PS4 controller forever. It ‘just works’ and I’m used to it after the decades. Can’t stand the PS5 controller. It feels too big like the first xbox controller.

Laaaaaame. At least you managed to get a refund!

I take it you’re aware of protondb and tried the suggestions there? There’s a few people reporting recently that it works fine for them. Maybe recent updates have fixed issues

You may as well. Proton on Steam is really effective and with GE I haven’t had a game be unplayable for a while. I don’t really care for modern loot box gambling simulator paid public alpha type games though, so YMMV.
