ps5 button prompts not appearing in games that support it

I’m using a ps5 controller I don’t get any button prompts in games that support it. I’m using proton experimental bleeding edge and openSUSE tumbleweed. I tested it with god of war in heroic games launcher and sons of the forest on steam with steam input disabled

nothing we can do, that's always a game-side issue. if the game actually does support it, then you need to reach out to them in some way

So if the ps5 prompts appear for a game when using windows but they don't appear when using proton, its a game side issue?

Well, first use wine. Second, post logs if you want help. Third, yes it is widely a game issue.

I am using wired. Is it possibly an issue of SDL instead of hidraw being used? I'll try it with wine-ge later to see if I have the same issue Same issue with wine-ge on gog games. No ps5 prompts for games that support the ps5 controller specifically Witcher 3 and god of war

this was an intentional change in wine-ge to make games that don't support dualsense controllers in their code continue to work properly you could try wine-staging which doesn't have this limitation anymore i think wine staging does something different that makes it work with everything

Did the change occur in Proton too?
