I'm using Heroic launcher to play games lately, otherwise have used Lutris or Steam or Faugus etc. I got Dead Rising 2 and have run into this issue of it won't register (in game) that I'm using a controller, or would like to. In all the other games that I have played on any of these platforms, controller support is wonderful. I'm running CachyOS on my machine, so no issues here either. This particular problem had persisted despite using CachyOS, Nobara, PikaOS, or standard Ubuntu. I'm about to start pulling my hair out as I don't know what's causing this. Everything is up to date, and runs smoothly otherwise. I just can't get this game to let me use the controller I have. It even has settings in game specifically for controllers. What do I do? Thank you.
You have mentioned the controller works well with other games, correct? If so, a few things I would look into:
If Steam recognizes the controller you are off to a good start. You can test functionality is working from a site like https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad
In Heroic Games, you can click on your Dead Rising 2 in the library, from here you click on the dots (or the 3 bars, unable to verify as I am not at my home machine) at the top right and can go into 'Game Properties' to rename the game as TachyonTele mentioned. You will also see that on this menu there is a quick way to add the game to Steam. After you fix the name, try adding it this way. Try launching the game from Steam, then go into settings -> keyboard/controller and try to default the config and see if this resolves the troubles!
