PS4 controller via Bluetooth

[GodOfPainx]

Hello there,
I have a dualshock 4 controller of ps4, and a Bluetooth adapter dongle,
i can connect them togeder and steam recognize it - i can go big picture mode and do all the stuff i should do on desktop or other browsers .
My problem is:
Game dont recognize the controller at all! - when i use cable everything is good /
i wanted to know if there is a solution to this problem, farthermore even when wired i get xbox layout on specific "The witch 3 - Wild Hunt" - all other games such as far cry 3/4/5, dbxz 2 ,lego games, i can see ps4 controller layout

Do you use some controller emulator programs in addition, or anything like that?

I use DualShock 4 v2 with the Asus BT-400 adapter (desktop); integrated Bluetooth (laptop) and it works just fine.

I only use Steam's built-in configurator, by having gone under [Steam > Settings > Controller]

PS4 Configuration Support

Then just set it up per game if I want i.e. Steam screenshotting & Shadowplay as extra macros to the default layout.

The Witcher 3 for example has native support for DualShock 4 though, so you might want to try it without the configurator. https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Witcher_3:_Wild_Hunt#Input_settings

As a further note, not every game has DualShock 4 button prompts (even with mods). Very few do.

It means The Witcher 3 has native DualShock 4 support. For that game, you might not want to use Steam's own configurator. Just use DualShock 4.

Unticking the PS4 Configuration Support should allow the game to use the DirectInput API instead of Steam emulating it for Xinput (which also changes the button prompts for that game).

after ticking or unticking i need to exit steam, the game or smth like that or even disconnect the controller

Untick it, then hit ALT and Enter to enter Big Picture Mode, turn off the controller, ALT and Enter to exit Big Picture Mode.

Press the PS button again to activate the controller.

The game should pick it up then.

i did it and nothing changed, but i realised that the game BRAWALLA - is the only game that recognize the controller even during bluetooth - but it show xbox configurations

As I said, not every game has DualShock prompts on PC. Very few do.

Some games with native support (like Okami HD) have a specific configuration profile you can find by right mouse clicking the game on library and choosing [Edit Steam Controller Configuration] while the controller is enabled.

Not sure which The Witcher 3 belongs to, but I’d assume it should work in DirectInput (configuration off). If it stills shows Xbox prompts even with the configurator turned off, then unless the prompts are an in-game setting, I’d suspect some program is doing the controller emulation.

PCGamingWiki shows that game not only has the native support, but has the button prompts and the contextual lightbar use.
