Hi all, I tried creating a Steam shortcut through lutris but my controller isn’t detected -I’m trying to play it via Steam Link.

Normal Steam games appear to work fine, and from everything I’ve seen online it should just work.

    It works when I launch through Lutris, but yea - using the Steam shortcut it doesn’t work. I’m sure it all used to work on my old system, but not sure if I’ve tried it since moving to Wayland

      uhm. Ok, let’s get back one step. What is Steam shortcut?

      Does “steam shortcut” mean that you are running lutris from steam? In such case maybe it’s the other way round than what I proposed earlier - steam controller thingy grabs the controller and because of that it doesn’t go straight to the game?

        Its an option in Lutris to automatically create a shortcut in your Steam game library for a “Non-Steam game”. But yes, I think you’re right - that’s probably what is happening
