PC - PS4 Controller won't respond

So for the past couple days, my madden wouldnt start up. I decided to reinstall it and then okay it worked fine. But all of a sudden my PS4 controller (dualshock) stops responding to the game.

I tried to use DS4 but I had errors, I updated drivers, looked at settings, switched to steam back to EA, I watched videos enabling disabling things clicking on and off things that isn't related to PS4 trying to get madden to recognize my PS4 controller as a device. Still no response from the game and my controller was basically useless for the game.

I had a little progress and I saw options of PS4 on the bottom left like I used to, but still the game wouldn't respond to it but instead it recognizes it's there but it doesn't want to respond in the game. I don't have a USB on ready but its annoying.

Everything else on the controller is good. I looked at gamepad testers, heck, even the system on joy.cpl and it worked great, and then boom. Madden just doesnt want it. Its annoying.

  • same issue here. controller didn't work on initial launch, went through all the troubleshooting steps I can find, restart pc, finally works for 2 days. Then it randomly stopped working and nothing will fix it. No amount of messing with steam settings, launched, unlaunched will do anything to get my ps4 controller to work. You'd think a year after launch they could get a controller to work like every other game company that sells me a game on pc.
