In Genshin Impact in particular, you have to set "Controller" as your Control Type in the settings every time the game opens. It goes back to Touchscreen by default upon exit.

The problem:

Connect a controller to the mac.
Open Genshin Impact via PlayCover
Set the Controller as the Control Type in the game settings.
Close the game.
Re-open the game.
The Control Type reset itself to Touch controls.

Describe the solution you'd like

A way for PlayCover to tell Genshin Impact that a controller is connected before the game opens

Anything else?

In iOS, Genshin Impact remembers the controller even when you exit, so that you can start playing without having to change it in the game settings every time. This is a feature I would love to see
