Hi all,

I've managed to get the GOG of horizon zero dawn starting up. But my DualShock 4 controller is not recognized by the game. Now the controller works as a mouse (with the pad), so I know it's at least connected.

What can I do to fix this? I am running it through bottles flatpak. I am using gentoo Linux if that matters.

Some games only work with generic xinput controllers and don't support the DS4 natively. In that case using the ds4drv with the emulate xpad option can help.

That said, I'd expect a game published by Sony and originally released on a PS4 to support DS4 controllers natively.
