Re: need for speed ds4 controller not working correct

@jolley86 The trial and the full game are functionally the same, so nothing should change with controls. 

Unfortunately there's no official fix, but there are a plenty of 3rd party/unofficial programs out there that will make a DS4 pad look like a 360 pad to the PC. I've tested it myself with a 360 pad and it works fine.

    I am using a DS4 controller, and DS4windows program to adjust the keys. But in the Need For Speed game, i am always on brake/E-Brake and I do not know why. As well as my X button which as the A button on an xbox controller, it has a problem where it will bring up the NFS network and sometimes working normally, I have no idea how to fix this.

    First what OS are you running? If you are like a lot of people and decided to run the Windows 10 upgrade you may be out of luck since the 360 driver you require is not compatible with the Windows 10 OS...at lease not until the new .NET patch which hopefully has a fix. Otherwise download or reinstall the 360 accessories software 1.2 from the Microsoft downloads page and make sure you are using your PS4 controller with a usb data cable-not just a charging cable, restart your PC and you should be good to go. If you are using your controller with bluetooth connectivity try using the usb cable while playing instead. Some bluetooth drivers will loop the DS4 signal from a PS4 controller from the x-axis after pressed, so if using the usb cable doesnt fix the problem then try using a bluetooth dongle instead of your PC's onboard antenna. Unfortunately most games are using XInput these days so to use your PS4 controller (as is my preference) you need to make a few adjustments to the API. I recommend using the steps outlined by the guys over at hardcoreware. http://www.hardcoreware.net/how-to-ps4-controller-windows/
