It seems like my 3dconnexion spacemouse, thrustmaster TWCS throttle and two VKB Gladiator flightsticks were causing it to not find any actual controllers, im running arch linux on a desktop pc
another bug i just found is that in fullscreen on an ultrawide monitor, the actual game area in the tutorial isnt onscreen, my ultrawide monitor has an aspect ratio of 32:9
the same monitor is also causing problems with speed due to it being 120Hz, but that can be changed (VRR) or by disabling vsyn
