  1. 1.0 1.1 Notes regarding Steam Play (Linux) data:

    Confirmed by opening Steam Input Controls Layout page and viewing the config in action. All Game Actions are assigned to a single Action Set, making button remapping more tedious.

    Usually, an average SIAPI-supported game would organize Game Actions by each Action Sets (like "In-Game", or "Menu"), but this isn't the case here.
