Every button is a ? in game
Your system information

- SteamOS version: 3.8 (Build 20250527.1000)
- Opted into Steam client beta? yes
- Opted into SteamOS beta: yes

When I play the game, all the in-game control prompts show up as a question mark instead of the assigned button. For example, it will tell me “Press “?” to web swing” instead of “press RT it also does this on the last if us part 2 and ghost of Tsushima
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- start any game with steam input Api
Most likely a duplicate of https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7735#issuecomment-2919357178.
Same here on my legion go.. all games are fine except Spiderman and ghost of tsushima
Same problem with Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Still no fix... I saw something like this happened a year or two ago and the said it was cause of steam input regeneration or something like that.. I wish they will fix soon..
I finally succeed to fix it by going to desktop mode, and execute the following command in Konsole:
sudo inputplumber device 0 targets set xbox-elite
This replace the steam deck input by Xbox input and the proper buttons appears ingame!
Same issue on the rog ally x. Running version 3.8 20250614.1000
this should be fixed on the newest steam deck beta client: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/529849950216913143?l=english

This is not fully fixed. The cross circles are gone in Shadow of the TombRaider, but button prompts now don't appear at all for many of the buttons and commands.
The X prompt shows in some places now, but not the other buttons (again, in SOTTR).
So the ? prompt has been replaced to no button at all in many sections of the UI and game.

sudo inputplumber device 0 targets set xbox-elite

This solve my issue on Horizon forbidden west and Shadow of the Tomb Raider (both games where I had the issue) Hopefully it will come to the main steamOS channel asap. Thank you

Check tomb raider again, all the button prompts are now completely missing from the UI.
I see them. Previously I was seeing a forbidden mark instead of the button. Now when I start the game I see « Xbox controller »instead of legion go image.

I mean in the pause screen. Ther should be button prompts for the tips and for open and close, and they are missing.

You need to retype the command Konsole each time you reboot the Légion Go S… unfortunately

I'm not speaking about the shitty workaround, I'm talking about the supposed fix for the Steam Client Beta that didn't fix things. Stop posting about the workaround, this thread is for a Steam Client bug, which supposedly was fixed but isn't.
The update from today (June 21) does fix the problem fully. Tested with Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
