Games no longer detecting controller as PS4 controller

[Spiffyninja]

As title implies, I use a PS4 controller. I have for years. Recently (first noticed a couple days ago), a couple games (Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and Hollow Knight are the two I've tried, only two games I've played on steam that have native PS4 controller support) stopped showing PS4 inputs and have gone to showing Xbox inputs. Wouldn't be that big an issue, I'm used to converting Xbox to PS4 controls, except it also changes the function of the touchpad, which sucks. I've tried fiddling with the steam controller settings, which hasn't worked, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my controller driver. I've tried restarting steam and my computer. Nothing has worked. The only out of the ordinary thing I've done recently was uninstall and reinstall Origin (for Fallen Order), and after doing that is when I first noticed the issue. Anyone have any other ideas for what I can try?

Looks like you need to disable Xinput emulation from Steam (or DS4Windows or other input mapper if using one, or if using something like the 8BitDo USB wireless adapter).
For Steam:
If connecting over BT or want it disabled for all games in Library, disable PlayStation Configuration Support (Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings). Power cycle the controller if it had been already connected over BT.

Or you could disable it for the individual games:
Right-click the game in the Steam Library > Properties > Controller > set the override to 'Disable Steam Input'.

I don't know about SW:JFO having native PS support. I have it just on Origin and it's only Xinput + Xbox prompts there.

None of this worked for me since i didnt use any of those odd programs so idfk what to do here
since my controller is connected but none of the game recognise the inputs ro if i push any buttons nothing happens

Is the controller connected via USB or Bluetooth?
If BT, does the same issue occur if using USB?

Is Steam detecting & reacting to controller input at Steam > Settings > Controller > Test Device Inputs [Begin Test] ?
