Sim racing and bazzite (lemmy.ml)

Recently I dipped my toes in sim racing and I could run dirt 2.0 and AC fairly easily with a controller. A few weeks ago I bought a G920 and so far the only game that works with it proper is Dirt 2.0. AC and rF2 are a nightmare. AC shakes the wheel or doesn’t recognize it, rF2 just keeps steering on it’s own (even when the car is stationary, with autosteer off). I also tried RSF RBR, which runs, but after the first launch it doesn’t detect the wheel anymore.

DKMS is not supported on bazzite, I couldn’t get new-lg4ff to work. Oversteer works, but is sort of useless without the driver. I’m a little bit disheartened at this point. Since I bought the wheel, I spent way more time troubleshooting than racing.

Does anyone have any experience running these games on bazzite with a G920? Is there an easy fix to all of these issues that I’m overlooking?

I’m way too settled into bazzite to distrohop now and I really wouldn’t like to have MS in my household.

My main priority would be to get RSF RBR running and then AC or rF2 to have something other than rally.

Thanks in advance for any input

Fellow sim racer! I asked quite a few similar questions on here before making the switch again (last time was 10 years ago and just on spare pcs that I put linux on). I am sorry I don't have in depth knowledge to help you; Mint with oversteer seems to work ok with my dfgt. I have tested it in AMS2 and beamng and it has worked well. Have not installed AC yet. Maybe try a quick install of mint on a spare drive and see if it works there ? I'd do that since it seems easiest. Then you know if it's distro related.

I’m yet to try BeamNG, would be cool to test some cars I built in Automation. I was a bit hesitant about AMS2 for some reason, but might as well give it a go. Although RBR would be the priority now.

Oh man, ams2 is miles ahead of assetto in terms of realism and tire physics. To me it's much more like real cars. AC makes things unnecessary hard for the sake of "sim racing is hard" but irl it's not actually like that.
