Dualsense controller not working?

[MmmmTaterss]

Anybody else? found a fix? nothing I do is working. Haven't tried DS4 yet, but it says it fully supports dualsense controller yet nothing happens. Even in steam input mode it still isn't working for me.

Yeah there is no native dualsense support in the game.
The demo doesn't support dinput, it supports xinput, dunno if that will be the case in full game.
Anyway dualsense works with steaminput.
Steam input only works with steam overlay, not without it, if you ever disabled steam overlay then you were never using steam input, but the native support of whatever controller input type you were using.

If it still doesn't work go to steam settings - controller.
Make sure controller your dualsense is actually working in there first.
Also you maybe have to set in steam library for the game or while in the game in overlay with controller configuration default gamepad layout, maybe it's defaulting to a wrong layout.

I'm using dualsense and works fine with steam input, just toggled it on in steam overlay. In steam settings I use "enabled in games w/o Support", if a game has proper native support for it, I'll want that to be used by default, if it doesn't work, then I just manually set it to steam input.
All the other controller type options are disabled: xbox, switch and generic in steam controller settings.

It literally says it supports dualsense natively. Steam goes out of it's way to say you're good to go, and then the controller acts as if it's not even plugged in. Something is busted.

Same! Annoying.

Just installed the demo and was excited to try the game out and ran into the same issue. I noticed PS5 controllers have problems running in a lot of games while Xbox controllers almost work for everything. Although I have an Xbox controller I don't like it. It's too big for my small Asian hands.

I just use DS4Windows, to avoid weird cases like this. Possibly a decent option to use occasionally when you run into issues with games that should natively support it, instead of having to swap controllers.

Just played the demo with my PS5 controller. Worked fine. Only issue was it showed Xbox controller icons but that's not a dealbreaker. I use a wired connection if that is different from your setup.

There's a difference between "supporting the controller", and saying the controller is supported natively. Yes you can get a PS5 controller working, but you're going to have to use Steam Controller or DS4. So no haptic vibration, no adaptive triggers, or any other Dualsense features. If you're cool with that: That's okay. The game should just advertise itself differently on the main-page. Because every-other game that's advertised as DualSense compatible on Steam from my experience not only works by just plugging it in, but actually has those features.
Hell even RoboCop had adaptive triggers.

Lets say I have downloaded the game from internet. And I cant use the dualsense. Do you know what could I do?

[torbo]

Nope, you have to use steam imput, no native support. i just switched to my xseries one lol

Developers do this with so many games. It's like they think that because the dualsense works with steam input they think that means the game has native support when it actually doesn't. They should only say the game fully supports dualsense when the controller works WITHOUT having to use steam input.
