The issue comes down to how the device interacts with your computer. Just like the original version, the new Steam Controller has no native Windows drivers. This means the hardware relies entirely on the Steam app to function properly. If you do not have the game running via Valve’s storefront app, your shiny new gamepad turns into a useless piece of plastic.

Gamers Nexus also reported this and there are a lot of other news outlets also covering this. It is kinda the same as with the steam deck where I noticed that the inputs just don’t work until steam is launched. I really don’t like that I have to have Steam running for this controller to work. I don’t know if it is a dealbreaker for me, yet, but it really put a damper on my enthusiasm about it

I have no problem installing games via their GoG installer with the Heroic Games Launcher on my main Fedora PC. However on the Steam Deck when I click “Add Game” and then fill in the name and click on “Run Installer First” the installer launches and then tells me that it could no find the other .bin files. I tried moving the directory to other places, but it seems like wine cannot find the files. I checked the directory permissions and all users have read access to those directories, yet they do not show up in the mounted filesystem in wine… (the GoG installer lets you choose another location of the files if it cannot find them)
