Playstation 4 controller (no vibration)

[Ezenthar]

So I've been playing this game with a Playstation 4 controller for some time with no issues. The game always showed xbox buttons but I never cared about. All of a sudden the game is showing Playstation buttons in-game (as if Steam is finally recognising what the controller is) and now I have no vibration from the controller in-game any more (vibration is on in settings and rumble set to on in Steam settings), as well as the touch pad in the middle not being able to be used to bring up menu/gestures any more. Has anyone else experienced this/found a solution?

Did you test your controller with other games? Does the vibration work there? Is it an issue only with Dark Souls 1? Maybe your controller's "vibrator" just broke? (poor controller)

If any game doesn't see my controller for any reason I just use DS4. No, not Dark Souls 4, it's called DS4Windows and it can turn your controller into an xbox one. After it recognized your controller go into settings and toggle "Hide DS4 Controller" on and then accept the pop up and it should work ingame. Most of the time you don't even need to restart the game.

Have you tried to reset the controller in the game?
If not, try this in game: Ctrl-Alt-Del will bring up the Task Manager. Once up, cancel out of it. That might fix it.

If you want to stick with Steam use Ctrl-Alt-Esc. Same solution, cancel out, see if it fixes it

Did you get this fixed? I have the same issue.

Sounds like a blessing in disguise 'cause why would you want vibration on in any game???

While both DS:R and the original have native Dual-Shock 3/4 support with PS-button prompts, the implementation seems a bit buggy or prone to conflicts.

The most stress-free workaround for DS:R is to just use Steam-Input; Right-Click this game in your library --> Properties --> Controller --> "Enable Steam-Input". But there's a caveat, since it will just emulate your DS4 as an XBOX controller and that is, that the button prompts will show XBOX buttons. There should be texture-replacers on nexusmods.com though and as long as they only touch those button prompts, these mods should be safe, but still use them at your own risk.
