-mono version updatedNotes:
(1) A large amount of changes have been added in this WINE release for HID gamepad support, as noted:
HID joystick enabled by default.
Two additional pending upstream patches have been added on top of this for better functionality. Currently proton's SDL gamepad patches have been disabled in favor of WINE upstream's HID implementation. I did my usual test with Guilty Gear Strive and everything seems to appear OK. The test is done in the dojo, with one xbox controller and one ps5 controller -- both controllers showed up fully functional for player 1 and 2, and proper button mappings and button images showed and worked.
Another note regarding GG Strive in particular with the testing:
# note you have to take some funky steps for 2 player to work in training mode (not linux specific):
# https://playgame.tips/how-to-play-with-a-friend-in-trainingI have not tested any force feedback games and am not sure if patches for that have been added. Unfortunately re-enabling the SDL patches will require a -massive- list of reverts, so for the time being as mentioned, the default HID joystick implementation is being used and proton's SDL patches disabled, at least until proton upstream rebases.
(2) Deathloop seems to very much dislike alt+tabbing out. For me it would freeze the game. Other than that it appeared to be playable.
