PS4 controller on PC has stopped working
Hey folks! I use a PS4 controller to play Apex on PC. It's worked fine up until the last stability patch, whereupon it's stopped working. It used to recognise the pad and switch the interface to PS...

@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.
- @onionbob does the controller light up when u plug it into the usb port?
Try reset ps4 controller:
https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps4-dualshock-4-wireless-troubleshooting/ - @Konform103 It lights up once, then goes out. Resetting unfortunately makes no difference. I have tried multiple USB cables and two different controllers.
- @onionbob do you have a bluetooth? just to check if it works without drawing power from the usb port
- @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.
