Symptoms

I tried running nier:Automata with proton and the game works fine but my Xbox One (wired) gamepad seems to be not recognized. Steam and other games work with the controller, i tried also installing xboxdrv custom driver but it didn't help, and i even tried all versions of proton with no success. The odd thing is that the gamepad works fine on cinnamon and ubuntu.
