Controller won't work

[tyleulen007]

Keeps going forward forever and constantly swaps between xbox buttons and generic gamepad buttons.

My Xbox controller is working perfectly fine with this game. Maybe you got an older model X box controller.

Xbox controller are working on most of the game, even better than PS4 controller. Why blame xbox controller? Are you using an original xbox controller?

Using a dualshock 4, through DS4windows. If I use just the controller it doesn't work, controller with steam input doesn't work, the only way I get anything is with DS4windows, and then it bugs out like I described. To be clear, I'm not blaming my actual controller I'm blaming the game, and I'm not blaming it for not supporting dualshocks, I'm blaming it for freaking out when I use DS4windows. Most games accept it just fine, so when a game bugs out like this I assume its the games fault.

Did you checked-in the "Hide PS4 controller" check box? Might be labelled differently, been a while I did not used DS4windows.

Make sure it is checked. Else some games may detect your controller twice, e.g once as a xbox controller throught the xinput wrapper and once as a generic dinput controller. I am suspecting it is the case here.

When hiding controller, do not use steam input.

Also, I got to take game's defense, I have used DS4 and DS4windws long enough to understands that there is issues. e.g DS4 controller itseft micro-USB port is picky and random movements may trick windows into thinking the controller gets disconnected (how picky seems to very by games), In my case, DS4 eventually started to ceate phamton use HID controllers that I needed to disale evertime and other garbage like that.

I thought it might be that too, but when I tried it didn't work.

Hi I have the solution:

1) DO NOT USE DS4 or any other gamepad software. Juste close DS4 controller.

2) Click on this icon next to the steam DMC game laucher menu

3) Than open this tab by clickin on Using template under "Current Button Layout"
https://i.ibb.co/6Pcb4gK/DMC-PS4-controller02.png

4) Finaly, select this template on steam.

It will make your ps4 controller work like a xbox controller in games that dont recognize the ps4 controller.

Your controller will no longer act like two separate controller in many games like DmC Devil May Cry.

It worked for me. and also make my ps4 controller work better with older games without having to use DS4.

PS :You will still need DS4 for the non-steam games so keep it installed on your computer.

That fixed half the problem, but the right stick keeps moving up all the time, I guess that's a separate problem on my end. Thanks for your help!

For the right stick issue,
Go to steam > Settings > Controller > advanced setting
From here move the right stick deadzone cursor, to make the deadzone slightly bigger.
