[Help] Joystick not working in Hot Wheels Unleashed (lemmy.world)

I’m new to the Steam Deck and I haven’t really been in the PC gaming scene since Quake 3/Unreal Tournament more than 2 decades ago. So, I have a lot to learn. (I have a small child and we’ve been exploring the world of games on the Switch)

Said small child is really into hot wheels, so we picked up Hot Wheels Unleashed on the last steam sale. We’ve played it successfully for the last couple of weeks, but all of the sudden (today) the game stopped working right. When driving a car, the joystick won’t let the car turn left. It works going to the right, and it works going left on the in-game menus. (And it works on other games, so it’s not a hardware issue)

Since I’m so new to the steam deck, I really haven’t learned how to debug it yet. I tried changing the Proton version with any success, and I’ve tried some different keyboard layouts without success. I’ve tried the reboot solution and verified that I’m on the latest version of steamOS and the game.

Is there a standard set of steps to debug these type of problems?

You were right. There is an in-game controller settings menu that got changed. So, that fixed my problem! Thanks for the help!
