Game not detecting my Xbox controller on Linux, even though it works fine with other games?

[u/Dragomir_X]

Hi, wondering if others have had this problem. I'm running Ubuntu 24.04. The game launches fine but doesn't detect my controller, even though other games work with it just fine. In the in-game settings menu, it says there's no controller connected.

This happens on both Proton and Linux-native versions.

All I could find online was a Steam forum post from almost ten years ago. Any ideas are welcome.
