Really weird issue with The Witcher

Hi guys. I recently changed my OS to archlinux and tried loading The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and had this really weird issue.

the W key does not work! Not in the gameplay and not even for scrolling through options in the main menu.

Really curious if anyone encountered this issue before cause I cannot find it anywhere

(-_-)

note:

Yes I have checked the key bindings

Yes I have tried several Proton versions with no help

Yes I have upgraded the Vulkan drivers
