Dualshock 4 problem

[Wig Bang]

When I launch the game, I'm able to use my dualshock 4 but every time I hit a button, the keys on the lower right of the screen switch between showing A and B to 1 and 2.

And sometimes it will navigate back instead of forward in the menus.

Your controller is being recongnized as both dinput and xinput at times in my opinion. Just recently I had the same issues happen to me. Best "fix" I can tell you for now is to use the free xbox controller emulator program that will trick the game into thinking you have an official xbox 360 controller.

Only downfall to this is if your controller comes unplugged during play you'll have to restart the game with the controller plugged back in or else the controller will then be recognized as dinput until you shut the game down and restart it and thus giving the xbox controller emulator the right to make the game think it's an xinput controller.

Process is pretty simple with my controller and it should be simple with yours as well.
Basically you just download the emulator, then put it into the same folder your game's .exe file is in, run the emulator first so you can set up your buttons (make sure your controller is plugged in at this point of course), save your emulator set up and close it out, and the start the game like normal.

The emulator program is x360ce, I'll try to link the website here, but if steam removes the link just search x360ce and you'll find it.

x360ce link (I've used it alot never had any issues):

lengthy tutorial how someone used the emulator with the same controller you have for dark souls (in my opinion the post by samination explains it much simplier, it's the second comment I think, but incase you had problems I linked the guide b/c I never used your type controller before):

Try enabling/disabling the controller support in View -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings.

HIGHLY doubt this will give any real kind of fix. It's something that causes your controller to not be recognized as xinput trust me. I have the exact same issue.

Well sorry for the double post, but I just figured out my problem. Turns out my controller supports various modes, one for xbox, one for pc, one for android etc.. Well my son who is young was messing with my conttroller and I didn't realize it, but he switched my controller from xbox mode to pc mode, which you'd think you'd want pc mode on pc but you don't or it recognizes the controller as dinput instead of xinput.

So to make a long story short for me my controller got switched to the wrong mode and thus was confusing games. So if your controller has an ability to switch modes make sure it's in xinput or xbox mode.

I had a similar problem and that fixed it for me, it even came back every time I forgot to enable or disable (Forgot which one), it might be different for others, but yeah, that was my solution.

In RE6? Or in Windows or some utility?

On Steam settings. Sorry, I should've been more specific. You can also personalize the DS4 light bar, such as color, brightness and saturation.

By the way, different games react different to either enable/disable option, some even display the correct PS inputs, so it's good to keep in mind.

i just use ds4 windows and it works fine

Still having the same issue.

For your info, I've been using inputmapper from th estart. I uninstalled it (and the inputmapper hidguardian) and tried ds4windows and I had the same exact issue.
