Controller isn't working when using Lutris through Steam (self.linux_gaming)

Hi all, I tried creating a Steam shortcut through lutris but my controller isn't detected -I'm trying to play it via Steam Link.

Normal Steam games appear to work fine, and from everything I've seen online it should just work.

I had a very similar issue with Heroic Games Launcher (streaming to steam link, steam shortcut added, game thought I was using mouse and keyboard instead of controller). I fixed it by enabling "minimize heroic on game launch" in Heroic's options. Maybe see if something similar exists for Lutris

It's definitely something like this - from what I can tell the controller hasn't moved "focus" to the game as I can still hear the Steam Big Picture menu making noise etc.
