PS5 controller does not work in this game

[Oganesson.z118 👑]

...it doesn't matter whether i enable or disable steam input or launch from big picture...

I was expecting this to 'just work' with my PS5 controller, given this game was made for the PS5....

Having weird issues with a ps5 controller too. Analog sticks work in game, but I can't jump/swing. So the face buttons aren't working.

Have tried with DS4Windows and without DS4Windows using Steam input and still no go..

Mine is being completely ignored by the game. Steam recognises it's connected, but the game is just being rude and ignoring my poor little controller D:

Well, I just rebooted and now it's working fine and even has that enhanced vibration the dualsense is capable of. Even has adaptive triggers when playing wirelessly. Maybe the simplest solutions are the answer and you should just try a reboot.

Now I'm just wondering if the controller is supposed to be vibrating on every step I take lol.

[Blight Yoakam]

Working fine for me. I have mine connected through blue tooth.

[Dusk]

It's happening to me too but with a xbox 360 controller, sudently stops working.

[MimicMachine]

As a heads up.
Anyone having some weird controller issues might try changing the controller layout in big picture mode as that fixed a few of my issues.

Here are a couple of things you can try:

Try disabling Steam Input: right click the game in Steam, select Properties, choose Controller and select Disable Steam Input.

Try disconnecting any other controllers that might be connected to your system.

Try a different connection method for your controller, such as a different USB port, or try a wired connection instead of wireless.

If that does not help, please contact support here: https://insom.games/RatchetPCSup and supply as much information as possible. Thanks!

After seeing this I tried restarting and I did change something - now I get some control in game, but it isn't working properly, it seems to suddenly stop working every few seconds

EDIT: After relaunching with no other changes it has changed to not detecting the PS5 controller in game at all - despite the controller being fully functional in steam big picture immediately prior and being used to launch the game

I have tried with steam support both enabled and disabled. There are no other controllers connected to my system and i tried turning off my mouse to see if it helped, it didn't.

I own a PS5 controller, it is wireless. I have used it wirelessly for many other PC games with no issues. This game was developed for the PS5, I expect to be able to use a wireless connection with my PS5 controller.

Mine was working at first. Then I decided to move the game over to a much faster ssd and suddenly it stopped working. The analog sticks are working and the x button is working, but nothing else works. It's very weird because it was working flawlessly the first time

I restarted my computer and it is now suddenly working again... weird

I don't know if this will help someone but, if you are using DS4, you need to close it because the game already detects your controller and DS4 will make it not work

No, that's not how this works. The native input API SONY publishes for their controllers (libScePad) only supports USB wired connections, or wireless controllers paired to a USB dongle.

Steam Input has its own Bluetooth driver for DualSense, if a game supports wireless DualSense it's because it has no native support for the controller and is using Steam Input (ugh) instead.

Controller worked fine for me.. Even got to experience the haptic triggers for the first time. But I am on Linux if that helps anyone.

[walkemdown2hell.vontae]

I had a similar issue. Button combos didn't seem to work. Such as walk and then jump. Or walk and swing wrench. Restarting computer fixed this instantly. Although I did also disable steam input. This was on a gulikit kingkong 2 pro for reference over bluetooth

It doesn't do that on the PS5 version, so I'm not sure why it does on PC. I even have them set to the same "experiential" setting. The PS5 only occasionally vibrates and has different trigger haptics.
