PS4 Controller doesn't work with this game?

[groggles]

Bought this game and set it up to use the PS4 Dualshock controller in the dropdown menu but when the game launches and I pick Free Driving, the game doesn't respond to any of buttons or anything on the controller. I have to use the Mouse to click Start and then there's no response at all with the mouse or the controller. Is there some setting that I'm missing?

Hello,

Our game supports almost all steering wheels/controllers, which are compatible with Microsoft Windows and DirectX. If your wheel/controller has proper driver it should work fine. We recommend wheels/controllers with 900 degrees rotation for maximum comfortable gameplay.

If you're using a racing wheel/controller you should set up it properly.

First of all – reset all the in-game controls to default (if you tried setup it earlier).

Then quit the game and before starting the game again, please perform these steps:

1. Update your wheel/controller driver to the latest version from your controller manufacturer's website.
2. Calibrate your wheel/controller and check if it works correctly in Windows.
3. Please note that you should connect your wheel/controller to the PC and wait until the very end of its auto calibration strictly before(!) launching the simulator.
4. Go to Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings
and deactivate everything there.

After that start the game and follow the directions below:

First, check if your wheel/controller has the ready settings preset in the game controls menu. If it has one – just select your wheel/controller from the dropdown list. Everything should work automatically from this point.

If your wheel/controller does not have a ready preset select the “default” preset from the dropdown list. Then you have to assign buttons and axes in the game settings manually. To do that you should double-click with the left mouse button on every action in the list and then push the proper button or pedal on your wheel/controller to assign this button or pedal for this action.

If you're using a gamepad (or any other controller) the procedure is the same.
