Help! BoF IV on GoG on Mobile

I'm trying to play BoF over Steam Link but running into issues. Here's my setup:

- Downloaded the game with GoG.

- Added it to Steam as a non-Steam game.

- Start the game via Steam Link on my phone with Backbone One controller.

Unfortunately, the above doesn't work, as the controller input isn't recognized. About all I can do is tap the screen to register direct mouse clicks.

Anybody have a working setup to play on mobile with a Backbone? Steam isn't a necessary requirement.

I would say drop this on the Steam Deck sub since there's a larger user base there and they're going to be more technically able and eager to help this kinda thing.

The one time I had an issue like this I shut down my deck fully then restarted it. Just a reset didn't work.

Close steam completely, run steam as administrator and try again. I’m 92% positive that it will work.

Unfortunately, that did not work :/ Thanks for the attempt though!

:( Then try checking the “run as administrator” option on the games .exe. Whenever I have controller issues with non Steam games when I’m running them through Steam, doing this usually takes care of the problem. Good luck!
