How Do I Get My PS4 Controller (W/DS4 Windows) To Work With ME 1, 2 and 3?

I tried asking this question on another thread, but the thread was too old, so I have to ask again here.

How do i get my PS4 controller (Using DS4 Windows) to work with the Mass Effect trilogy on Origin?

Someone had said something on the earlier thread that opening Origin in Steam, will somehow allow you to use the PS4 controller with the Mass Effect games, but they didn't really specify HOW to do it, other than to say "Add Origin to Steam". Well I don't know how to do that, and they didn't describe the process, so I'm hoping someone here can. So does anyone know how to open Origin in Steam? Please be as specific as possible, to avoid confusion.

    It should work.

    Do you have other input devices connected at the same time.

    Did you tried to unplug and re-plug the controller after the game started?

    You could also add MELE to Steam as a non Steam game.

  • Sorry about that, I meant ME 2 and 3. I downloaded them separately, and I don't have ME 1 downloaded. So no, it's not the Legendary Edition, it's each game downloaded separately.

    I assume that makes a difference?

    It does, the old triology has no controller support.

    You need a Mod to add it to the games.

    The link to this Mods for ME 2 & ME3 are found in this post.

    You also should reed the second post in this thread.

  • Hi, sorry to jump in on this, but I have the MELE I downloaded off EA play for PC and my PS4 controller won't work with it, what would you suggest here?

  • Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

    I dont have any other input devices connected, my controller seems to work with other games but MELE.

    How do I add to steam as a non steam game? (Very new to PC gaming, like 2 weeks ago).

  • Ok, I managed to import the game to my steam library and play with the ps4 controller, THEN I managed to disable the STUPID L3 click opening a keyboard but now I'm stuck unable to assign anything to the L3 button, how can I map to toggle "RUN" toL3 please and thank you
