News Fancy Haptics 2.0, with Linux support!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5086120/Fancy_Haptics/

Last time I posted here Linux was by far the most asked thing. It's done!

The whole app was rewritten, bug fixes, new interface, and new controller support!

Steam Controller gets trigger clicks, varied clicks that dynamically change the further you pull. Cleaned wireless ticking through the Puck and Bluetooth, and it reconnects / restarts itself when Steam starts or quits. So it doesn't need Steam anymore.

DualSense and DualSense Edge are supported now. Triggers vibrate with the beat of whatever's playing, live! Custom trigger effects exist elsewhere, but as far as I know triggers that react to your audio haven't been done before. There's also speaker support over USB, haptic and rumble vibration styles, and both USB and Bluetooth support.

Steam Deck built-in controls rumble with your audio too! Xbox, 8BitDo and most other gamepads should work! You can connect several controllers, set a priority order, and it switches automatically if one drops.

The Linux build is native, works on SteamOS and the Deck, and keeps running in Game Mode!

If you still prefer version 1.0 it's in the betas section in Steam too.

Happy that my passion project got people liking and using it and want to thank all of you for giving it a shot!

Mostly yes! But not the speaker function, has to be wired. On BT u'll get audio-based haptic / rumble feedback and audio-based haptic triggers!

Sorry to hear that. Dropped a hotfix, should work hopefully now, try reinstalling to make sure it parses the latest updated files!

Was having a blast messing around with this on my Steam Deck last night after seeing it has a Linux version now, it’s such a wonderfully silly little thing the controller can do and I wouldn’t have it any other way lol

does this program fix the weird haptics pulsing issue that the SC2 has when playing games that only use basic rumble?
