PC Dualsense issues?

[dechorus]

My wired Dualsense "seems" to work for a few minutes and then seems to stop.

I'm talking the haptics and adaptive triggers. At first I can feel the haptics even in the menus and when using melee, but then after a while it just seems to stop working. No haptics, no adaptive triggers. I'm hitting things with my melee and no vibrations.

Has this happened to anyone?

Maybe patch will fix it, many topics already with the same issue

[Manhunter]

Yes same here, i think it's a bug or something. We will wait the patch. :/

[dechorus]

Didn't realise it's common - okay, in a way, that's a relief to hear.

Will be patient, then!

Thanks, folks.

I am having this issue happen as well. It happens in other dualsense "Supported" games also. I just tried changing my USB settings in Power Management Plan to never switch off and it doesn't seem to be happening atm.

This does work move your mouse or touch a key on your keyboard everything will work on your controller again you have to do this every 10 or 15 mins.

make sure you are wired and steam input is disabled

I am lacking any audio from the dualsense speaker. Feels like I should be hearing noises from that but its been silent.

For all dual sense features (including the radio static on the speaker):

- install the Playstation Accessories App
- connect the controller with a USB cable only!
- in Steam settings make sure Steam Input is not enabled for this game!
- wait until the game is fully loaded / or playing
- disconnect the controller
- you must see a message "controller disconnected"!
- reconnect your controller
- in about 5 to 10 seconds all features, including the speaker will work

Note: there is the bug that seems to make the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback stop working after about 10 mins. Simply move your move or press a key should be enough to get it working again. Annoying, but its the only solution for now.

I have met all of the criteria in your post but no dualsense speaker audio. Unless the game doesnt use it. I presumed things like the radio are meant to come through it?

Yes, it does use the speaker on PC for radio static mainly.

At first I thought it didn't. Everything else worked fine except the speaker.

Then someone else mentioned that workaround. Now all I have to do is unplug the controller, and then reconnect it. About 10 seconds later I'll hear the speaker work for the radio mainly.

Make sure you DO NOT have the controller also connected / paired via bluetooth as well, as that won't allow it to work correctly either. It needs to be only connected over a usb cable.

I can disconnect / reconnect the usb cable on the main menu or during gameplay... as long as you get that prompt about it being disconnected it should work when you connect it again.

Nice, thanks. I'll give it a go when I jump back on later.

Thanks for the tips!

I've never used the PS Accessories App.

It didn't even occur to me that the radio static could be coming out of the Dualsense speaker. That's brilliant (and makes perfect sense!).

About to give this a try.

Vibration isnt working on my xbox elite controller. Only in this game.

OK, after trying out everything, all I've learned is that:

- You need to move your mouse every so often to "reconnect" your Dualsense haptics/triggers.

That's basically what it boils down to.

So dumb.
