Steps:
1. Plug any PS5 dualsense wireless controller in via USB. Ensure Steam is off since we're using the PC client and ensure no other 3rd party contoller apps like reWASD are enabled. Also ensure that the speaker for the dualsense is active in Windows Sounds Settings and configured to default quadrophonic speaker arrangement. Validate that the dualsense functionality works on other games like Stellar Blade.
2. Open the game, ensure that controller system settings are set to dualsense, vibration is enabled, additional dualsense features are checked, and button options are the latest PS5 options.
3. From the main menu, choose Start with the controller, expecting the haptic vibration you get when on PS5. It does not occur.
4. Additionally, during the game when sprinting or jogging, where you'd expect feedback from footsteps, it will be noticeably softer almost to the point of not being able to feel it at all.

NOTE: I am making this new report because I was unable to reply to the below linked thread, but be aware that the last two posters (Gavrenon and Alch) are having the same issues as me, and they posted back in May of 2026:
