[Bug] Xbox One S/360 Controller not being detected without Steam on 1.16.5 using Linux
PeterStrick opened this issue · 4 comments
Using EndeavourOS latest
Kernel: 5.19.4-arch1-1
Minecraft 1.16.5
Controllable Version 0.16.5
The Controller both Wired and Bluetooth is being detected by the KDE Joystick Settings, gamepad-tester.com, and Steam, but it is not detected by Controllable.
Hardware Logs are here, including PCI, USB and General Hardware Logs: eos-log-tool.log
You mentioned the controller is detected on Steam, is it actually enabled since that can help.
Unfortuantely a lot of these problems I can't fix because it's the library I depend on which can't detect the controller, not Controllable itself. It could also be the flavour of your OS, simply be that controllers (or specific ones) don't work outside of Steam. Last resort would be to try a different controller if you have one available.

I'm launching the Minecraft Launcher through Steam running in Big Picture mode, Controller plugged in through USB.
Steam detects it as an Xbox One Controller, with and without Xbox Configuration Support enabled.
When launching Minecraft, Controllable detects the Controller as a "Steam Virtual Gamepad" which works fine.

I tried it with Manjaro before as well with the same behaviour.

I have a 3 Controllers so I tried them all with various Settings.
Steam, Minecraft and the Minecraft Launcher were completely closed and re-opened after each Config change
Only Controllable and the SmoothBoot Mod were loaded

Still weird that only Xbox Controllers have Issues without Steam.
To put it simply, it's a GLFW issue, not Controllable. Using Steam is the solution to fix it.
Hey!
I allow myself to open this up, in case someone stumbles across this.
MC version: 1.19.4
Controllable version: 0.18.0
Note: Steam wasn't running during this.
When using my controller with Bluetooth, Controllable doesn't detect it, but works in other games, like Dolphin for example.
Using the controller with Bluetooth:
using the controller trough USB:
Another note: When using the controller, in Bluetooth, it's detected as a Xbox one controller, and in USB, as a Xbox 360 controller.
