PS4 controller icons not shown on PC, but are shown on Mac?

[MRK0017]

I tried this game both on my PC and my Mac. On both platforms, the PS4 controller works natively but I noticed that on PC it always shows the Xbone controller icons (which I don't have), while on Mac it shows the PS4 controller.

It's not a big deal but is there any way to get the PS4 controller icons on PC? I'm using 1.2.2.2.

bump. Looking for playstation icons.

Is there a way to mod the game to add them manually?

Didn't know the game should show PS4 controller button icons, always defaulted to Xbox controller here.

The game is full of bugs,
but I'm not here to discuss character design.

Ever since Steam added native DS support it seems that more games are finally using Playstation icons on PC, I wish Hollow Knight was one of them.

and thats exactly what this game does like many others,
So I can only point in your direction, Maybe your ds4 is obscured by steam big picture settings?
Steam supports ds4 but it might just emulate it as xbox controller instead,

Sounds like you developed the game.
Great, what settings do I need to use to fix it?


I'm not using a DS4, I'm not using Steam's DS drivers.
Steam doesn't do DS3 Bluetooth, I don't even know if they do DS3's at all.

Most games allow an option in the settings menu, or a simple developer option, commond line argument, console command, text file setting, or worst case, a user created manual texture override. This game does not. It's still great though.

Steam does native DS4 only, not DS3.

I can assure you that it shows the ps4 controller icons on a Mac, so the assets for the ps4 controller icons are in the game. Maybe there is some way to force the game to display them instead of the xbone icons in windows? Doesn't really matter for me anymore though, because I already finished the game. If a way to show Playstation icons is found, I'll enjoy it when gods and glory releases.

To get PS4 buttons on Windows: 1. Go to big picture mode, 2. Go to hollow knight, 3. Go to "Controller Options' and 4. Set "Steam Input Per-Game Setting" to "Forced Off". Then the game can say your PS4 controller instead of the emulated Xbox controller it uses by default.

This thread is from 2018, when things were probably different. Either they've figured it out by now, or they've moved on.

In game -> options -> controller -> native controller input TURN OFF
Restart the game.
