I confirm:

Symptoms

Left stick controller drift when in-game (does not happen in the main-menu).

Camera starts panning in one direction. (Yesterday it was left, today it is downwards, and after a game-restart diagonally down-right.)

Using Proton instead of the native version the stick-drift stops.

Further, whilst using the native build, changing the controller layout back and forth eliminates the drift.

Maybe defaulting to Proton instead of native is a better solution?

Hello @RlndVt, as you noted, Surviving Mars (464920) is a native linux game and is not using Proton on the Steam Deck by default.

I have forwarded this feedback, but this is also invalid for the Proton project and won't be tracked here.
