PS4 Dualshock controller dpad stops working in the middle of game (like 10 minutes after start playing)

[Postdog]

Hi,

I recently purchased a PS4 controller, and am trying to use it for playing don't starve together. As bluetooth connection did not really work, I connected it via USB. It works fine in the beginning, but the dpad (up, down, left, right) stops working after about 10 minutes. The rest of controller still works though. To fix this, I have to unplug/plug the controller again and then relaunch the game.

Has anyone experienced this issue? Any tips on fixing this problem?

Heya
Have you connected the controller by performing the steps below?

• Use a Micro-USB cable to connect the PS4 controller to your Mac.
  
• Press the PlayStation button in the middle of the gamepad (to turn it on).
  
• Choose Apple > About this Mac.
  
• Click System Report.
  
• Choose USB.
  
• Look for Wireless Controller under USB.

If you can see Wireless Controller (it's called "wireless" even though it's connected via a cable), then your PS4 controller is connected to the Mac. It'll now work with any compatible games.

Additionally, you could try checking out the advice mentioned here[http//it+is+due+to+an+app+called+USB+Overdrive+taking+precedence+over+the+controls+of+the+DS4+controller]

(some say it's due to an app called USB Overdrive taking precedence over the controls of the DS4 controller, which gets installed when having a gaming mouse apparently)

Please let us know how it went!

Hellu Wofe!

When in Big Picture mode, within Settings > Controller Settings, is the "PlayStation Configuration Support" checked?
(No need to keep Steam in big picture mode when launching games that are playable with a controller)

Otherwise, do you have the latest PS4 controller firmware? Having an outdated firmware might also cause issues xD

Thanks for the quicky answer!, I've tried, but it didn't worked out =,(

Is more related to the pc other than steam
I've kinda saw some ppl with the same problem, but none had the answer

Hmmm, if most solutions don't work, it can be a hardware issue.

I'd also recommend trying another ps4 controller if possible. This way you'll see if it's the PC or the Controller the one causing issues.

Do you have a place to turn your controller in for a verification? In my country we're offered 2 years of free verification for any issue that might arise. If it's the same, I hope you have yours too. It's worth a try xD

I hope it works out well <crossed fingers>! :(
