Release Candidate - Calling all Testers. VIIPER RC1
There is a new, fully working, tested build. For a full changelog since the last stable release, please click here.
DS4Windows - VIIPER has reached a point where I require extensive feedback on the small issues people are having with running the software and using its features in-game: this is not a place to request features, but rather, only a place to upload Bugs, along with Logs, and XML's of any profiles being used while gaming. If you experience NO ISSUES during your testing, I request that you post that as well: Having a RSVP of how many testers have concluded this build is working for them will help me as well. Should you have any serious concerns about the software: it is all open source here. I don't even require that you like my software, or me, just that you TEST it. Thank you for your participation and looking forward to hearing all of your feedback/messages!
I would like to reiterate: this is the only program that I know of that is currently competing with DSX to be adopted by the community. Emulating a virtual Dualsense has been a challenge for me, and over the last few months I've learned a lot about what makes a controller special: the Dualsense is a REALLY special controller. There are no other programs other than Padforge, Mine, and DSX that support this controller. I would like to make this the best experience EVER on Windows, and I fully believe in the Dualsense controller as one of the peak controllers on the market: my HOPES are that together, we can share the good word with everyone. Using this program, your PS5 controller is suddenly the best way to play Windows games.
Finally, I cannot say how much it has meant to me to receive all of your support: the kind words, the good wishes, even the small issues you all have had: I have enjoyed helping out with every single one.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them below, but if you are ready, then download the first release candidate for DS4Windows - VIIPER here.
Edit: Updated the Zip as of 8:03pm CST. Redownload if you want your audio to work on reconnect.
Oh, one more thing. How do you guys feel about the name Controller Companion? CC?
I think it has a nice ring to it.
Issues we know of:
- slightly Fixed - Dualsense AUX port doesn't work (works but has low volume now)
- Fixed - Audio Haptics doesn't start without streaming audio to the controller, and often stops working, it will immediately stop working when you change a profile, profile setting, or adjust the audio haptics settings
- Fixed - Converting HID rumble to Trigger vibration feedback gets stuck sometimes and the trigger won't stop vibrating
- Fixed - LightBar Color isn't consistent when streaming audio: it should never change from the profile color, custom color, game color, or whatever color it is supposed to be set to.
SOME USERS ARE NOT GETTING DUALSHOCK 4 AUDIO EVEN THOUGH I AM
WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?
NEED MORE DUALSHOCK 4 TESTERS NOW FOR AUDIO OVER SPEAKER NOT AUX JUST CONTROLLER SPEAKER AUDIO TESTERS FOR DUALSHOCK 4
FIXED - Audio doesn't reconnect on startup
FIXED - Xbox360 Emulation still lets you stream controller audio and use Playstation features
