If you really are using the veeeery old Jay2Kings version and want to continue to use it then you should stick in this forum but developers are no longer following this github site. I recommend you to read through the above linked Wiki pages and I'm sure you understand why this issue is problematic and why some games required it and what is the difference between ExclusiveMode and HidGuardian tool.įollowup discussion should go to Ryochan7 github discussion forum if you really are using the Ryochan7/DS4Windows app version. HidGuardian tool has own setup procedures (see Wiki page) but the following "helper installer tool" does it as "one click" process. The latest version of Ryochan7/DS4Windows supports this out of the box if HidGuardian is installed. Otherwise this exclusive access will fail.Īlternative way to hide the original DS4 controller hid device from games is to use HidGuardian device driver. You really have to make sure that DS4Windows app is the FIRST application opening a connection to DS4 controller. The thing is that "Hide DS4 Controller" (=exclusive mode to hide the original DS4 hid device to avoid double inputs) is nowadays very sensitive to other applications.

(Hide-DS4-Controller-config-option)-tips-and-issues I recommend you to read through following Wiki page of Ryochan7/DS4Windows app version: I think you have actually downloaded the Ryochan7/DS4Windows version because of those logfile messages. You should head to the new and actively maintained "Ryochan7/DS4Windows" fork of the application:Īnyway. Please note that this "Jays2Kings/DS4Windows" app version (and this github discussion forums) is for nowadays abandoned and old version of DS4Windows application.

(i've only given the options of importance here) DS4Windows is an open-source gamepad input mapper and virtual emulator designed to use and connect your PlayStation controller (DualShock 3/4 and DualSense 5) to a Windows 10 & 11 PC. I've disabled 'Hide DS4' in settings and 'Use XInput ports: 2 -5'

I've not found any logs regarding DS4 in either the App folder, nor in the Roaming Profile folder, otherwise I would've attached them, if that helps.Įdit: just a thought, the fact that I plugged in a wired XBOX One Controller as controller one, and then set DS4 to start at XInput 2, should work as expected, meaning I should be able to play co-op with two controllers on my PC, no? That is ultimately my goal, but every forum I looked at said that Hide DS4 is required for this to work.Įdit 2: So I've managed to have two controllers (1 XBOX one wired, one PS4 six-axis) You must quit other applications like Steam, Uplay before. It works in scenarios where exclusive mode fails.

And if you really cannot get it to work then alternative solution is to use HidGuardian driver solution (explaiend in the Wiki page). I've stopped this service, even disabled and re-enabled all HID-compliant system controllers, then restart DS4 windows, and still: Warning: Could not open DS4 A4::E0 exclusively. And here is a link to Ryochan7/DS4Windows tips-and-tricks about the exclusive mode. So I've tried all of the above, my system after closing everything in the system-tray, shows only NvDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem.
