The fix that @who@feddit.org (installing the game-devices-udev package) fixed it for me without having to switch to the version of steam from my native package manager. Thanks for the idea though, I had been considering trying it before but in the past the graphics drivers seemed to work better for me when using the flatpak version.
Okay wow, I had no idea that package existed and I haven’t seen any mentions of it before. Installing it from the AUR actually fixed it for me. (LEGO lotr seems to work at least)
Thank you for that tip, can’t believe the solution is so simple, lol. (I have already spent multiple hours trying to fix it)
I have only ever used the controller in it’s wired mode since it’s easier and I never play from more than 5m away from my computer.
Would you mind explaining how this fixes it? I have never looked into udev rules.
I saw it’s on nix too.
