Very nice review Liam. I really enjoyed reading it :)
Feral Interactive are asking what you want ported to Linux again

Not in order Any game would be great, But the more the better :)
Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3 And every game from CDPR would be nice, Including a re-port of The Witcher 2.
GTA V & Red Dead Redemption 2, Every Rockstar game would be very nice, Including The Warriors.
Grid 2019, Dirt Rally 2 from Codemasters.
Just Cause and Final Fantasy Series from Square Enix Maybe even Kingdom Hearts?
Maybe Strike a deal with IO Interactive for the complete Hitman series, Maybe even Freedom Fighters.
Maybe the new Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games? They seem to have gotten a deal Who knows what it will bring.
Maybe discuss the Sonic franchise with Sega, Some are unplayable which makes me a sad penguin.
Ubisoft for the South Park games, Assassin Creed series, Far Cry Series, Maybe a Rayman collection?
Capcom, Devil May Cry series and Resident Evil series, Activision with the Call of Duty series.
Bethesda with the Wolfenstein and Fallout series and Wreckfest would be cool :)
Popular indies and some classics might be a quick buck maybe Jazz Jackrabbit 2, or who knows, There are also Lots of Unity games that have no port because of some problem with some unity plugin, A Hat in Time for example. It could also help the unity engine plugins for more compatibility on all games that use it :)

Quoting: M@GOidI don't own La Mulana, But I have just tested it with Grow Home, It just works with my XB1 controller, no tweaking or anything needed.Quoting: HoutwormUnless this is something that changed in recent months, I stand by my remark. Of the hundreds of games I have, about 3 or 4 did not recognize it. Those are mostly indie games where the developer didn't bother with a SDL2 implementation, and choose to do a white list of supported controllers.Quoting: M@GOidAlso keep in mind that both Xbone and DS4 are not as compatible with games as the Xb360 and the Logitech joypads. Here and there you might have to use the Steam Input to make some games recognize them.This is true for the DS4, but not for the XB1, it actually gets recognized as a XB360 controller in older games. I have yet to come across a game that works with other controllers but doensn't with a XB1.
Off the top of my head, I remember La Mulana (I believe it doesn't even on Windows!) and the worst offender, Grow Home, that not even recognizes the XB360 controller...

You have to add the line options bluetooth disable_ertm=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/xbox_bt.conf
I have written a small guide, there are detailed instructions there to optimize Linux for Gaming :)

Quoting: MalXbox one S with BT connection for me as well.I agree, Wireless is great, but build in batteries are always empty when you need them :P
Although these Gioteck looks really nice, personally I don't like controllers with integrated lithium batteries. I prefer the good old AA powered ones. When they are out of juice, you just swap in your spare batteries and put the empty ones in the charger. Much better than waiting hours or using the cable.
Quoting: GuestWired works great with xpadneo, I never had problems with bluetooth, Have you disabled ertm?Quoting: HoutwormXbox One S + xpadneo all the way, even vibration and the vibration in the triggers work, It works perfectly even in games that are notorious for controller problems, It also supports multiple controllers, battery indicators. They are a bit expensive tho.But that doesn't work in wired mode, or yes?
I mean, i don't want to use batteries. Also, bluetooth always gave me problems on Linux, i don't get why a lot of distros disable it by default.

You may want to hold off on Linux Kernel 5.3 and systemd 243 if you use a gamepad

I am on 5.3.1 now tho, I have not tested the controller with Steam on 5.3, So maybe it was not working on that kernel with Steam, not sure about that.

Quoting: SupayI can connect it it shows up in Steam and it also works for games that normally work with a PS4 controllerQuoting: HoutwormAhh, I just checked your images. I am the same, the controllers still connect just fine via Bluetooth using bluetoothctl, but they are completely unusable in Steam. Have you tried loading Steam up and seeing if they work in there?Quoting: Vash63Yes I am sure, https://imgur.com/a/cyxTpgc [External Link]Quoting: HoutwormI run Kernel 5.3.0 and Systemd 243.0, My controllers are all working just fine with Steam and anywhere else actually. I use Xbox One S controllers and Dualshock 4 controllers I use them all using Bluetooth.You can connect a DS4 via Bluetooth on kernel 5.3? That's interesting, are you sure you've tested that specifically since updating? As for the systemd issue it only impacts XInput emulation for games that don't support generic (non-X360) gamepads.
Battery information is not being shown for the DS4 tho.
The other 3 controllers are Xbox 1 S controllers

Just some of the games coming to Linux in 2019, the September edition
14 Sep 2019 at 5:05 pm UTC
There are much more games releasing for Stadia, It would be wonderful if they all had a Native Linux version, Imagine playing Cyberpunk native on Linux :O
@Liam,
Log Jammers, Resolutiion, War Selection, Lamentum, Disobedient Sheep, Cathedral, Space Grunts 2, Dead Pixels 2, Adventures of Chris, Electro Ride, Zap Blastum, Keyboard Sports, will all release in 2019, According to Steam
Fractalis is listed for Late 2019 early 2020, So not sure if it belongs here

Quoting: FredOMy theory: Feral is probably bringing the Tomb Raider trilogy to Stadia first, and then finally releasing SotTR on Linux afterwards. What other reason would they have to drag on the release a year after announcing it?I asked Feral about Stadia and the Tomb Raiders. They could not say anything about if the Native Linux version will be used or that Stadia will use the Windows version through DXVK on Linux.
