Hi guys! I’m going on a trip where I’ll have a bunch of kids playing Mario Kart on my Steam Deck. (Full setup, connected to a TV and a bunch of controllers…last year they had a blast). I just was testing this before the trip: Seems the Steam Deck’s input is not being…registered on the game? I can’t control anything. Also, seems to ignore a connected keyboard input, like if I hit Alt-Enter to leave full screen, I can see it kinda flickers, but doesn’t get it to show the menus, and remains in game. But only while on SteamOS. Desktop mode with big picture gets the input correctly. Any idea what might be failing?

    Wait-wait-wait…This is weirder. So, it’s not like the input doesn’t work. It just doesn’t work…for the first 3-4mins. Mario Kart stays on the title. While I was checking websites for troubleshooting ideas, I could hear Mario saying the “Mario Kart eiiiight”, which is what happens when you actually press a button. And now it works. This is…replicable. If I start the game again, it will idle at the logo screen ignoring me until for some reason…it starts working. ANy idea what might be causing this??’ The deck is set to Cemu - Deck layout from valve.
