Hey folks, I’m having a pretty frustrating issue with my Deck while playing GTA 4. After about 5 hours of gameplay, it just stopped responding to any controls. I’ve tried different layouts and settings, but nothing seems to work. It was installed non-Steam through Heroic, and I even changed the game name to the AppID to get more control options, but they’re still unresponsive. Any ideas on what I can do to get it working again?

I’ve had a similar problem with some games. Switching to beta versions resolved it for me. Give that a shot and see if it helps!
I haven’t had this issue with the Steam version, but it could be possible that the launcher is running in the background. Press the Steam button on the left side and check if any windows are open while you’re in the game.
Make sure your Deck recognizes the controller settings. Try launching the game in Desktop mode to double-check everything.
Yep, it works fine in Desktop mode. No clue why it’s not responding in gaming mode though.
Sometimes the Deck gets switched to controller 2, 3, or 4. The Steam menus might still work, but some games require you to switch back to controller #1. You can do this from the quick menu!
Thanks for the tip! I couldn’t find that option without an external controller, but the Deck is set to controller 1.
Checked that; nothing else is running.
