Re: PS4 Dual Shock Controller Problems

    Unfortunately I do not know how to fix your PS4 controller issue. From what I gather, and correct me if I am mistaken, you have to use a third party program to use the PS4. My question is, have you checked if it could be an issue with the program you use? If the controller doesn't work with any of your other games, that could be the source of your issue. I would look into that if you haven't already.

    Alternatively, if you cant get your PS4 controller working again, you could try using a Xbox One controller. I currently use an off brand Xbox One controller with my PC, and have had no issues with any of my games. I don't know about earlier windows version, but windows 10 has built in compatibility with Xbox controllers, so I do not need to use a third party program.  If I'm not mistaken Wal-Mart sells an off brand called Rock Candy or only 20 or so dollars. I used to use them with my Xbox, and I had no issues with them.

    I think that's what @Pepitte112  means with the "DS4 Windows driver". It interprets the DualShock 4 as an Xbox controller.

    Could you check if the controller is properly recognized in the Windows control panel? Go to the Windows control panel > Hardware and sound -> Devices and printers. Then right click the "Xbox 360" controller, go to 'game controller settings'  and click 'properties'. You can then press some buttons to see if anything lights up.

    I would like to thank you both for offering to help and giving my problem some attention.

    Looks like EA made some good money off of me because I just purchased the DLC off the PS4 online store. I pretty much bought this game twice thanks to this nonsense. 

    I even bought an XBOX one controller and I have had the same damn issues even when trying everything out there on the internet and these very forums. How the hell does one of the biggest gaming companies in existence release a game that can't even get a controller working right? Just pathetic... this should've been cleaned up with a quick fix or a patch eons ago. 

    Why aren't EA representatives dealing with these problems and questions? 

    Bravo! Bravo! Bravo EA! Looks like you guys made another profit. I guess they've already made their nut 10 times over on this game to the point where they don't care about dealing with any performance issues. I keep kicking myself for going through and buying this for PC even knowing that it would be a huge pain in the balls just from reading all the heavily documented issues with the PC version (I can just imagine myself putting my foot through my monitor when having to deal with another issue after spending a week of investigation, experimentation and intensive research just to get the controller working). Never again. 

    It's really unfortunate that Bioware is occupied by this corporate machine... I really hate giving my money to this entity just to have access to Bioware's content.

    It is unfortunate that you are still unable to get it to work. I am sorry I couldn't be of more help.
