PS4 Controller DPad doesn't work

[MustardX]

When using the PS4 configuration support in Big Picture mode everything works except the dpad. Games that support PS4 controllers also recognize the controller as an Xbox controller. Anyone else getting this?

Hi, Im using DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller with DUALSHOCK 4 USB Wireless Adaptor and the d-pad its not responding at all in Street Fighter V. Please fix this Sony or Valve or whoever it takes.

I managed to fix it. :) First you have to activate your DS4 in Steam:

- Enter Big Picture mode
- Settings (gear in upper right)
- Controller - Controller Settings
- Check "PS4 Configuration Support"
- Wait about 10 seconds and you should see a popup ("new DS4 detected" or something like that), if not: close Steam, reconnect the wireless adapter and restart Steam
- In the Controller Settings it should now show the DS4 under "Detected Controllers" (directly below "Controller shutdown time")


It then doesn't matter if you open the game through the Big Picture mode but it is important to pick a template:

- Enter Big Picture Mode
- Library
- Pick your game
- You should see a warning message ("Controller Configuration Required ...")
- Manage Game
- Controller Options - Check "Use Steam Configuration for Non-Steam Controllers" - Ok
- Controller Configuration
- [] for "Browse Configs"
- Pick one in the "Templates" or "Community" category
- X for "Import Config" -> shows the config
- [] for "Apply Configuration"

You can also change the settings while in-game by pressing the PS button.

Afterwards you might have to restart the game/Steam to make the template take affect!
