Describe the problem

I have a "FutureMax Deluxe v3" dance mat, which is not recognized by Outfox (and Stepmania) on Linux. I know the hardware works fine, because I can use it normally on Windows with Outfox (and Stepmania).

I am not the only one to have this issue. I first discovered this old Ubuntu bug report, which gives a lot of details and eventually points to stepmania/stepmania#1745. Unfortunately, that PR apparently didn't make it into Outfox (hard to be 100% sure without access to the source code...).

So my request is simple: please apply the same patch to Outfox, so that I don't have to use Windows just to play :)

Thanks in advance!

what 'patch' do you speak of here? and can you join the discord so we can see if it's actually seen or not in the OS/game?

The patch I mentioned is the change in the PR linked above: stepmania/stepmania#1745. It fixes the issue in Stepmania, so I'm hoping that a similar fix will be added to Outfox.

I have just joined the discord as "ipkiss", but I have never used discord before so I'm not sure what to do there.
