greetings my fellow Penguins. as per the title. shit brokey. I launched the game for the first time yesterday and it just would not work. all the buttons work just not the mouse move = camera move. even in the menu dragging it doesn't work till I scroll or click a button.

I tried setting environmental variables such as SteamDeck=1 on Heroic and it did nothing. on my digging I unearthed that some people's mice would mouse if they put the nopssdk.dll and the associated version.dll in the game folder, and then setting the env var SteamDeck=0 and WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" (I did not add the "" on Heroic btw). still nada. some have gotten it work after installing GameInput, but tis on Windows. we don't like Microslop around here. I looked into if there was a way to get it working on Linux but was ultimately unsuccesful.

I have a DualShock 4 that works but since my PS4 gone kaputt I'm more of a M&K kinda guy yk.

any1 else see this shit in a light I don't? thanks for the help.

Try launching with gamescope

I installed Gamescope and Heroic instantly recognized it. I also enabled force grab mouse and in game it still does not work. the camera is bounded to the arrow keys which makes me think is the prob. I cannot unbound them nor set them to mouse movements. I can however set it to scroll and my side buttons which is lowkey an ugly solution.
