PS4 Controller works - partially...

[andreas.sp]

So I bought a PS4 controller. Got it hocked up via bluetooth. Opened steam in big picture mode, opened a game. It worked perfectly! It was so easy. Basically plug and play. Didn't have to map a single button - it just worked!

However... The next day I opened Steam in Big Screen mode, I had to register "a new controller" it suddenly could see now. So I did - Steam saw that it was a PS4 controller. I even changed the color at the back of the controller via Steam.
But when it came time to play, It dosen't work! I can only control the menu in game. Go up, go down. Highlight newgame or options - but I can't push any button. Nothing reacts. The game knows it's a PS4 controller, because it shows the X and triangle buttons and so..

I don't know what to do! It's like after the controller was registers "correct", nothing have worked :(

What to do?

Games with direct input are hit and miss, I suggest using DS4Windows, it emulates as a 360 controller so it's pretty much compatible with every game.

I have no idea what you just said.. But if you are saying that a PS4 controller won't work with steam, then you are wrong. It's the first controller to get full in-client configurability - it started december 2016 AND WORKED (until the next day)

Yes, but that shouldn't be necessary - Steam supports the PS4 controller. But I somehow can't reconfigure it, and try again.

But I would love to try a "plan b" - but I'm running on a mac. I will google a DS4mac edition (if such exist, I will be happy) :)

Do you have the Steam overlay turned on? Controller support seems to need it on or there are issues. Even with the Steam Controller, the left analog stick stops working if the overlay is off.

Not sure. I will check.
Maybe it's the game itself? It's about "Enter the Gungeon".

Sidenote: Just tried playing "SuperMeat Boy" - it worked flawlessly. Plug and Play.

Anyway, when I start "Enter the Gungeon" I notice how a "skip intro" button switched from Q to triangle. That's perfect! However, after a few seconds, it begins to jitter nervously back and forth to Q and triangle. It's like it dosen't know what to do.

And somehow, now I can't open the steam menu in-game with the controller, to try to map the controls or something. I can ONLY use the left stick..

If the game shows the triangle sounds like the game it self supports the PS4, so maybe the problem is a conflit of Steam and the game, trying to take input from the PS4?
