Playstation controller UI on PC

[same person]

I checked out the new controller support, and it seems to be working nice with a Dualsense controller both with and without DSX, but the UI (i.e. button prompts and stuff) is for Xbox controllers. So, just to clarify, is it something on my end or there is no PS4/PS5 UI in the game?

Did you disable steam input in properties? I have no issue with false prompts on my dualshock4.

Just tried it out, now the prompts are correct, but the game doesn't register any button presses. I managed to get around this with DSX. Finally, no false prompts anymore, looks like steam input really was the culprit, thanks a lot!

Do you not have the annoying thing where the character none stop runs if you move the analog up or down? only way to stop is to move left or right. It also effects turn base combat. I find it odd not everyone has this issue when its a issue that effects e and a few others 100% of the time, from the get go. Not just on steam but also epic games and not just PS4 controller but also Xbox controller.

I'm guessing Steam input requires that you actually own the game on Steam.

You can do add non-Steam games to your steam library. Steam input and proton will work just fine with any manually added game.

Interesting. What about non-game software that can also accept controller inputs?

Same thing.

I turned off Steam Input for this game and used DSX to emulate Dualshock 4, and it worked

Is there an in-game option for changing the prompts to DualShock 4? If not, I hope the devs consider adding it. I use a third-party PS4 controller (that's seen as a generic DirectInput device) through Steam Input and need this option or mods.

I can't, unfortunately, I can only use Steam Input so I need the option or a mod. As I said, my controller is not seen as a DS4, but as a generic DirectInput device.

3rd party is not recognized as DS4.
Only official hid id gamepads are implemented in majority of games.
Everything else falls under generic and that means Xbox
You would need to provide details of your gamepad to owl and ask for support.

DS4windows has some support for 3rd party dualshocks. I strongly suggest u give it a go. It can emulate as DS4 v1

P.S
you will also need to use their feature "rename exe" because steam by default blocks ds4windows

Here is link with some details of supported gamepads.

I have created a thread on DS4Windows's Github page asking for support for my controller, but it has not been added. It is compatible with reWASD, however, but that's a pricey app.

The universal solution to this issue is for the developers to simply add a manual controller prompt switching option to the game. Really hard to understand why all devs don't do this, it will save them a lot of issues and requests, such as this thread.

ryochan7 isn't as active as he once was. Patience

And yes.
Ultimate solution to gamepad button prompts is to add Button icon choice switch to game.
I saw only very few games that did this

Owl might not even be aware of the idea. Or maybe they are but cant i dont know how versatile is unity for such stuff
