FFB in ACC and others (Proton 7) about hid-fanatecff HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi,
just tried ACC, and for me it was not working as well. It seems that this is a regression of Proton 7, though. I switched to Proton 6 and FFB was working fine again. I've updated the issue title accordingly.
So, for the moment, try with Proton 6. I'll try to figure out the issue with Proton 7 asap ...
Regards

CSL Elite and Proton 7 does not work. Just downgraded to Proton 6 and it works again.

Seems it's a regression that's affecting other Linux drivers as well. I see similar comments in the issue trackers for Automobilista, Dirt2 and BeamNG. I think Valve should already be aware of this and it should not take long for them to come up with something ... Still, I might look into it myself when I've time.

Thanks for replying! I had a chance to test over the weekend and can confirm ACC and Project Cars 2 work with Proton 6.
Hope Proton fixes the regression 🤞

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, there is a workaround that you could try: ValveSoftware/Proton#2366 (comment)

from hid-fanatecff.

Tried the regex workaround with proton GE_Proton7_9-1 in ACC and Project Cars 2 (which are working in Proton 6) - neither game receives any input from the wheel.

On a different topic, are Automobilista 2 and Dirt Rally 2.0 supposed to work? For Dirt Rally 2.0 FFB doesn't work no matter what Proton version I have (everything else like steering/buttons/pedals work fine). And in Automobilista 2 - again no FFB and I can't get it to assign the steering because it says multiple inputs detected. Don't know if there are any particular settings I should be applying for these.

I don't use GE_Proton, so I can't comment on that. I only checked this with stock Proton7.

For me, all the games you've listed (apart from PC2, which I didn't test) work. Did you try set 'Disable Steam Input' in the 'Controller' properties for the various games?

Happy to report that I got Automobilista 2 working, I think it was due to in-game settings rather than anything else, but I am disabling steam input on every game now just in case :)
Also got RaceRoom and rFactor2 working (everything with Proton 6.3-8).

Seems to work fine now with latest version.
