This is a short guide on how to enable the controller for Dvinity Original Sin EE
 
 

The Problem

When playing the game, you are not able to use the Controller specific controls. This renders the game nearly unplayable.
 
 
 

The Workaround

Step #1:
 
Open the destkop mode by holding the power switch and selecting switch to desktop
 
 
Step #2:
 
Open the file explorer
 
 
Step #3:
 
On the left side, under devices, select rootfs
 
 
Step #4:
 
Navigate to: usr -> lib
 
 
Step #5:
 
Find the file libSDL2-2.0.so.0 and copy that file
 
 
Step #6:
 
Navigate to the game folder (e.g. by opening steam, Library > Divinity > Right Click > Local Files > Browse…)
 
 
Step #7:
 
Delete the existing libSDL2-2.0.so.1
 
 
Step #8:
 
Paste the copied libSDL2-2.0.so.0
 
 
Step #9:
 
Rename libSDL2-2.0.so.0 to libSDL2-2.0.so.1
 
 
Step #10:
 
Restart your Deck (at least I had to restart it or the game wouldn’t start)
