I don't know what specifics I should give but input doesn't work with any games at all. If I run something graphical like the Creation Kit however, input and everything works perfectly. I can't test controllers but I tried an external keyboard and nothing changed.
Games Tested:
Skyrim(Vanilla)
Star Wars Battlefront 2(2005)
Mount & Blade Demo (This one works a little bit but pressing buttons to load a new game or anything doesn't work, the mouse just flickers)
TESIII: Morrowind doesn't even work, crashes once it opens, though idc because OpenMW

Oh also, In-Game Overlay still works in all games, Shift+Tab still opens it, though no game takes input.

For me the keyboard doesn't work only in some games. The mouse always works in the games I tested.
Keyboard is not responsive in these games: (it's easiest to test the ESC key)

  • Twilight Struggle
  • Campfire Cooking

Can confirm this affects me in Skyrim: intel i7, Nvidia GTX 1080, but after hitting Play on the splash screen, I do not have proper mouse movement.

The only game that has responsive input for me is Fallout Shelter. None of the other whitelisted games I own work. Am about to try Subnautica.

I really think we should still have separate issues for each game, as it's hard to track an issue with the title here being vague ("rendered games"?).

This has been fixed for a while now, the problem was that the SteamRuntime wasn't updated but the program itself was. Fix: update Steam via NixPkgs.

Nothing extracted yet.
