[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?

Does it work that way? Or do you have to make sure there's not the files hanging in a folder somewhere?

I found there were other versions installed via repositories (as opposed to the make file installed version). Tidied all that up, removed everything, restarted, and installed the one from github as per the instructions. Same thing.

I did work out something new, though. It's specifically when I enable the eagle vision in Assassin's Creed (Rogue) that it freezes. And it still happened without the controller connected.

My suspicion is that the controller driver thing solved one problem, but there are still more issues that aren't controller related...

Other potential hints, when playing Hades (the rougelike) the lighting is now messed up, going dark at certain times based on where I'm standing. It was working fine before. This is only in the DirectX version, the Vulkan one works fine.

I have also tried regenerating pre-compiled shaders in steam and have tried using Proton Experimental.

Any other ideas?
