was eerie and cool, but I couldn't figure out what a player would be doing, exactly. I mean you're zooming down one track; you can't really dodge, most of the time it doesn't seem like you're shooting anything although now and then it seems like a shock wave comes out of you. I presume there's something, and it's related to the rhythm and all that--I'm just wondering what it is.

It's a bit like a rhythm game; you have to activate the right thing when the appropriate, usually glowing, other thing hits you (or right before). It's cool, I recommend it - gets you in a weird, dreadful, semi-hypnotic mood :D
