Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Chrono Trigger
  • Steam AppID of the game: 613830

System Information

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Controller (Xbox Elite Series 2) does not work when reconnecting after a disconnect using (Proton Experimental, Hotfix, and 11.0-2. This isn't a problem in other games. Proton 10.0-4 works fine and reconnects properly. Proton 9.0-4 reconnects properly, but doesn't work right (stuck with up input). This seems to be similar to issue 7952, but for this game only. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7952

Reproduction

Start game with Proton Experimental, Hotfix, or 11.0-2, disconnect or power off controller then reconnect it.
