Dualshock 4 support

[SuicideBroccoli]

How can I enable the PS4 prompts?
I've read that you just need to plug in the controller and the game will change to PS4 button layout but I can only get the Xbox buttons ...
Tried with V1 and V2 controller, wired and over bluetooth, turned on and off the dualshock controller support in steam
Am I missing something?

you need the ds4 offical adapter to use the ps4 controller with the ps4 layout becuase in order to use a ds4 controller over blutooth on a game like this you have to emulate it as a xbox controller

Ive had Ps4 controller prompts when i had game on Rockstar Launcher. On steam it changed to xbox controller buttons with no option to change it back.

if you're having problems with XBOX button prompts while using ps4 controller, go to controller settings on steam, uncheck Playstation Configuration Support. you're welcome.

To get PS4 prompts work the controller must be turned off before changing the support option for ps4 controller (in wireless mode). So the right order of doing things is:

1) turn controller off
2) make sure if the ps4 support option is unchecked (!) or now uncheck it
3) confirm
4) turn your controller on
5) launch the game

Works for me in every game that has problems with it (RDR or The Witcher 3 for example). The controller and the game must always be switched off when changing this option.

The pad must always be disconnected when changing this option.

This was the answer I was looking for.

Thank you so much

So my solution was this (tried what has been mentioned here). I edited the profile for the controller in DS4Windows, went to the "other" tab... all the way at the bottom it said "controller: Xbox 360". When i changed that to Dualshock 4 - I was all set. I didn't go looking for that setting first because the image of my controller in DS4Windows was clearly a PS4 controller. Booted up Red Dead 2 and voila - all good.

Were you still able to have rumble and PS4 button prompts?

hey thanks for the info. Wondering when you say "The pad must be turned off before" what do you mean by 'the pad'? Also, can you confirm that you are getting rumble and PS4 button prompts while in game? oh, and are you running the controller wired or bluetooth?

Hi, I'm sorry, in my country we used to call the controller a pad and for some reason that's what I wrote :D I have already corrected my original post, It should be more readable now. And yes, if you do everything in the right order, everything works as it should. I'm using a bluetooth connection.

It didn't work here and I don't know how to fix it.

I hope you didn't make the same mistake as me. I misread the instructions and turned the PS4 support back on after I turned it off. Just turn it off and leave it off.

thank you all for info

I don't use DS4. I use an adapter. Is there an alterative route? I would use DS4 but i can't do wireless. it'll randomly disconnect.

[bodybeefy]

it doesnt work for me when in big picture mode or normally
