Screenshots of reports of this issue

Environment:

Arch Linux.
64-bit Wine Prefix, Wine-Staging 3.14, DXVK 0.70. 
winetricks: xact, xaudio, xinput, dxvk

Hardware:
Acer Predator Helios 500 (new laptop), i7-8750H, GTX-1070.

Installation:
I purchased the Steam version, that has yet to even start. DRM seems to be the
culprit but I am still unsure. I got as far as UPlay displaying properly but
the game will not start yet. Still working on that in a different wine prefix,
I've worked around with a crack.

Description:
Graphics are perfect, everything seems to work. Get into land vehicles (haven't
tested flying vehicles, water vehicles) and steering left or right doesn't
work. 

Steering left/right in vehciles is by default bound to A (left) and D (right)
respectively. Strafe (on foot) is the same, but it works. A strafes left, D
strafes right. In the vehicle, nothing. Hop out, works.

Attaching screenshots of several places this issue has been reported /
"resolved". None of the listed resolutions seem to have any effect, and those
reporting the issue on Wine/Linux do not list a resolution.

Sites in that screencap in order:
overclock.net
gamingonlinux.com
reddit.com/linux-gaming
ubisoft forums

Two of the screenshots are of the problem in Far Cry 4. Same engine FWIW, just
another data point.

Solutions presented:

-Some people report this problem when they leave their game controllers plugged
in before starting the game. I'm not sure what Far Cry 5 sees in terms of
attached controllers under WINE. One of my thoughts was that WINE may be
emulating something that reproduces this behavior.

I tried attaching a gamepad, configured it under wine control. Nonresponsive.
Lots of people complaining on the Ubi forums about that.

-One individual said driving forward first allowed them to steer, not the case
here.

-Another said adjusting the "steering sensitivity" fixed the issue. Have messed
with this extensively, no resolution.

-I've also tried remapping keys, holding alt/ctrl/shift to see if something is
amiss with the modifiers... nothing.

WINEDEBUG="+dinput" was my first go at trying to track this down... I haven't
seen useful console output yet. 

First bug I've filed, if I need to provide additional information I'm willing
to learn.
