PS4 Controller SUpport?

[RubTheDuck]

?????

[jacobtheultimate]

yes but its kinda buggy because it thinks L2 and R2 are Xbox's RB and LB, and L1 and L2 dont work at all, but on the default control scheme this is not an issue because they arent used, but if you wanted to change them its kinda a mess.

[Staleen]

No button/UI controller support for PS4's DS4 right now, only Gamepad buttons, which is based on Xbox said the big picture mode configuration. Yes, you can play it using PS4 controller with/without big picture, but not the controller button/UI or whatever you call it.

[BuffPuffer]

Yeah, I can't seem to get the custom control settings to work with my PS4 controller, but the default scheme is fine.

Load the game using steam big picture mode then in the gamepad options in steam big pic mode you can properly config any gamepad to work in game.

I've been playing with a Ps4 controller but the game displays Xbox controls. Although i'm used to it so it isn't a problem for me.

You just have to enable controller remapping in your steam settings to amtch Xbox controllers map

Every game has PS4 controller support if you use DS4Windows.

Please, help i can't get a ps4 controller to work at all with this game big picture and not, did Sumo Digital remove the support?(the game doesn't say it has controller support, did it show it had controller support at one point?)

update: game recognizes the controller now, after i mashed the O (or maybe the X key) while the game started up in big picture mode, later i tried opening the game without mashing it still recognizes the controller, so i don't know how but the mashing fixed it somehow, i think, i didn't mess with anything else, so if you have problems with the game recognizing the controller try that, hope it helps.

But do you even know if this game is compatible with DS4Windows?
I know it is fully compatible with my PS3 controller with ScpToolkit (XInput wrapper).

Given that DS4Windows makes any game think your controller is a 360 controller, yes.

[KoopaTheQuicc]

Use Steam's DS4 support and just play with it mapped to x360 controls. It works, no problem.

Yeah, I see this game being slight step down from transformed with this. Transformed had launcher, which had full on rebinding for keyboard, XInput and DirectInput controllers and I do not remember having any issues with anything, even Dualshock 4 worked fine after binding all necessary buttons.

Shoulder buttons and triggers with this game are swapped. Also those with Wireless adapter, the buttons will be all over the place by default. I think they simply are looking for hardware ID and just automatically applying controller buttons accordingly and they simply missed wireless adaptor (as it has seperate hardware ID to actual controllers).

No.

DS4Windows is XInput wrapper, it emulates Xbox controller and then transfers inputs from DS4 into that emulated controller and all games which have XInput support will work.So if the game does not support XInput controllers, even Dualshock 4 won't help you, however majority of games after 2007 should have XInput support as long as they have controller support.

Problems that happen with this is that as game cannot distinguish the controller from Xbox controller, you'll always have Xbox button prompts, cannot utilize unique features of the controller like lightbar and gyro and ever so slight increased input latency.

Also not sure what's the purpose of DS4Windows after the Steam support was introduced. It's working better and you can even customize stuff with the controller on fly and on top of this you can much easier mix 'n' match controllers if you want 4 local players.

Game supports XInput controllers, so yes.
Also there's now Dualshock 3 drivers for windows available thanks to Playstation Now PC client and with that you can actually just use the controller with Steam controller input API as well.

DS4Windows allows you to map keyboard keys and the mouse to the controller so even games that don't work with XInput, as well as games that have absolutely no controller support at all, can be used with a DS4 using DS4Windows. I've used my controller to navigate slides in Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat Reader several times since it was more convenient than using the keyboard.

Iirc you're required to launch your game from big picture mode in order to use steam support's controller utility, so despite how much of an improvement it is from the past, it's still inconvenient to actually use it. Unless they changed that and it's no longer a big picture mode exclusive? I haven't been keeping up with this.

It hasn't been big picture exclusive for years. You do still have to enable it trough big picture, but after that it Just Works™ if you are launching the game with controller plugged in.
