Can you try setting the action to the trigger (ignore the fact it comes up as "?") and see if it works in-game?

This works in game, yes. Thank you for solving it.

So, yeah... xbox triggers are analog and are exposed to software as a single Z axis in Windows's controller properties.

Thanks for confirming, I'll try and give them a proper name. I have triggers and bumpers already covered, so I need to figure out what exactly I missed

I played a few stages on Windows desktop, and then when I installed the game on Steam Deck, it started from scratch as if it was a fresh save.

I looked in the Deck's .local/share/ directory, and there were two copies of the save folder: the Windows one is Godot with a capital G, and the Linux one is lowercase.

Hmm, did steam say the game had synced with the cloud on steam deck? The lower/higher case shouldn't be an issue since Linux is the only one that cares about that stuff and the Godot local directory has always been lowercase on Linux. I suspect something else caused the issue, as in general I don't think there's been a problem with cloud saves between desktop and steam deck since I updated the cloud saving method several updates back

The deck says "steam cloud: up to date". On the steam cloud website https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp/?appid=1249480 it only shows the windows file:

WinAppDataRoaming Godot/app_userdata/Ex-Zodiac/save_EA.dat 2.13 KB

Hmm, okay I'll take a look into it with my steam deck and see what's up

probably not a bug, but why can i use the trigger buttons to bind turbo and boost on them?

Are you saying you can or you can't? If you're referring the fact the trigger buttons come up as "?" when trying to assign them, its a bug in the button namings, it will still work in-game, it just doesn't display the trigger that's been assigned at the moment

[Outfoxed]

can`t sorry, oh okay thanks

The game bugs out when I try playing it on my 21:9 monitor. Even at different settings it's so jittery and I'm not sure how to fix it.

And it doesn't happen on your other monitors?

I haven't played in a while, but it worked fine before. Now, when I start the game, there is a Godot Engine process that pops up in the task manager, but the game won't open for me.

Can you let me know what your pc specs are? The game has switched over to vulkan from opengl, so on some older systems there may be issues running it, but it's possible to fall back to OpenGL by adding "--rendering-driver opengl3" (without quotes) to the launch options in the steam settings for the game. If you have a laptop with integrated graphics and a dedicated GPU then sometimes it can be a case of getting the game to run on the dedicated gpu rather than the integrated one

I've got an Intel Core i7-7700HQ
16 gb ram
Nvidia GTX 1060

Edit: I tried both methods you described - changing the starting parameters, as well as changing my Nvidia settings to force the use of the GPU. Both have not worked.

is there perhaps a log of some sorts that could help you identify the problem?

Hmm, okay. You can see any logs in this folder, just press windows key + R and paste it in and press enter: %APPDATA%/Godot/app_userdata/Ex-Zodiac/logs

I checked the logs, but those will not deliver any insights, since the last time it was written to, was in 2022... I'm a bit stumped.
