Describe the Bug

enabling steam input for Unleashed Recompiled as a non-steam game completely disables any controller inputs.
i am using an Xbox Series S Controller, and the official rpm of Steam. this isn't an issue on my Steam Deck, i've tried disabling every mod and the issue is still there, and i doubt any of the codes are causing it
playing with a controller works fine with steam input disabled

Steps to Reproduce

have a controller plugged in, add unleashed recompiled to steam as a non-steam game, enter the controller configurator and enable steam input, then launch the game

Expected Behavior

game recognizes my controller inputs and lets me start the game

Additional Context

No response

Reproduce the issue by adding Unleashed Recompiled to Steam as a non-Steam game, enabling Steam Input in the controller configurator, and launching it on Fedora Linux. Trace the controller-input path and Steam Input handling from that entry point; done means the Xbox Series S Controller is recognized and can start the game with Steam Input enabled.
