I have been playing the bomber class on starfighter assault and it's pretty clear to me that the Y-Wing's ability options are much better than the Tie bomber.
HiI have been using IM for over 6 months and I have never had any problems with it. But recently my Dark Souls (1 2 and 3) stopped recognizing my controler (My camera keeps spinning and I can't move).
Dark Souls 2 Not Detecting Controller
I only have this problem with the souls franchise and any other game I play operate normaly. Sometimes the controller work and sometimes it doesn't. I have been able to finish dark souls yesterday and today I can't play it. I don't know what's causing the problem but I'm getting this message: 'Warning:could not open DS4 84:17:66:D4:86:6D exclusively' could this be the problem?Thank you in advance!
Mar 10, 2013 I've plugged in my wired xbox 360 controller to my PC, but dark souls will not recognize it. I can use the controller on games for windows live in the game, but dark souls does not respond to it. I have updated drivers, disabled other HID including keyboard and mouse, and restarted a few times but nothing has worked. I got motioninjoy, but it does not recognise the controller for some reason.
How to use the DualShock 4 on Dark Souls PCUpdateThere is now a seamless Dinput-Xinput wrapper for the DualShock 4 thanks to InhexSTER on the PCSX2.net forums. Download the latest beta from, run the program and your PS4 pad should be recognized. It even allows you to change the lightbar color and has rudimentary touch pad support. If this doesn’t work for you, try the old x360ce method below.Playstation 4’s DualShock 4 has plug and play compatibility with Windows, but that isn’t exactly as great as it sounds. It interfaces with the Dinput API, which is supported by many games, but the standard is Xinput, which is what the 360 pad uses. Most newer games just assume you’re using a 360 pad, so you will need an Xinput compatible controller or software that will send the Dinput events to the Xinput API. A program called x360ce does just that.
It’s a Direct X DLL injection that will map Dinput to Xinput inputs, allowing you to use the DualShock 4 for PC games that support the Xbox 360 controller. Unfortunately you need to inject x360ce into each game individually, but it’s a simple enough process.Dark Souls supports Dinput (but with no in-game options to map the buttons), as well as Xinput. You’ll need a specific configuration of X360 to make your PS4 pad work (as well as for other games that support both Dinput and Xinput), otherwise the buttons will be mapped incorrectly.Then. Drop the x360ce.exe file from the first download in the DATA directory of your Dark Souls installation.
That is, the directory that also contains DARKSOULS.EXE and DATA.EXE. Extract the second file you downloaded.
Take x360ce.gdb and xinput13.dll and copy them into your DATA directory as well.With your DualShock 4 plugged in via USB or paired through Bluetooth, run x360ce.exe from your DATA directory. You may get prompted to create a file. Just press OK.360ce should recognize your controller. Press some buttons and confirm that. Find the presets dropdown on the bottom, and select “Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2”. Load that profile and hit save. Now quit x360ce.
Go back to Steam and start Dark Souls. You will likely get a configuration error message from x360ce, but it should still work. You may experience issues if you are using mods that require you to modify DSfix’s DLL input chaining.
I suspect that this wouldn’t work with older versions of DSfix, so try installing the newest release if you are having problems. You do not have to run x360ce.exe each time you start the game. Just launch through Steam as usual.
