Why is DS4windows suddenly being flagged by anticheat?

Nothing has changed on my system, running the game through steam.  Ive used DS4windows for years without issue, but this morning for some reason WRC is not loading and giving an anticheat message about VirtualController.  Ive narrowed it down to being DS4windows that is triggering it.  

I use a DS4 to play the game, and its been fine until now and even showed the correct Playstation buttons in game.  The game will work using steaminput but there is no way to cause the game to use Playstation buttons through steam, it simply emulates a 360 controller.  And also, its incredibly inconvenient to have to shut down DS4windows and enable Steaminput every time I want to play this game.  

I dont quiet have 2 hours in steam yet for WRC and I will most certainly refund the game if this cant be remedied.  Flagging a basic usability application as "cheating" is hubris and honestly makes me want to get my money back on principle alone but I do like the game enough to give it a chance.  Is there anyway around this, can the devs whitelist the program perhaps? There is no way to cheat with DS4windows in a game like this, its just to enable us to use our dualshocks on PC with no hassle.

    Yes, me too, I have hundreds of hours plying both WRC and Dirt Rally 2.0 using DS4 windows for gyro steering, looks like I'm going back to Dirt Rally now as I can't even open the game with DS4Windows open! Well done EA, brilliant work.

    Hello, me too. Since the anti-cheat update the DS4Windows program no longer works for me either. However, I can confirm this for Battlefield 1 only. I have already tested it without DS4Windows. It doesn't work and I followed all possible instructions. I have been playing Battlefield 1 with the Playstation 4 controller for 6 years and with the Playstation 5 DualSense controller since last year. If we should play the game with a Playstation controller in the future without the DS4Windows program, then I beg, also on behalf of the community, the developers to implement Playstation 4 + DualSense controller support in Battlefield 1 in addition to a Xbox controller support. As a next update. That would be really great and kind. ^^
