Hmm wierd, I did install it but I did not use the program, I only uh.. pluged the controller with the PC on a wire and it detects it natively.

PS4 Controller is natively supported for Arkham Knight. Proper button prompts and everything. Just plug and play.

[Mr.Hmm]

oh, well didnt know.

Now I do :) thanks so for games that dont have native controll inpumappet is a good way to remap buttons.

if you have it from the epic games store when it was free does it still support ps4 controller?

[Mr.Hmm]

What a necromancy, but possibly yes.

old thread it ooollllldd.

BAK natively supports the DS4. No wrappers or mappers or even steam support is needed. Just plug the sucker in and the game should directly recognize it.

I plugged mine in, and its not working.. lol

That's probably because the game only support the DS4 V1 natively and not the V2. I solved this issue by using the DS4Windows Software but you can also try to install a mod for it, in case it doesn't work for you.

I had actually forgotten about that, but yeah, there is a known compatibility issue with the DS4 V2. DS4win will work around that, but to be clear, it's an xinput wrapper, so it will emulate an xbox controller, and thus will not give DS4 prompts. (I'm fairly, but not 100% sure about that as i've never tested it myself, but this is typically what happens when you use controller wrappers, because Xbox360/xbone controller emulators is what they really are.)

If you put the DS4 "Flag", it actually utilize the Playstation Prompts.

Great information! I had no idea that kind of feature event existed. It's been a LONG time since I last used the software, don't remember the version tho, so either it didn't exist yet, or I simply overlooked it.

thanks for sharing.
