[widlarizer]

Version of xpadneo

0.9.7

Controller Model

• Xbox One S controller

Connection mode

Installed Software

• Anti-Micro (may affect button mappings)
• OpenRGB (may mess up mappings and rumble stability)

Protocol Information

Please help us identify at which layer the problem can be found if you want
to report mapping errors or if the controller fails to be detected:

• Steam Proton games are having issues
• Steam Linux-native games are having issues
  • I don't use Steam or did not try
• games running through Lutris, wine and/or Bottles are having issues
  • I don't use Lutris, Bottles, wine or did not try
• Linux-native games are having issues
  • I don't use native games or did not try
• Other software is having issues (describe software and issues below)
• Running evtest is showing issues (describe the issues below)
  • Keep in mind that BTN_NORTH and BTN_WEST are intentionally swapped

  • I don't have this tool or don't know how to use it
• Running gamepad-tool is showing issues (post console output below)
  • I don't have this tool
  • YEAH this one also is fixed by the env var

Please describe how it is failing below in the next sections.

Severity / Impact

• I've read the docs and the bug reporting instructions
• I've applied the latest firmware update to the controller
• I've tried disabling or running without above mentioned software
• It does not work at all
• It used to work in a previous version
• It mostly works but sometimes it doesn't
• I found a work-around
• I probably didn't figure it all out but it's too early to give up
• I don't know how to ...
• It's too complicated
• Fantastic work but ...
• I can code and I want to help

All information I have is on the existing nixpkgs report for the Steam package. I no longer think it is unique to Steam but common to SDL2 programs.

I don't know when this broke but this controller used to work wireless on this PC. I just haven't used the controller in a long time

We have this documented in the troubleshooting docs since a long time. So it probably initially didn't work without it, and you were just lucky. That said, I'm in the process of fixing this during v0.11 by dropping old legacy compatibility.
