Dualshock 4 Controller not working

[Afterburn]

Hi. I have noticed that not too many people have talked about this issue after the new DS4 support was added to Steam.

I have my DS4 controller connected wirelessly to my PC and it works 100% with all my games on Steam, it works perfectly in Steam Big Picture Mode too. However nothing I press on my controller works in this game (Except for the PS button that brings up the Steam Overlay), but the game does recognize it because it shows the DS4 button layout on the screen. It just doesn't react when I press a button.

Are there anyone else that have this problem and is there any way to fix this?

PS. I know I can use third party software to use my controller, like DS4Windows etc., but I want to use my controller without it.

If you use your controller wirelessly, then you should not use steam's support for it anyway for one simple reason: it lacks any means of checking the battery life lol

From what I understand, to use a controller through steam, you need to assign a profile for that game to use a controller. Most newer titles have them already but some do not. Its why when viewing your library in big picture mode, the game will have a keyboard icon on its grid artwork rather than a controller.

Try choosing "manage game" and changing the template to "gamepad" seems to work for most awkward games.

Or just use an x-input wrapper and be able to see battery life and use the controller without such headaches.

Its great valve added native support, but like most things they do, its half-assed to say the least.

Hey SenMithrarin85, thanks for the reply.

I forgot to add that all my games on steam (The ones with Xbox controller support) work with my controller because Steam emulates an Xbox controller with my DS4 controller, however Batman Arkham Knight does not need an emulated Xbox controller to work with DS4 since it has native DS4 support. In other words if I disable Steam controller support for the game, then the controller should still work but it doesn't.

I can enable Steam sontroller support for the game, but then the layout will be in Xbox format, and what is the use of that since the game has native DS4 support.

I also noticed that there is no way for Steam to show your controller's battery percentage (Which is weird). Atleast they could have made it so that your light bar indicates roughly how full your battery is, with color (Like with DS4Windows). Or just displaying the rough percentage in the Steam Overlay, but oh well :).

Why do you want to use your controller without DS4Windows? You can calibrate settings, and the input times are far more accurate. I highly recommend dling the third party support. This game plays flawlessly on my DS4.

Well I have no problem with using DS4Windows, but if the game is supposed to have native support for the DS4, then I would like to have that working. But there is nothing wrong with third party software. I just thought there might be a small workaround out there to get the DS4 working on the game as it's supposed to.

I also have the game on the PS4. If you need help with the layout, let me know. Just imagine an X-BOX controller and replace the letters with symbols.

A (Jump + Run) = X.

X (Punch) = Square.

Y (Block/Counter) = Triangle.

B (a relatively useless button for the game) = Circle.

R2 is the same for crouch. Actually, all trigger buttons are the same as what the game displays.

The D-Pad mapping is universal for all controllers. Whatever direction it shows in the game is the same direction you use on the DS4's D-Pad.

I've had no trouble with running the game with DS4Windows and using the DS4. It's all very intuitive with no issues concerning input reaction times. Fluid and smooth.

I have the same issues. I found this thread through a google search. I'm using it wired by the way and still having the problems. Witcher 3, mad max, darksiders warmaster edition all work with correct prompts if I disable ps4 controller support.

Pylo. Yes I also forgot to say that Rise of The Tomb Raider works perfectly with native Dualshock support without Steam's ps4 controller settings on. Weird that Batman doesn't do the same.

BAK does have native DS4 support, you have to have the controller plugged in before you start the game though.

[Afterburn]

I did. I had it connected wired and wireless before starting the game. It didn't work.

Okay after a while of playing the game wireless with my DS4 as an Xbox One controller in the game, it suddenly stopped working with my controller a few days ago, WTF??? I have tried absolutely everything and nothing helped.

Then I decided to remove my DS4 wireless adaptor and disable steam's PS4 controller support. I then connected my DS4 with a USB cable and then magically it worked again. Not only does it work, but it also displays the DS4 layout instead of the Xbox layout in the game.

This game has issues, lol.

Im having the same problem i tried wireless / bluetooth everything it still doesnt work for me either.

glad this game was 5 bucks ...

Dualshock V2 controllers don't work, only Dualshock V1 controllers do,

[NightsGamingHD01]

my controller shows that it's connented but it will not pick it up either not even with a ps3 controller but thats what happens when you use windows 10 creators. and only different types of games will work not eveyone is going to run out and get xbox one controller for it work. or use DS4 windows. it should have programed in correctly and this have never of be a problem mine shows but when i go to press the X button like it saids nothing happens when i look a controller in the game menu using the keybord it shows the ps4 controller. but the controller done nothing at all so i'm lost my self and i'm not using wireless usb only even changed that the usb ports and nothing

[alterEgo]

Go to controller settings and check ps4 support box. Plug the controller in and start the game keep it wired and it will work.

oh and close ds4windows if you have that running.

Beware this game has hidious controls doesnt matter what you use...
