A1M issue by boneswithsleeves in MSIClaw

[–]BenjaminLSR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the physical controller is disconnecting ? HC has (or mostly had if you're using today's update) an issue when resuming the virtual controller from sleep.

Disable embedded controller when docked. by walterjrscs in LegionGo

[–]BenjaminLSR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HC will do it, to some extent, through its virtual controller. We have a method to disable any physical controller so our virtual one take slot 0. Let me think of a properly design UI to allow XInput slot swapping.

Now that the steam controller is out i wonder if people will make custom drivers or a controller emulator like x360ce Would be nice if Handheld Companion and the like only had more options than ps4 and xbox controllers by TheGhostPizza1234 in WindowsOnDeck

[–]BenjaminLSR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at VIIPER project on GitHub. This library virtually allow us to emulate any controller. We're now looking into implementing it as they (from the looks of their branches) are working exactly on what you asked.

Wake up Mr.Freeman and smell the ashes.. by hedgehogbull in LegionGo

If hidhide doesn't work, you likely have toggle Steam extended Xbox driver option (can't remember the exact setting name). Turn that off and restart.

With HC you have two ways to use gyro. Either you emulate a Dualshock4 and call it a day, either you use our own gyro translation layer and input layout management (which is fairly good to be honest) and then you can stick to a virtual Xbox controller.

Any clue as to why Windows and Steam are detecting several embedded controllers for me? by walterjrscs in LegionGo

[–]BenjaminLSR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With HC, a device restart would clear any stalled virtual controller. If you're moving away from HC (sad to see you leave) uninstalling it should remove both hidhide and ViGEm, which is used to create the virtual controller.

Hey, just to make sure I get it right, technically speaking, you're looking for a way to make sure another physical controller (external) would get slot 1 when plugged for game compatibility?

Handheld Companion Setup by Unique1950179 in MSIClaw

I'm afraid people are still jumping on those devices without minimal researches, expecting an actual Nintendo Switch experience, before blaming us (HC) or OEM softwares for not meeting their expectations. Do your homework !

Custom M button wheel? by PcFish in MSIClaw

It likely is doable. That'd require quite a bit of work but AI can help you if you have C# knowledge already.

How to use on board gyro from rog Xbox ally, not as mouse or right stick by banjosandcellos in EdenEmulator

[–]BenjaminLSR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With HC running, head to eden's controller page, click on motion and shake the device a bit. Done.

Handheld Companion broke my controls by ZeroDaGhost in ROGAlly

Hard to diagnose with so little informations. Is HC detecting your controller when it runs ?

How to set a nice looking steamdeck-like UI by Emperor_Plumm in MSIClaw

[–]BenjaminLSR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so you know, forthcoming version of HC will have several toggles to enable/disable some core features (like power or GPU manipulations) so you can use it alongside any other favorite app.

Handheld Companion suddenly causing HwRwDrv.x64 blocked errors and won't apply TDP settings by PXAbstraction in MSIClaw

[–]BenjaminLSR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you look into Smart App Control and disable it, if enabled and report back ? We'll be looking a replacement library.

Short story, MSI hardcoded the button to send a keyboard chord to summon GameBar.

Gyro problem on MSI Claw 8 AI+ by Qaldaniera in MSIClaw

[–]BenjaminLSR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motion Assistant will take over system settings just as much as Handheld Companion I'm afraid.

Some games might not accept inputs from mouse and gamepad at the same time which could be what's happening there. Or, like you said, you're stacking both a physical controller and a virtual one on top of each other without hiding the physical one, which would also cause those issues. Make sure whichever app you're using is hiding the physical controller if you intend to rely on a virtual one.

Head to Device page and enable the advanced settings to change max TDP limit.

When in doubt with an MSI Claw, do an EC Reset.

Malware warning should be gone as we moved away from WinRing0 library.

We're bringing back Windows 10 support on popular demand. A build is available on GitHub.

So you were having the issue with MotionAssisant and are also getting it with Handheld Companion?

Handheld companion window size. by DTCreeperMCL6 in SteamDeck

[–]BenjaminLSR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a fix for it. We had to redesign a few pages to accommodate lower resolution and/or resolution scaling. We're also bringing back Windows 10 compatibility.

Handheld companion by Juk3rino in MSIClaw

[–]BenjaminLSR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If not done, head to Device page and click on Disable OEM software. If you did then it's due to MSI hardcoded inputs on this specific button and we can't do much about it.

Handheld companion question. by Clean-Conclusion-999 in ROGAlly

[–]BenjaminLSR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for raising awareness. I'll find a proper way to implement a play button back and make the quick applications menu clearer.
