Input issues while playing games through Steam
Hello Bazzite users and devs,
i've recently made the switch over to Bazzite OS (bazzite-deck) on my GPD Win Mini. The OS is absolutely lovely so far! One issue i discovered is that when i play games through Steam, the input tends to get messed up. Specifically the keyboard doesn't always work in games.
I initially discovered this issue while testing the keyboard using Tiny Life to make sure that the keyboard layout was set correctly for Gamescope. Unfortunately Tiny Life doesn't register the keyboard within Gaming Mode and Desktop Mode alike. Playing the same game on Fedora Kinoite through Steam on another laptop works fine.
Another game is DevilutionX. Launching the game in Gaming Mode is fine and dandy. Launching the game in Desktop Mode through KDE is also fine. Launching the game in Desktop Mode through Steam however breaks the controller.
Playing The Sims 1 Complete Collection is a notable exception. This game works fine in Desktop, Desktop through Steam and Gaming Mode. I installed this game using Lutris.
Thank you in advance for your help.
