Issue Language
- [X] Yes my issue is written in English
same issue, steam and whiskey both detect DS4 controller but Elden Ring does not work. (when ps button is held down only camera rotation works + rumble)
Yes, same problem here (in this case, with Risk of Rain 2013, Whisky 2.2.0, macOS 14.1.1). Steam sees that my controller is connected, and correctly displays input on the test screen. However, Risk of Rain is completely unresponsive to controller input, despite supporting it.
Even if I turn on Steam Control and tell Steam to remap all my controller buttons to keyboard input, the game still receives none of it.
Same problem for me, controller works fine on native games and crossover but I just tried spiderman miles morales with whisky and my xbox controller isn't recognized by the game.
Ditto here with Dual Sense. Host machine recognizes controller just fine, bottled Steam recognizes the input just fine, Skyrim SE does not.
Have the same issue, MacOS 14.1.1, recognizes my controller, so does Whiskey 2.2.1 and Steam. But When I start the game (LEGO Star Wars the Skywalker Saga) , it doesn't react at all.
I found a workaround to my issue, which is to disable Steam input. The game still correctly picks up the controller. The downside is you can't use any of the steam input tools like gyro and such.
+1 here with Baldur's Gate 3. Disabling Steam Input doesn't make a difference in my case.
Doesn't Baldur's Gate 3 run natively? You shouldn't need Whisky for this.
If you read the entire history of the issue, you will see that I haven't suggested anywhere that this is resolved. In fact, I find this bug super annoying. I was simply offering a solution to your particularly problem.
Hello, I'm encountering the same issue with "It takes two", using either GEproton or wine-staging on debian, by directly running wine without frontends like whisky. Thus I don't think the problem is whisky-related.
Just posted on something similar here: https://github.com/orgs/Whisky-App/discussions/833 . Try forcing the input libraries in Wine configuration to "builtin" (you have to manually add dinput8 if the game uses it).

There seems to be a bug when using D3DMetal GPTK and controllers via steam for some (but not all) games. Swithcing to DXVK resolves the issue, but you lose the D3DMetal GPTK performance benefits. see: https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues/844
@vvuk Tried the libraries as suggested, but doesn't fix the issue
I am experiencing the same issue with my favorite controller-played game - The Binding of Isaac : Repentance.
It sadly just crashes without opening even for a millisecond. The moment I disable Bluetooth connection with my controller (dualsense 5) it just launches without any problems.
Hope to find a fix soon, I don't think these libraries shown earlier do the job for me, tried it. Maybe an official statement how to fix this?
I don't think that will work, there a number of other mappers that I have tried that don't fully solve the issue. These issues are specific to MacOS and mostly D3DMetal in GPTK
True, I'm playing on MacOS Sonoma. As I can see, this mapper is for Linux, mostly Debian but that was just a quick Google search.
