I run Manjaro linux and get something i think is a double input issue in Shadow of Mordor. The game seems to read some of the controller inputs as both the mouse and joystick. For example when i use the analogue stick the camera moves up/down and my character moves. Also noticable in menus. When i move the analogue stick the mouse starts moving and the input is also sent in menus and stuff to move the selected option.

In general, issues with games need to be reported to the game devs, not here. That said, any chance you are using xf86-input-joystick?

Ah i see. I'll let them know as well.
Yea i think i have it installed. Should i try removing it?

so ... my memory (often faulty) tells me this has come up before, and if xf86-input-joystick is active, then everything is working as expected.

Ah, with another round of googles using that package as a keyword i found some info and it seems like it's very counter producting to what the steam controller is trying to do. It emulates mouse movement from a joystick. Removing it fixed the issue. Maybe should be posted somewhere. #4237 is most likely caused by the same package.
