ps5 controller doesn't work for this game only?

[Ministry Of Wrath]

I've used my ps5 controller for years now, nearly every game I've played has worked with my control, I've even launched non-steam exe games in steam to take advantage of the controller in unsupported games.

zero reason this game shouldn't work out of box with my controller.

Dualsense here, work perfectly

I can concur that I'm using dual sense with no issues. Maybe try toggling steam input on and off.

Only works wired, which is not ideal.

I dislike ps controllers in general but I also had a ton of issues everywhere with them when I played at a friend's coop.

One thing that almost always works to get them to work though is to go into steam big picture. There is a setting somewhere where you have a list of different controllers and which of them are detected automatically. Ticking your controller there usually helps, if that isn't enough you can try to download a custom controller layout for the game.
People often have layouts that are just the regular keybinds that you can use to make steam recognize the controller.

Big picture is the stupid thing you open with the monitor icon top right. Be aware the UI is ultra ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and finding anything is a literal pain cuz Steam hates people using their controllers.

jeah same problem.. And i can't fix it with big picture mode mentioned.. I got problems with the controller for a while now and I think it's all steam related.

It does work perfectly for me. You need to go to controller settings in steam big picture, and under playstation controller set to "not enabled". Then the game takes it over natively

This works but in the game I am getting Xbox controller button layout. I am playing the demo though, does the full game support the dualsense properly?

this is the problem then, I already uninstalled the demo after it didn't work, I suspected that might be a issue, but if you never plug the controller in and they never mention it's only wired controllers that's a big problem.

thanks for the tip

If people are saying it works, it most likely does.

Try enabling steam input when you boot up the game by pressing shift&tab and clicking the controller option.

Or alternatively click the controller option on the stream game launch screen
and enable steam input there.

If that don't work you could be using an old wire that's on its way out.

Honestly some games work better than others but I find disabling steam input tends to work for my ps5 controller and it will display the correct button icons in games.

Might be worth trying that?

You have to enable Steam Input, trouble is you get an xbox button layout (annoyingly) but the controller does work. Steam is just basically hit and miss for the dualsense, it's irritating.
