Finally, I can't believe such a minor issue took months to fix. Having to use a controller non-wirelessly felt like I'm back to the ps2 days.

I wonder what rendering issues with Avowed they're referring to. I tried it on my Steam Deck, and I didn't notice many issues beyond a generally low framerate (thanks Unreal Engine 5).
