Doesn't steam have native support for ds4?
Yeah, it does. This can sometimes require launching steam in Big Picture Mode first, then select the game you want. A bit annoying to take that extra step but Steam has upped their ps5 controller support lately.
But I play mostly from gog, and my Intel GPU doesn't play nice with the steam overlay (transparency becomes black and everything becomes 5 fps)
Also it means I have to waste 15 precious minutes troubleshooting the game. Pad isn't recognized, try via steam, add it manually, see if it works via xinput, and so on.
what if the game isnt on steam?
You can still launch games through steam and use steam's assets.
How do you not know you can add any game or program to steam?
Steam handles all of the drivers now.
Check out reWASD, by Daemon Tools. I paid 7 dollars for it once and it's great.
Daemon Tools
Holy crap! They still exist? I haven't heard that name in forever, but I loved their stuff back when I needed it. Wow.
reWASD is brilliant, great suggestion!
Steam Input can handle this now I thought?
Just keep using the old version? I haven't updated it jn ages and it works fine.
ds4drv was working last time I checked
It's for Linux, not windows
Bluetooth controller support on Linux is much better
