[help] Nobara freezing when Xbox One controller connected, started after update (lemmy.nz)

I've been using an Xbox One controller with a dongle on my OG Framework laptop running Nobara (GNOME edition) for a number of years with no issues. After a recent system update, now connecting the controller causes freezes.

If I'm in a game (the game I'm playing is Assassin's Creed Rogue), then it freezes the game but I do seem to be able to get out of it so it doesn't seem to be a kernel panic.

If it's still connected when restarting, it will freeze at the login screen and I have to restart.

The system is up to date, and as part of trying to fix this I've updated the driver to this one, as the previous one doesn't seem to be maintained anymore.

Any tips on trouble shooting this further?

Lol I already had that installed as per my OP, but I don't think I restarted afterwards. Must have had the right version installed but the wrong version loaded, as after restarting I think this is fixed. Thanks for confirming it works for you, it seems to have worked for me too!

Edit: Nevermind, it's not solved. It's working for a while, but the game is still crashing eventually 🙁
