Epic Games Store and Steam Deck Controller Input
I am using Steam Deck and some time ago playing games from Epic Games Store worked fine.
But as of a few weeks, Games from the EGS do not default to Controller input. This started after a Heroic Launcher Update.
I found that it defaults to Controller ONLY in Desktop Mode, but when starting from the Steam Gaming Overlay, it does not work.
I always have do load custom Controls from Steam Community to make the Controller Input work.
GOG works totally fine still, its plug and play.
Any ideas?

How did you add games to Steam?

Auto add to Steam when starting the download through Heroic

can you show the controller config for an example game that was added to Steam?

While collecting the Screenshots for you it looks like I found the root cause. I found a custom layout I created a while back for an unoptimized game. I have deleted it and now the Controller Input works correctly. Seems like Steam was defaulting to that one custom layout for every new game.
