I verified that my controller’s rumble worked fine, yet I had no controller rumble in Silksong. I fixed it by forcing Proton 9.0-4 in Silksong’s settings:

  1. Navigate to: Steam Library>Silksong>right-click>Properties>Compatibility
  2. Check “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”
  3. Select “Proton 9.0-4” from the dropdown.

It seems that Silksong has inherited the same controller rumble issue as Hollow Knight with the native build [1].

      Ugh, it’s incredible. Hollow Knight has been one of my favourite games for years, and thus far my expectations for Silksong have actually been exceeded, not just met. Utterly loving it.
