controller won't work on mac

Hi,

OSX Catalina support required some rewiring under the hood which seems to cause issues with joystick support.

Could you try the below and let me know if it works for you?

No this does not work. It just asks me if I want to enable my controller on startup. I selected yes and the game still doesn't respond to my controller.

Darn, I'll investigate.

Quick question, are you using a Dualshock, Dualshock 2, 3 or 4? (ie PSX, PS2, PS3 or PS4)

Thank you! I'm using a Dualshock 4

Oh sorry, you mentioned that, juggling a few threads on the topic.

That is strange, that works both wired and wireless (via bluetooth) for me (on Mojave as well)

Did you also remove the 'profile' file?

Could you attach your client_log.txt?

Oh, one more thing:

Could you try right clicking DST in your steam library and set the "Steam Input Per-Game Setting" to 'Forced Off" if it isn't and deleting those files again?

Yeah, I removed the profile file. I'm going to try attaching the client_log. Also if it helps the options menu is doing something weird in relation to my controller. It has an arrow to switch input device but when I click it it just makes the normal sound effect and does not change from keyboard/mouse.  

client_log.txt

Oh also changing Steam input per-game setting to forced off did nothing except now when I deleted the files again it did not ask me if I wanted to enable the controller.

Is this log from after deleting profile and client.ini and disabling the per game input mapping?

Because according to that log the game doesn't see any joystick, and I only get that with the steam controller mapping enabled. With it disabled it does properly detect it for me.

yes it is. I have a copy of the log from before I deleted anything client_log.txt

Oh!! wait it works now!! I'm not sure what I did differently. I may have deleted the wrong file last time when the enable controlled popup did not show up? but I deleted client.ini and profile, started the game up, it prompted me to enable controller and it worked!   

Hmmm, I was wrong. It does detect it. It actually detects 2 joysticks, a Dualshock and something called "GamePad-1". I have no idea what that GamePad-1 is but perhaps it's confusing things.

Any idea what it could be? Do you have any other controllers hooked up or mysterious drivers to fake joystick input?

so I think the steam input per game setting thing fixed it?

sorry my newest post merged with my older one. It works now! I may have deleted the wrong file last time when the enable controlled popup did not show up? but I deleted client.ini and profile, started the game up, it prompted me to enable controller and it worked!

 I am not sure what gamepad could be?? I have used different controllers with this game but they are all DualShock 4

 

It even recognizes it as a ps4 controller now so the buttons that show up are correct!! thank you so much! 

Well, glad to hear that.

Maybe it was indeed the Steam setting not quite correct and that was what the game detects as GamePad 1 - no idea really.

Isn't "GamePad-1" the PS4 controller's touch pad? the useless touch-sensitive black square in the middle of the ps4 controller ya know? I'm not sure, but I've seen strange things happen with that stuff on other games.

No, DST doesn't detect that button (except on PS4 that is). GamePad-1 is likely a string returned by steam when you enable its steam controller emulation.
