Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/285

I’m seeing the following error: when I start a Steam session, leave the stream (without stopping the container), and then reconnect, the rumble no longer works.
Steps to reproduce

Connect to the Steam Docker via wolf‑ui.
Open Steam → Settings → Controller Test and start the test.
Verify that rumble works.
Leave the stream using the controller shortcut (without stopping the container).
Re‑connect to the stream.

Observed behavior
Rumble does not work after the reconnection.

Expected behavior
Rumble should continue to function after leaving and re‑joining the stream.

Current configuration
All permissions and udev rules have been set according to the quick‑start guide.

Workaround
Close wolf‑ui and recreate the container; rumble works again after a fresh start.

Controllers tested

Xbox controller
DualSense (PlayStation) controller

Additional note
Stopping the Steam container via wolf‑ui, or stopping the wolf‑ui container via Moonlight, does not resolve the issue.

Streaming devices used

Apple TV
Android TV
MacOS

I don't have dualsense controller. I tested this on my controller on XBOX mode, PS mode and the new mode i am working on. And this seems to fix it as far as i tested. (https://github.com/TheZireael/wolf/commit/be2fa39f1fba26ebc3564422827d60693c9b5e9f)

But be cautious about it, it needs a human review. I dont understand C++ well, AI used on this commit. It can be said that it is vibe coded to be honest.
