PS4 controller not supported?

[diablogamer225]

I'm trying to use my PS4 controller to play this, yet it seems like it's not supported. I can't navigate the menus with the controller, however I can move and shoot but it feels extremely janky like I'm basically controlling the mouse with the controller.

What I found worked is if you use the controller customization menu through steam, set everything on the ps4 controller to itself, then type exec 360controller in the console.

Hello, are you still having issues? Have you enabled Playstation controller support via Steam settings?

I haven't tried the console command yet, but yeah the PS4 controller is enabled in the Steam settings. This is the only game I'm having trouble with.

I tried the console command and still no dice. I was able to access the weapon wheel with the touch pad, however it was really difficult to select a weapon. Aiming was also a pain.

You have to change the mouse sensitivity to "1" from "3", and remap weapon select (I selected the Dpad).

Ultimately though its not really designed for a controller in mind. With no auto aim or lock on fighting the soldiers etc is far too hard. Best sticking with mouse and keyboard until official support is added IMO.

Unfortunately Black Mesa still has no proper full controller support even after the release of Definitive Edition (I had always troubles with this game and DS4). Maybe developers will add it, but who knows when.

If you look at the update notes, there are entries like "Updated functionality for UI navigation with controller/keyboard." etc. Also there is auto aim support, you can find its settings in the menu.
But nowhere can be found which types of controllers are supported. I guess that currently XBox controllers support is relatively advanced, but still not completed and DS4/DualSense support is just missing.
It's possible to use Steam WASD+mouse controller template for PS controllers, but that is far from ideal.

DS4windows will fix it

I see no reason for using DS4Windows with Black Mesa, Steam client has DS4 support too.
