PSA: If your controller rumble isn't working in Silksong, then try forcing Proton in the game's properties on Steam (sh.itjust.works)

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:

Navigate to: Steam Library>Silksong>right-click>Properties>Compatibility
Check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"
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]^.

No rumble on native version

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.
