Does anyone else see this? Every time I wake up my Deck to continue playing no gamepad input is accepted by the game only keyboard and mouse.

Might be because I'm not running SteamOS but OpenSUSE and start the game from KDE Plasma. But maybe this is an issue on regular Steam Decks as well I can report.

Edit: It's a bug in Proton 10. Thanks guys!

I also run stuff via steamos so I cannot tell much from your setup. However, maybe there is a trick that could potentially work. On the steamos, when you are on to desktopz it is possible to switch between desktop mode and gamepad mode controllers (not sure on exact naming here). You can do this by pressing for a second or two the upper right button from the front (I believe the legend is 3 stripes or similar). On the steamos it changes modes and can help you unblock controls on weird situations.

Maybe this can help?

It helped when I ran a pirated copy through Heroic. I have since bought the game and use Steam Input, so I only get the controls recommended by Steam.

I will try replicating the desktop setup. Maybe switching out of the game and back helps.
