Troubleshooting

Gamepad controls are not detected

If you are using the flatpak version, you might need to give it permission to access udev as read-only.

In order to do so, you can do either of the following:

• Through the GUI

  • Open the Flatseal application
  • Choose the GeForce NOW Electron application in the left sidebar
  • Scroll down to the Filesystem section
  • Click on the Add button to the right of Other files
  • Write /run/udev:ro in the newly-created empty textbox

• Through the command-line

flatpak --user override --filesystem=/run/udev:ro io.github.hmlendea.geforcenow-electron

Steam Deck controls are not detected

You will need to launch the application with the --filesystem=/run/udev:ro argument.

1. Open the settings menu for the app

2. Open Properties

3. Add the command-line argument

If that didn't fix the issue, you could also try this fix.
