I'm using Heroic launcher to play games lately, otherwise have used Lutris or Steam or Faugus etc. I got Dead Rising 2 and have run into this issue of it won't register (in game) that I'm using a controller, or would like to. In all the other games that I have played on any of these platforms, controller support is wonderful. I'm running CachyOS on my machine, so no issues here either. This particular problem had persisted despite using CachyOS, Nobara, PikaOS, or standard Ubuntu. I'm about to start pulling my hair out as I don't know what's causing this. Everything is up to date, and runs smoothly otherwise. I just can't get this game to let me use the controller I have. It even has settings in game specifically for controllers. What do I do? Thank you.

Does it register your controller if you play it theough Steam? Im thinking steam input might help you.

Unless you have a sony controller. Then good luck.

    I'll see what I can do. Should I just run Heroic through Steam? I should have mentioned the game is a repack.

    I just add the game exe as a non steam game, set compatible to proton 10, and game away.
    I have plenty of GoG and Fitgirl games. The only game ive ever had to give up on was Axiom Verge

    Edit: i dont use heroic or anything. Just steam.

    I attempted this, however I'm still having the same controller issue. Is there a way to look for community layouts for specific games? It doesn't seem to give me that option, let alone register that I'm using a controller with the exception of enabling big picture mode with the Home button.

    If you name the game correctly in your library steam should be able to show community layouts for the game.

    I don't know how it would only register the home button. Is it a weird controller?

    I mean, I guess it's not a major brand or anything but it's nice for what it is. How to you rename the game? All it seemed to give me an option for was just adding the exe and that was it.

    (Edit) it's a Gamesir {Zikway}
