PC players using PS4 controller

Just a few questions,

1. Do you have to use BetterDS3 or Motioninjoy to use a PS4 controller or does windows 8 have the drivers?

2. Does the vibration work?

Currently using a PS3 controller via BetterDS3 and I get no vibration when fishing, however on the vibration test in betterDS3 it works.

1. Neither. I use scpserver. Those two other programs kept dropping connection(mind you, this is wired) from the controller which resulted in wipes.

2. It DOES, but for some reason the game refuses to save the vibration setting. And by "does" I mean my controller rumbles when enabling the setting. I haven't noticed it otherwise.

Don't use Motionjoy. I used that until I realized it was casing my PC to BSOD. I use scpserver like Phire now, but it's not as user friendly.

So it doesn't actually work when you fish or take damage?

I would recommend InputMapper for PS4 controller. The installer would be all you need. You won't need the xbox controller driver or anything else, unlike some of the other ps4 controller softwares.

It's easy to use and you can customise everything, including the colour indicator and there is an advanced macro builder.

And yes, the vibration works pretty reliably.

I use SCP server. It's really easy.

If you have bluetooth on your computer you can do it wirelessly even.

Using DS4 Tool. Which is in fact just a wrapper to SCP.

i use PS4 controller on the PC natively. though you have to go and customize the CFG file in your documents for it... the PS4 controller is native plug and play. what it does not do is set the buttons in the proper positions. so you have to go into the CFG and look for every line for the Alias.

so when you open it in notepad look for the <game_pad settings> and find Alias.

copy this line and replace the whole string line.

Alias {90,91,88,89,41,40,32,33,73,72,48,49,3,2,1,0,4,6,10,5,7,11,9,8}

after that. turn off what you used before and the PS4 controller will be native plug and play.

sadly if you connect any other controller or software to change button layout it will reset.

sadly if you connect any other controller back to it. it resets.

This is what I used when I played on PC didn't have to use any third party program and was able to use bluetooth for wireless gameplay also.

Thanks for the replies, went with scpserver and the vibration now works!

Only question is, do you have to run scp server when you need it to work?
