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

KCD2 started to not recognizing my xbox controller anymore. I tried updating to latest firmware of the controller, which did not help. Disabling/Enabling steam input did not help. But in the game settings in the controller submenu, it said mouse and scrolling down Dual Sense (no dual sense connected). So i plugged in my PS5 controller and voila, it worked.

Edit: I forgot to add that i did not see that behaviour in any other games i play with the xbox controllers.

Reproduction

I do not exactly know how to reproduce, it suddenly occured. On my system it is reproducible using either (lsusb) this: Microsoft Corp. Xbox One Controller nor that one: Microsoft Corp. Xbox Controller.

Support of developer stops when they hear linux.
