Read Comment 8 by Olivier F. R. Dierick 2019-10-05 12:52:28 CDT. This bug is still present in the wine 4.17
I tried out that Wine 4.17 version and some later versions too (up to the current latest 5.0rc2) with some games that I legally own. None of them produced this bug in any Wine versions. And even Oliver can't reproduce this bug with freeware games. Not to mention that Wine version is very outdated, try it with the latest versions first.
If updating Wine still doesn't fix the problem for you, please post about it again and finally provide the required informations!!! Oliver several times asked for it, but you still doens't provided anything that needed to confirm that bug is really there...
It seems that is only you who have this problem, so it maybe not Wine. It can be something in your system like your mouse or keyboard recongnised as a joystick. Some fancy keyboards have keys or wheels that are wrongly recognized as joystick. Check that no other device is detected as a controller with these commands in terminal:
ls /dev/input/js* and ls /dev/js*
If there is no files starting with "js" in those folders, we can say; this is not the problem.
If those commands list some files, than your mouse or keyboard is recognised as controllers.I never had this problem, so ask Oliver how to fix it. He provided this information in another releated thread.
