Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): May 8
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch with Wayland
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: attached
  • GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

expectation: Gyro control is supposed to remain responsive throughout gameplay.

reality: While playing, every few minutes the gyro stops responding, causing it to indefinetely steer into one direction while touching the thumbstick. The behavior can be reset by pressing the steam button to open the overlay. Upon returning from overlay, the issue is fixed temporarily.

Gyro on/off is bound to right thumbstick touch to replicate steam deck native behavior. Everything else left default

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. bind gyro on to right thumbstick touch
  2. launch game and play for a few minutes
  3. eventually gyro gets stuck

games tested: spiderman remastered; cyberpunk 2077
