hi all, sorry for bad english

i plugged in my ds4 to the laptop, then type command

ls /dev/input/by-id/

lrwxrwxrwx   9 root 13 июн 21:55  usb-Logitech_Wireless_Receiver-event-mouse -> ../event6
lrwxrwxrwx   9 root 13 июн 21:55  usb-Logitech_Wireless_Receiver-mouse -> ../mouse0

lrwxrwxrwx   9 root 13 июн 22:07  usb-Sony_Computer_Entertainment_Wireless_Controller-mouse -> ../mouse3

ok, looks well, i suppose

then i start steam's game - and controller doesn't work, i type prev command again

ls /dev/input/by-id/

lrwxrwxrwx 9 root 13 июн 21:55  usb-Logitech_Wireless_Receiver-event-mouse -> ../event6
lrwxrwxrwx 9 root 13 июн 21:55  usb-Logitech_Wireless_Receiver-mouse -> ../mouse0

wow, no ds4 files at all

it happens exactly when I start the game, if I end game and replug controller it creates files again and they will be deleted when I start the game

if I replug controller during game still running - it not creates any files and controller would not work

ok, problem was in proton-ge-custom, changed it to GE-PROTON7-16 and problem is gone. The game was Elden Ring by the way
