Description

No rumble in spots where Visual Stone of Agony beeps. Tested with Visual Stone of Agony enabled and disabled.
Fisherman also states no rumble pack.

Forums claim that DualSense is best supported for rumble and gyro, is this true? I'm mostly curious as to why this is and not much concerned about the rumble actually working. Upstream driver stuff?

Switch has been known to not have rumble support. Some changes in the main branch (which haven't been applied to a Switch release yet, but were testable before we split Switch and Wii U off to their own forks) were reported to have fixed rumble support on Switch, but will have to wait on the port of the next major release of SoH to make it to a Switch release. Won't be fixed for any further MacReady releases.
