Issue description

When starting Heroic Games Launcher from the ES Ports section (using the .sh file as described in the wiki), all games have incorrectly mapped buttons. Button A is mapped to B; Button B is mapped to Button X; Button Y is mapped to L1. Probably others are wrong too.

When launching Heroic from a terminal, buttons are mapped as expected.

I believe this issue was introduced in v41, as I recall v40 working fine.

Detailed reproduction steps

Install Heroic Games Launcher flatpak as described in the wiki
Launch HGL from a terminal as described in the wiki.
Install a game (in my case I used Atari Mania from Epic Store)
Confirm buttons are mapped as expected.

Create the .sh launcher file for the Ports section of ES, as described in the wiki
Launch HGL from within the Ports section of ES.
Launch the same game as above.
Confirm button mapping is now wrong.

Details of any attempts to fix this yourself

I tried a few different Wine versions, but nothing changed.
I installed batocera 41 on a fresh USB stick, and confirmed the same behavior as my real system.

I now have to run HGL from the terminal.

Details of any modifications you have made to Batocera.

None.

Logs and data

I'm happy to provide any logs, but I'd need instructions as to what specifically would be useful.
