Ds4 Controller Driver Didn't Install Correctly

I'm attempting to connect my PS4 controller to a laptop over the built-in bluetooth. I pair by either holding the ps button and options (which my laptop autodetects and pairs) or holding the ps button and share and then explicitly pairing using 'Add Bluetooth or other device'.

  2. Ds4 Driver Not Installing
  3. Ds4 Driver Install

If re-syncing the controller with the system didn't work, you can manually reset the controller as follows: Locate the small reset button on the back of the DS4 near the L2 button. Use a small, pointy object, such as an unfolded paper-clip (or a similar object) to push the button.

  1. Dec 18, 2017 - ScpToolkit is a free Windows Driver and XInput Wrapper for Sony DualShock 3/4 Controllers. Installation is fairly simple and straightforward, but.
  2. There isn't an uninstall driver button and I can't find any information about how to uninstall the DS4 driver. There isn't an uninstall driver button and I can't find any information about how to uninstall the DS4 driver. Which is added if you install the driver from DS4Windows itself. If you don't you can install it from device manager.

The pair succeeds but when I try to actually connect the controller (by pressing the ps button), the bar flashes then goes off. On the laptop it appears as 'Connected' very briefly then immediately switches to 'Driver error'.

I have previously managed to get it to connect without the driver error but it didn't actually work (buttons had no effect). Connecting via USB works fine.

Edit: I've now managed to get it to connect without the driver error again but nothing apart from windows' bluetooth devices screen detects it.

I've tried updating drivers and multiple reinstalls with no luck.

I don't actually own a PS4 (I bought this controller especially to use with my laptop). I'd really appreciate any help as I'm rather short on USB ports.

You mentioned you updated the drivers, but DS4 has no official driver on Windows 10 so I assume you are using an unofficial driver like DS4Windows.

There was a change to Windows that broke DS4Windows and effectively renders the DS4 device unusable until the user manually re-enables it. To work around this issue, you'll need to re-enable the DS4 and use a patched version of DS4Windows.

The Jays2Kings version is no longer being maintained and doesn't have a fix for this issue. If you were previously using this version, it's recommended that you update to Ryochan7's fork:

You cannot use the PS4 controller over Bluetooth without purchasing the 'PS4 DualShock USB Wireless Adaptor', or using the USB cable. If you want to save yourself some money, using a USB cable is the easiest option.

Unfortunately, either option will take up a USB port on your laptop.

Below is a screenshot from the MacOS version of PS4 Remote Play app, indicating the two ways in which the DS4 will work. The Windows version of the Remote Play app has a similar message. I understand that you may not be using the Remote Play app on your own PC, but the message is a good indicator of what is supported.

I have a similar problem on my MacBook. My controller connected successfully at the first time, but failed to connect the next time. The bluetooth preferences interface said that the controller is connected but showed a loading indicator (like it's connecting) and finally failed.

I succeeded to fix it by deleting the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file.

Hello,

I've decided to reinstall my DS4 Drivers because I had an issue with my PS4 Gamepad, it suddenly stopped getting any signal from DS4 Windows and acted as a simple PS4 Gamepad.
Upon reinstalling, all DS4Windows is doing is 'Opening Installer' for several minutes and fail to do so, I've tried to go on the official website to grab another set of files in case those became corrupt and to my surprise, the website has gone offline.

Apparently the bandwidth limit had been exceeded and I'm pretty sure the installer gets files from said website, it opens the installer and downloads the required files to install DS4 Drivers.

Could you help me out solve this problem? Do you have a copy of your DS4 Windows for offline installation usage?

@xdantey The site appears to be up at this time. If you are referring to 'Step 1: Install the DS4 Driver', then you are correct in regards to the installer retrieving a file from the site (http://ds4windows.com/Files/Virtual Bus Driver.zip). I would suggest downloading that file if there have been intermittent site outages. Simply running and installing ScpDriver should address the first step.

You can get the zip from WayBack Machine. (https://web.archive.org/web/20170311022846/http://ds4windows.com/Files/Virtual%20Bus%20Driver.zip)
But what do you do with it after? Just run ScpDriver.exe?

commented Oct 28, 2017

Yes, just run ScpDriver.exe and after that start DS4Windows and the Install window won't pop up (at least on win10)

commented Oct 28, 2017

yup. and i couldn't find that location prior to what i found. the more options the better imo.

commented Oct 28, 2017

You can grab it from here. And yes, I have not bothered to buy a domain name.

go to https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases
it's a great solution

Game Maker comes in Lite and Pro editions. Games for windows 7. In addition to 2D, Game Maker also has limited support for 3D graphics and models through Direct3D. It also uses DirectX 8, which opens up possibilities of graphical functionality, such as alpha adjustments and blending settings.

wow almost a year and no fix?

My suggestion to all is to use input mapper. It's an alternate program since this one is no longer properly supported. Consider the unofficial successor.

commented Aug 28, 2018

I test InputMapper fairly frequently but neither version 1.6 nor 1.7 work that well. Neither version can get the most basic DS4 to XInput mapping system right. There have been some interesting developments but Wobbles really should have just focused on getting XInput mapping working well with 1.7 before jumping into implementing other features. Testing the most recent 1.7 build (1.7.6811.34320) with HTML5 Gamepad Tester shows that the full analog stick range is not even being used for the output XInput device.

commented Aug 28, 2018

Again it's an alternative. Use whatever works for you. This is the option for those that don't want to try and debug this.. Our can't get this working.. Input mapper is another option. That one is just actively supported. Just updated this month.. Not saying one is necessarily better then the other.. Everyone can choose for what to use. But may not know of other options.
