MoltenGamepad VS FFXIVQuickLauncher

I have been messing with preseeding a debian install with the packages I need and maybe toying around with the kernel for native gamepad support. I found a project that appears to fix some of the gamepad support issue when trying to run emulated games from steam -gamepadui (passing controllers to Ryujinx or dolphin leads to disconnect issues).

I've been using MoltenGamepad (https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad) on Linux. It'll handle mapping all the buttons, IR, accel/gyro, nunchuck, etc. It works pretty well once you figure out the config files. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent for Windows though. IMO the a wiimote with the sensor bar works pretty good controlling the mouse for a media PC connected to your TV.

I thought of this, but I am also using FFXIV Launcher and piping that through Steam seems to break wine. MoltenGamepad seems perfect so far, but I appreciate your suggestion!

I did trip across MoltenGamepad, but I haven't really tried it out yet.

I found this project in another reddit thread, but it hasn't been updated since 2020: https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad

I use https://github.com/jgeumlek/MoltenGamepad to make all of my pads behave like XBox360 controllers.

If he was on trial, he needs to delete the trial installation, and reinstall the game. I had similar issues on Steam. The https://goatcorp.github.io/ is also a great, 3rd party solution and might even be faster than the game launcher.

All i have to say is GL... Firstly, Librem runs on a linux kernel, which is not innately compatiable with FFXIV. There are ways around this, the main way is using the xivquicklauncher 3rd party tool. https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

The game really is that big, though the launcher does throttle download speeds. If this is less than your usual download speed, then I would consider looking into XIVQuickLauncher, which should be significantly faster. However, if this is a pretty typical download speed, all this would accomplish is restarting your download.

I recommend using the ffxiv quicklauncher instead of official one. I used to have problems with download speeds too but with this it works as good as it should. Not to mention all the other great features it offers https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

Easiest fix would probably be reinstall. I've used https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher to install in the past as the download speed is much much faster (and ffxiv is huge). You can just use the normal Square launcher afterward if you want, too, but if you're sketch about putting your username/password in a 3rd party app that's understandable.
