Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Mar 28 2022 16:07:01
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

The new beta breaks steam controller input, but only on certain games(need to test that more though). The games that I verified do not work (Dark Souls Remastered and Elden Ring) no longer detect any controller input after updating to this beta. After opting out of the beta and restarting steam, the games recognize the inputs. This seems to be a steam client issue, not a proton issue.

Logs and whatnot:
