Description

Xbox One controller not working. Steam controller works in desktop mode only.
Games tested so far: Crysis 3, Mass Effect: Andromeda. Maybe the issue affects all Origin's games.
Based on my experience the issue is caused by Steam client hooking the Origin launcher itself, which prevents to hook the actual game process. This issue is similar on Windows, when you add a non Steam game to your library that requires a launcher to work (i.e. Blizzard's Overwatch).
If you instruct me on how to debug more specific sides of Wine i'll be glad to post more logs.

Research direction

Start by reviewing steam-1238000.log and steam-1282690.log alongside the report's Steam-hooking hypothesis, focusing on the Origin launcher and the tested Crysis 3 and Mass Effect: Andromeda cases. Use the requested Wine debugging guidance to narrow whether the controller failure occurs in the launcher or game process; done requires a reproducible diagnosis or fix for affected Origin games.
