Bug ID: 58046
           Summary: Horizon Chase Turbo: gamepad hotplugging doesn't work
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.4
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: dinput
          Assignee: [e-mail]

`WINEDEBUG=+dinput`, launch game with one gamepad, disonnected, reconnected.

In Horizon Chase Turbo (tested Epic Games Store version), gamepads are only
usable if they have always been connected since the game has been launched.
Otherwise, their inputs are completely ignored, and these gamepads will not be
listed in the player mapping screen (Multiplayer). This is not the case on
Windows.

The only exception is in the title screen: "Press Any Button" does work with
hotplugged gamepads.

Logs are taken on a fresh prefix with `WINEDEBUG=+dinput`. Without this, the
only dinput-related log is:
```
0208:fixme:dinput:hid_joystick_device_try_open device usage ff72:00a1 not
implemented!
```

Still an issue on Wine 10.11.

Also, I tested that the issue isn't due to dinput (I tried replacing it with
the dll from Windows, and the issue persists). Same with xinput.

Investigating further, I found that the game for input uses a Unity plugin
named InControl. Other games use it:

For anyone wanting to reproduce the issue, one of these games is small and
free, and the gamepad doesn't work even without disconnecting it first (inputs
don't do anything, though the game always detects whether the gamepad is
connected). https://mattrix.itch.io/bewarewolf
