I'm having an issue on this game- not sure if it's related to Proton. But any time I attempt to play with an Xbox controller, it will show PlayStation prompts. Controls section also includes options for using the DS4 touchpad, which... I do not have. That would make the game pretty much unplayable.

Log is here, using Proton Experimental - steam-960910.log

Only thing I've done troubleshooting wise is switch from Experimental to 9.0-4 and also tried 8.0-5 with no change in result. I've also downloaded ⁨xinput⁩ in Protontricks and tried both ⁨builtin⁩ and ⁨native⁩ options respectively in the libraries tab for winecfg. No change, still PlayStation prompts. I've tried this game with multiple controllers (GameSir G7 Pro and Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament) both of which get read as a PlayStation controller.

As far as I'm aware the game requires Steam Input for controllers, so I cant disable it. I've tried other layouts, Steam Input settings, etc. I just cant seem to get the game to read my Xbox controller as, well.... an Xbox controller. Though it seems to work perfectly on Windows. So this is obviously a quirk of the environment.

Can someone perhaps provide any help or insight?

Hello @Florararie, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title. Please do not intentionally open duplicate compatibility reports.

Closing as a duplicate of #4044.

That's totally fine.

I had already referenced the problem in the original issue here. Wasnt sure if I should just leave it be or open a new issue to get eyes on it. Since it's an issue that leaves the game unplayable for me I wanted to at least ask to see if there was anything known on the topic as searches elsewhere do not turn up much.
