Description

Problem: Wheel Controllers (Logitech G29 Wheel and Feel VR Pedals) not detected in-game.
Games: Project CARS 2 and 3 // Assetto Corsa

Repro:
Fresh default install of Manjaro 20.2 following these steps:

  1. Boot Manjaro 20.2 Live CD / Install on a formatted SSD (no previos OS or info on that disk) with Proprietary Drivers (nVidia)
  2. Run a full system update (only 1 package updated at the moment of the test on December 6th 2020)
  3. Launch Steam, log in.
  4. Enable SteamPlay with latest Proton Version (5.13-2)
  5. ReLaunch steam
  6. Install the game (any of the listed above)
  7. Launch it and try to configure the controls.
  8. Game won't detect any input.

If I go back to SteamPlay version and force 5.0-10, Game works perfectly and detects the controller input in all games.
Going back to 5.13 WILL NOT fix the issue.

System Specs:
OS: Manjaro 20.2 / Kernel 5.9.11-3
Proton: 5.13-2
Three different system hardware tested with same results:
-X570 Pro platform with AMD 5800x nVidia 3080
-B450 platform with Ryzen 3600 nVidia 1660
-DELL XPS 9560 Laptop (Intel 7700HQ) nVidia 1050

-Logitech G29 Steering Wheel controller
-FeelVR Pedal Set

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing controller detection in Project CARS 2, Project CARS 3, or Assetto Corsa with Proton 5.13-2, then compare behavior with Proton 5.0-10 on the listed Manjaro setup. Done means the Logitech G29 and Feel VR pedals are detected in-game under 5.13-2.
