Re: PS4 controller on PC has stopped working

@onionbob are you playing on steam? steam might have its own controller settings i believe

  • @onionbob are you using multiple launchers at once for example steam or other in background? maybe close those apps

    @Konform103 Nope, afraid it's still not working, with or without Steam running. Even killed Steam with Task Manager to be sure. Thank you for the suggestions though!
  • @onionbob Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local\settings.cfg

    what if u move that file to another folder (temporarily).. and let origin create a new one?

    @Konform103 Just tried this one too, and no difference. It really is very baffling. I have also tried repairing the Apex installation and it's made no difference.
  • @onionbob maybe try an app called ds4windows.. cant explain why it stopped working after the update..

    another guy on the web said to run origin through steam.. so in your game library there is an option "add game " and then add "non steam game".. some list will appear and u can select origin.. let me know if that works

    @Konform103 Thanks, I've tried DS4Windows, but it won't even recognise that a controller is connected. I think this may be a larger Windows/system issue. Thanks very much for your help.

    @Konform103 It lights up once, then goes out. Resetting unfortunately makes no difference. I have tried multiple USB cables and two different controllers.

    @Konform103 It works fine, because it works fine with my PS4. It only doesn't work on the PC. I am going to see if I can dig out yet another USB cable to see if, somehow, all the ones I've tried have died at the same time.
  • @Konform103  So on the FIFTH cable I tried, it worked. My mind is absolutely blown that this many cables (all confirmed for charge+sync on other devices) didn't work. Thank you very much for all your help in any case.
