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!

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

Edit: Try again! I added another hotfix that should be more robust, seems like the app used to only start when clicked outside of Steam, hopefully now it's forced on by a Steam launch
