Add compatibility for PS4 controllers

[Fion]

Edit: I found an old XBOX 360 controller I used to use on the old State of Decay game at my mothers house and then rushed back to my own place and the game works fine with a 360 controller. WOOT!

Old: I bought a new XBOX controller for this game, for it to not even work and I just had to return it because the new bought controller doesnt support Windows 7.
I only currently have PS4 and PS3 controllers and I can`t play this game with keyboard and mouse as the movement of characters are just running. I need to walk and go slow at times so I don`t fall off ledges. Etc.

And before someone says get windows 10 not everyone wants windows 10.

look if this helps

"DS4Windows is a portable program that allows you to get the best experience while using a DualShock 4 on your PC. By emulating a Xbox 360 controller, many more games are accessible."

i used to use DS4 with egosoft games.

Interesting thanks!

Having just purchased a DS4 controller myself, please use the Ryochan7 fork of DS4 windows as it's updated to work with W10. The old version linked above hasn't been kept up to date and disconnects frequently thanks to a W10 update.

*edit* Lol, should have read first about you using W7, the old version might be ok then.

don't like the idea of having to install 3rd party software to play the game with a controller and really don't want to buy a new controller for one or two games. Why doesn't it just support PS 4 controllers as previously it has done happy to remap keys but controller not even recognised.

Why aren't you using steam's DS4 control mapping? Just turn on controller support for DS4 controllers in steam and have it handle all the functionality. Works for Switch Pro controllers too.

Don't remember how to do it in standard steam. But switch over to steam Big Picture Mode. Click over to settings, and you should see controller setting. In there just make sure Playstation Controller configuration has a checkmark and then steam will handle all of your DS4 controller options. You can then right click any game (in standard steam) with your controller connected to edit the keybindings for that game, upload ones you like, or grab prexisting keybindings made by the developers or by other users.

Has support for xbox, playstation, switch, and steam controllers.

I use Steam, activate my PS4 controller on Big Picture. It works fine, even without starting the game in Big Picture.

My only complaint is that it doesn't support PS4 button prompt

Seems unlikely that a game published by MS (on Xbox no less) is going to support their competitor's button scheme. :P Kinda like how Sony does the same with their games.

I consider this a valid complaint in all other cases where a console manufacturer is not involved, but I think you kind of have to expect corporate silliness when MS or Sony are pushing their own games.

I don't think big picture mode can change to PS4 buttons if the game itself doesn't support it. I'm not a big controller guy though, so no clue. Doesn't seem likely though.

I'm wondering how Red Dead Redemption is in PC version? Does it have ABXY button or?

Also the ones like Horizon Zero down is gonna be
