Bug ID: 58380
           Summary: dinput Controllers (i.e. Sony DualSense / DualShock)
                    don't work properly with Ubisoft Games
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: dinput
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Using DirectInput controllers like the Sony Dual Shock or Dual Sense
controllers don't work properly in games launched via Ubisoft Connect.
Tested with several Wine versions (9.x, 10.x) and several launchers (Steam,
Bottles, Lutris).

The controller works fine in Ubisoft Connect and can control the surface, also
showing the correct icons for buttons, so it is indeed identified as a Sony
controller.

However, in game it is not properly passed through. In Far Cry games (which
officially support Sony controllers) nothing happens. If you disconnect and
reconnect the controller during gameplay the UI elements switch to Playstation
icons (X, Triangle, Circle etc.), however, all inputs from the controller are
ignored. In Assassin's Creed Origins it *kind of* works but it's constantly
alternating between keyboard and Sony input mapping and thus making inputs very
slow and laggy. Also the buttons are mapped incorrectly.

The controllers work in other games that support these controllers that are not
by Ubisoft. XInput Controllers work perfectly fine in Ubisoft Games.

Terminal output of running Ubisoft Connect

Terminal output of running Ubisoft Connect, Far Cry 5 and connecting DualSense
controller. Chapters are marked (there might be something missing early of the
start of Far Cry, the messages were coming in too fast and older lines were
deleted before I could save them).

The only line pointing to the controller is this:
