Game controllers not working Looks like some sort of update has messed up game controllers. Using an Xbox Series X controller with FFXIV, and the game is saying device can not be located. Others are having a similar issue with CoD and other games outside of Steam. (Controller works in Steam). Any help would be appreciated. Controller does appear in the Bluetooth menu, and when I identify it in the Game Controllers menu it vibrates. Any help would appreciated.

8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller vs macOS 13.6.1 Hello everyone, few days ago I bought the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller. It works with an iPhone 13 and iOS 16, but on my MacBook Pro M1 with macOS 13.6.1 it doesn't work. The controller has the latest firmware, I can pair it with the MacBook via bluetooth, but the "Game controller" section in "System Settings" is missing. So, I searched "Game Controllers" in Spotlight, and it lists Game Controllers in system settings, but when I click on it, this pop-up message appears "You can’t open the Game Controllers settings pane because it is not available to you at this time." I've followed all the guides I found on the internet to solve the issue, but none of them have worked. This 8BitDo controller is officially supported by Apple from macOS 13.2 Thank you in advance.
