Update breaks it on Steam Deck

[Squiddy]

Just FYI, the new gamepad update appears to break it on Steam Deck when you hit the Steam button to bring up the Overlay and do anything. By default, the Steam Deck uses the Windows version in Proton.

Seems Game Maker dies as, I assume, the controller is suddenly not found?

It will now only work correctly, if Steam Input is set to mouse and keyboard on Steam Deck.

The gamepad is working for me on Steam Deck, but the hand icon is in the middle of the screen and won't move/disappear when I start the game up.

Moved fine for me with the right thumbstick.

The control scheme now works after multiple reboots on the Steam Deck.

Gamepad works great, I only had to change my input method away from mouse/keyboard emulation to gamepad. (Not sure if this is something you'd have to change somewhere.)

One minor bug though: If you hit a gamepad button, you apparently don't hide the regular mouse cursor. So if you touch the screen, and then use the gamepad buttons, the mouse cursor won't go away and you've essentially got two visible cursors on screen.

Game Maker Studio can only move cursor on Windows(
in code if you press gamepad button, cursor jumps to left-bottom corner of the game window
but it works only on Windows

Ah, I see. Just felt weird.👍 (Workaround I've used in my own programs before: Maybe just set an invisible/fully transparent cursor while Gamepad is active. But your decision.🙂)

[theRandom]

if cursor transparent - it collide with something anyway)

[Smaxx]

Yeah, guess I'll just keep my finger away, but thanks for the quick updates, esp. in your current situation. :)
