Buttons on PS4 controller switched

[Pluton]

Hey guys, I bought a new PS4 controller since I've heard it's best to play Yakuza on a controller.
Unfortunately, I'm having problems since the commands don't fit with the buttons and I have no idea how to fix that.
Circle means exit, yet if I press it, it is like I'm pressing X.

2 possibilities:
(1) you've somehow got the controls set to Japanese-style where O is OK and X is back / cancel (Western releases of Playstation games have generally reversed this). You can change controller button settings from the game's main menu using mouse / keyboard, going to Settings -> Remap Gamepad Controls.

or

(2) the default Windows settings for a game controller can mis-map the face buttons on a DS4, e.g. treating <Square> as button 1, <Cross> as button 2, &c. This can be circumvented by opening Steam Big Picture mode, selecting Yakuza 0 in your library, then going to Manage Settings -> Controller Configuration & setting up controller mappings there (appropriate presets already exist).

You don't need big picture mode.

if you have an nvidia video card and are using ds4windows the nvidia service stops the hide ds4 feature from working

Open Task Manager, go to Services tab and Rightclick/Stop the one named NvContainerLocalSystem (Description says: NVIDIA LocalSystem Container). Now start DS4W and enable the Hide DS4 feature (under settings it's a check box), it should work now.

Easiest way to test is to simply use the d-pad on the first menu, if it's working then you're good because when the controls are jacked up the d-pad doesn't work in menus.

If it works go back to Task Manager and start the just stopped NvContainerLocalSystem.
It should keep working until you restart your PC no matter you restart DS4W.

Worked like a charm for me. Ton of people suggesting uninstalling ds4w when it's not at all necessary. The problem is that the error message that the hide ds4 feature isn't working is VERY easy to miss. So a lot of people are under the impression it's working when it's not.

I downloaded ds4windows and used it for a while without a problem, then it started acting up and the game was showing me Xbox buttons instead of Playstation buttons in-game. Started fiddling with all kinds of settings and stuff in Steam, ds4windows and Windows itself. Uninstalling ds4windows ended up fixing everything for me.
