Windows drivers inside prefix #46

I know this will sounds a bit strange but I have been able to reproduce this on multiple occasions.

I recently acquired F1 22 and it did not recognize my wheel no matter what I did. Eventually I gave up assuming it was a game issue.

A few days later I noticed a post on vales proton bug tracker about someone who installed the windows drivers inside the prefix and then the wheel was detected and mapped correctly on startup. I was pretty sure it won’t do anything, knowing wine has massive limitation when it comes to driver support, but it did. The wheel is detected and works perfectly.

I then decided to test other titles such as ams2 and acc. With both titles the games did not recognize my previous configuration and I had to recalibrate everything. What really surprised me is that the feel of the wheel and especially the pedals changed a lot after installing the drivers. I race daily and I have very fine settings I always keep, but this changed it quite significantly. Can’t really say if it’s for better or worse but the pedals do provide more depth or range of motion for sure.

Could you shed some light on this perhaps? I honestly feel like this should not have done anything yet it made a big difference.
