Wireless controller decided to stop working in Forza 6

[u/Former_Property1047]

8bitdo Ultimate 2 on 2.4G setting. Although it also doesn't work on bluetooth, if anyone's curious.

Basically title. It was working fine yesterday, no issue at all. Wanted to play a bit in the morning, no luck. Game just refuses to see it in Dinput, Xinput at all. Steam and the system recognizes the controller just fine. Steam input on/off/default doesn't change anything. The only thing that does is connecting the controller by wire. Same wire and same USB slot that the wifi dongle is connected to.

Fedora 44, GE-Proton 11-7 (latest,but different ones also don't work), 8bitdo Ultimate 2.

NOTHING changed from yesterday. (I even removed my wireless trackball as to make sure it's not conflicting).

Any ideas on how to solve this?

tl;dr: controller worked fine yesterday, doesn't work today. Works by wire, doesn't work when wireless, even though system and steam both see it.
