PS4 Controller (Wireless) still not working at all.

[Zeroa]

After Years and even with Steam's Build in Controller Support Destiny 2 refuses to work with a PS4 Pad via Bluetooth.

It doesn't matter if i turn Steams PS4 Controller API on or off. It just doesn't work. The only time it Works if you use the Steam Controller Template. But this one is Crap.

And no, i don't want to use any third party Software like DS4 or anything else.

any other ideas? and pls.. stop this "just play with mouse/keyboard" ♥♥♥♥. thanks

@Bungie, fix your stuff.

90% of the people I play with use controller (old console players). Im one of the few that doesn't use them but I've never heard of these issues and im pretty sure they use Ps4 controllers too. I previously tried to run an xbox pad for destiny and had a host of issues with it however, so im curious as to the causes.

I also have been having controller issues. I use a Nintendo Switch one and the triggers dont work. I use the gamepad config and nothing works. But if i use the WASD one i can move and stuff, just cant shoot.

Even games without controller support I can use my controller, due to Steams controller config system, like oldschool Half Life. But not Destiny 2?

Such a bizarre bug/oversight that needs addressing! I always play with a wired PS4, but after reading your post I tried wireless... Lo and behold, nothing after trying numerous configs and settings.

yeah, the thing is, on release (battle.net) it worked fine... but after a certain patch it just stopped to be working. i thought on steam it would be working again but nope... no chance at all

[Mental Clarity]

Do you have the steam controller config settings on? If it's trying to use the ps4 as an xinput it won't work. (just a guess I only tried playing with a ps3 controller).

[Kevfactor]

does a controller auto aim for you? i hear thats why people dont have issues with hand cannons and snipers hehe

[Huds]

That's some very helpful input. It's a miracle! Suddenly my controller works over BT now that it's wired and I have an aimbot!

You should really try DS4Windows, I am using it to play with my controller. Have had no issues other than the touchpad also changes your look direction. The version by Ryochan is updated regularly.

[SpitFire92]

@Unsociable Sure, but ds4 offers functions thqt you dont get with the official support.

bluetooth 4.0 doesnt have the required components to use the dualshocks entire features.

works equally well with an xbox one controller for windows.

I'm curious, what features of the ps4 controller aren't supported over bt4? The dongle would be a great solution if it were reasonably priced, but they're well over $100 in my country. I'm just going to wait to buy an xbox controller when the new consoles launch.

There is no feature that is not supported. Even 6-Axis control works just fine. The Dongle is overpriced because its out of production and almost impossible to buy anymore. The only thing the dongle is good for (so far) is that there is a verification implemented that you can use your ps4 controller with psnow (pc) wireless.

same here!! cant get it to work wirelessly, only via wire which i hate!! any help?

I realise this won't help you with your issue but here's something to note. If you can't find a way to make it work and you decide to bite the bullet and get an xbox controller instead don't get one of the new ones. There's an issue where you keep getting randomly thrown out of the game back to desktop. It's not a crash, the game is still running and you can alt tab straight back in but it makes it unplayable. Old xbox one pad works just fine, you will need the microsoft/xbox dongle though but that's not expensive. Either way I hope you find a solution
