Sidyctism2, do games w GOG Summer Sale has arrived

Kinda off topic, but since a lot of people are talking about gaming on linux: can you get DS4Windows to run on linux? Being able to utilise the touchpad of my DS5 controller as a mouse was a game-changer for me, and i dont want to give that up if I dont have to when i do the full switch to linux

mox,

DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers have official drivers built-in to the linux kernel, including support for the touchpad and motion controls. You probably don’t need something like DS4Windows.

tuckerm,

And if you do run into any problems, the Steam overlay should solve any compatibility problems, if you're OK with launching your games through Steam. I end up doing that with all of my games (including the ones I didn't buy on Steam) since I think its controller mapping UI is the best.

mox,

Just to clarify: Steam Input is the component you’re describing.

Katana314,

So instead of DS4Windows4Linux, just DS4Linux. Makes sense.

mox,

ds4linux exists, but is unnecessary in most common cases.

ipkpjersi,

Weirdly enough, I could never get my DS4/PS4 controller working on Linux, at least through Bluetooth. The device never shows up in the device list. My Xbox Series X and Xbox One X controllers work perfectly with Bluetooth thanks to xpadneo, and I can use my DS4/PS4 controller wired with or without ds4drv, but I just can’t get it to work wirelessly.

mox,

That is strange. It works great for me. All I had to do was pair it.

I have read that some computers have bluetooth modules that don’t play well with it, though. Maybe you have one of those, or an old kernel?

ipkpjersi,

I’m on Ubuntu 22.04, kernel 6.5.0-41-generic so it shouldn’t be that. Maybe my Bluetooth adapter isn’t that great but it’s a TP-Link UB400 so it’s not exactly a low quality Bluetooth adapter either.

mox,

I think that kernel version should handle it, as long as the hid-sony or hid-playstation module is being loaded. (Some 6.7 and early 6.8 kernels had a relevant bug, though.)

It’s hard to say regarding the bluetooth adapter. The branding and price don’t matter; my cheap old no-name dongle worked great. It’s really about whether the parts used inside happen to play well with the other device.

Another thought: Is it possible you have the old version of the DS4, rather than the DS4 v2? If I remember correctly, the light bar is visible through the touchpad only on the v2.

ipkpjersi,

I actually have two PS4 controllers, one older one and one with the light bar. Both of them are unable to connect via Bluetooth.

I don’t have hid_sony or hid_playstation loaded, I tried manually loading them and I think that works but: i.imgur.com/VHbtW5l.png even though they show as loaded, I still experience the same problem: i.imgur.com/Z42WtKr.png I only have a bunch of unnamed devices when searching for new devices to connect to/pair with, and I can’t pair with any of them. My headphones and Xbox Series X controller work perfectly.

mox,

Do you know why both hid_sony and hid_playstation are loaded? Only one is needed. The latter replaces the former, IIRC.

It loads automatically on my system once I power up the (already paired) DS4. You did pair yours with your computer, right?

I also wonder if any of the device names in your bluetooth list would be more friendly if you installed the steam-devices package.

ipkpjersi,

They are both loaded because I tried manually loading just one, and then it didn’t help, so then I tried the other.

I can’t pair mine with my computer, it doesn’t even show up in the device list. The modules do not show up unless I manually load them.

I already have steam-devices installed.

I really don’t feel like I am doing anything wrong, but maybe I am.

okamiueru,

I’ve used both PS4 and Ps5 controllers. You don’t need to do anything except to plug it in.

I’ve only had issues in one game (Minishoot Adventures), where the solution was to disable controller support layer that steam comes with.

I haven’t tried Bluetooth, as I don’t mind the cable.

Oooh, finally a sale on the Shadow Gambit DLC. Time to get both, I heard a lot that while Yuki is of course the “cooler” DLC since well, it’s Yuki, the other one is mechanically smarter as the new unit is overpowered but also quite different.

On that note, cannot recommend Shadow Gambit enough. It’s the perfection of the Commandos / Shadow Tactics / Desperados formula.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I thought it was the worst one of those, but it was still a good game.

Remember that GOG subscribes you to all their marketing bullshit when you claim a free game, so just a reminder to go to your gog account settings and disable all that shit.

S410, (edited ) do games w [GOG] [GAME] FlatOut Free
@S410@kbin.social avatar

Seems to region locked. There isn't a word about the game being given away, unless I log out of my account and use a VPN.
What even is the point of region-locking a fucking giveaway?

Edit: well, at least changing the region in the settings works. I guess it defaults to whatever country it thinks the IP the account was registered from belongs to?

Flatout is one of my favourites and has an awesome soundtrack. Also was one of my first PC games and didn’t realise that was 20 years ago.

I really like the pixel art in this game. It doesn't pop in screen shots, but in motion I think it does a really good job executing the style they chose.

I bought a bunch of indie games that looked cool: Alwa’s Legacy (I’m playing it right now, it’s pretty fun), Night in the woods and Phoenotopia: Awakening. I also bought Dishonored (which I played back in the days, but I’m eager to replay one of these days, alongside its DLCs).

Risky purchase of the week: King of Dragon Pass. Never heard of it, but the reviews were positive and the screens look interesting, so I decided, why not.

I also really, really wanted to buy I was a teenage exocolonist, because it’s one of my favourite games from 2022, but the GoG version still hasn’t been updated to the recent patch, and seems like it never will. Shame.

@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

Huge!!! The main reason I stopped buying from GOG was their lack of cloud gaming support.

Deceptichum, do games w More ways to play your GOG games with Amazon Luna
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

Not cool GOG, not cool.

AProfessional,

Whats wrong? Don’t say GOG will suddenly go streaming only.

LiveLM,

Luna you’ll be able to play every game that you already own on GOG (and that is also available on Luna). There’s absolutely no requirement to purchase anything twice

In other words, buying games on GOG will give you the best of both worlds – enjoying them on Luna’s cloud gaming service, as well as via offline installers or GOG GALAXY. All your DRM-free benefits of owning games on GOG will still be there, you’ll just have more ways to play your favorite titles.

It’s the best way they could have done it, just an extra way to play with no lock-in. I fail to see the issue with this.

Deceptichum,
@Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’d rather them not have done it than.

I do not want GOG involved with Amazon, it does not bode well.

@HKayn@dormi.zone avatar

What are you talking about? GOG has been involved with Amazon for a long time now, and so far it has been exclusively beneficial for GOG users.

really good little detective noir game. i think i finished it in one or two sessions. would recommend

the video game blurb rightfully points out the improved UX on point and clicks, which was a huge improvement on the formula i appreciated a lot

Also it’s part of this month’s humble choice with a bunch of other games included (if you don’t mind steam)

Amazing news. Days Gone has been really fun, glad I can remain steam free

Blamemeta, do games w Days Gone now on GOG ($16.49)

The first game since l4d2 to get hordes right. Damn good game, and good story to boot.

Rose,

Have you not played WWZ? Nothing beats those hordes.
