option to just have PS buttons prompts instead of xbox ones
when I play this game sometimes it'll show the PS buttons and then revert to the xbox ones i think because of steam's controller drivers. is there a way for there to be a setting to just have the PS buttons displayed instead of the xbox ones?

Have you found a way? On Controls menu it actually shows PS4 controller and icons, but the whole game uses XBox buttons anyway.

I would also love this.. I'm using a PS4 dualshock4 controller on PC, and it's really annoying that it shows xbox prompts. I know that it is in the game since it's on the playstation store, so why not have an option in settings to remove autodetection of input schemes and just force the PS4 prompts?!

I'm using a PS4 dualshock 4 controller, and it shows Playstation prompts. I don't know why in your cases it does not work.

I don’t know but I think it would be nice to just have an option for auto, xbox, or PS, or even Nintendo idk

I would definitely like this feature as well. I use a third-party PS3 controller and can't get the PS4 prompts normally and there doesn't seem to be any mods for it. A setting to manually switch button prompts, which is in quite a few games these days, would be great. More majors titles, like Days Gone, Death Stranding, Kingdom Hearts and Nioh 2 have it. It should be a standard setting.

Reviving this to let people know that a PS4 button prompts mod[www.nexusmods.com] is now available at Nexus Mods that swaps the Xbox One icons for their PS4 equivalents. There's also an optional file that swaps Y/Triangle and X/Square for people who want to have menu on the top face button and still have the correct prompts. Disco Elysium has menu on X/left for whatever reason, so this is a great option to have.

All respect to hullabalugawhale for making it. He actually made it after I requested it, what a hero.

dsiable steam controlelr settings with whateve controller you got ticked. then reconnect your controller with bluetooth or whatever.
the Steam API uses an XBOX controller to make your DS4 or Dualsense compatibel with all games. it just emulates an xbox 360 controller. that is why you get those button prrompts/

The PS4 button prompts[www.nexusmods.com] mod has been updated and now has perfect shoulder buttons and even colored face buttons. Also, still the option to swap Triangle and Square to get the menu on the top face button.

This crashes the game on start. Any updates?

Can't get in touch with the mod creator, unfortunately. I asked if someone else can update it, will have to wait and see. You don't happen to know how to do it yourself?

I have tried extracting resources.assets with AssetStudio. I can change the corresponding XBOX button textures with PS but I can't figure out how to import and overwrite with modified resources.

Well, I have no knowledge myself, maybe search and ask around. It's Unity, so the process is similar across games, isn't it? Can you open the files from the mod so that you can get the modified prompts?

Mod assets files give error when opening in AssetStudio. I was trying to use in-game PS button textures, they exist and DualShock 4 users can see them.

Ok. The mod creator had to edit the PS4 shoulder buttons to make them visible in place of the Xbox buttons; the sizes are not all the same for all button prompts for some reason. He also changed the face buttons to be colored, which was a great choice. And gave an option for swapping Square and Triangle, which is even better.

If you make any progress, maybe you can post in the mod's comments or create a new mod yourself.

That's what I was thinking. As an alternative solution, I have installed an older version of the game that does not have the stupid Collage mode which just aims to distract players from the legal issues ZA/UM is facing against original creators.
