This is usually needed because if you don't hide your real controller, games will detect both the real controller and the virtual one created by ds4windows/inputmapper/other remapping apps, which can lead to the infamous double input / double controller issue Hi there, you guys probably hear about this problem quite a lot so my apologies But, i have been pulling my hair out trying to fix this problem I am using a ps4 controller wired into my pc on games that natively support a ps4 controller But ds4windows has a lot of custom options and a lot better input delay that quite obvious to tell in game The problem is that there are two inputs
Sample.png use vdx to convert your xbox controller to a ds4 controller Use the custom build of ds4windows that i provided, and turn on the ex1 switch in the macro window, then restart the controller detection by the stop/start button at the bottom right corner of ds4windows At this point, you will have at least 3 controllers in your system, and you need to use hidhide to hide the extra ones. Hello, i downloaded ds4windows from a fake website before knowing that, i deleted everything but now i’m scared i have a virus, is it actually harmful or just a copy of ds4windows? Is thhis the correct site to download My friends ecommended me ds4windows to playsince some games get buggy with the controller connection from steam, i downloaded it from this link, am i in trouble
If you play on pc w/ ds4 windows and experiencing this issue Make sure forza is closed, and open up ds4 windows Click the profile tab and click create new, and the most important change the controller selection to xbox 360, i suggest naming it. Ds4windows project history to start, the old ds4windows.com website was not to be used Outside of testing a few free/foss/proprietary options, ds4windows has been mostly reliable when steam input (etc.) fails It's a little trickier to navigate than some, but i have yet to find a better option for my ds4s.
Launch ds4windows and the controller led will light up automatically to the color set at the ds4 profile, meaning a successful pairing Launch vdx (xinput to vigem sample application) and you should see player 1 status Launch ds4windows and keep it open and running before launching your game In my case, i didn't need to tweak anything in the ds4windows program, it recognizes the controller and works perfectly in the games i've tried, via origin and via steam.
