Using gamescope causes controller to not work

I'm running a game with gamescope (monster hunter rise), and when I do, my controller no longer gets picked up by the game. I'm using gamescope with this command:
DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -f --hdr-enabled -W 2560 -H 1440 -- %command%
DXVK_HDR=1 gamescope -f --hdr-enabled -W 2560 -H 1440 -- %command%


The command seems to otherwise be working. I've tried adding the
-e
-e
arg as well as I read somewhere that that can help with controller issues, but that just makes the window not fit my screen properly, still with controller issues.

I've also tried messing with steam input on/off. Nothing there worked

This is on bazzite with KDE.
AMD 7800XT if that's relevant
Solution
upstream issue, gamescope breaks steam stuff and you need to set the desktop layout for steam input to "gamepad" for it to work
