DS4 has just stopped connecting to PC

[JR98]

I mainly use my DS4 to play a majority of games on PC but for some reason it has just stopped working. It worked up until last night when it randomly just stopped while playing. Now it just flashes blue or yellow then switches off if it's moved at all. I've tried DS4 Windows and Input Mapper and it's just stopped working with both.

Reset button on the back might fix it.

Did it, still nothing. It works perfectly fine on the PS4 but I get these errors when trying to use it on PC

Personally I use the tool developed by Scarlet.Crush for my DS3, though it should work with the DS4 just as well. It's easy enough to install and use and it works absolutely perfect in every game I've tried, it even allows for wireless connection -- though you'll need an extra Bluetooth USB dongle for that. If your current software/drivers doesn't work, it might be worth a try. 👍

I have no clue what is causing the issue. The controller works fine on my PS4 but for some reason it just doesn't work on PC. Just flashes blue the entire time.

I use DS4 Windows and mine still works fine. There was an update recently, did you download it?

Yeah, it just stopped mid gameplay for no apparant reason.

Hmm, I haven't downloaded the update yet, maybe I shouldn't.

I'm not sure what the issue is. It works on my PS4 perfectly fine but Input Mapper and DS4 Windows both stopped working. Will re download DS4 Windows to see if that fixes it. It just had to happen as soon as I bought Assetto Corsa!

Hopefully a redownload of DS4 Windows will fix it. I don't use Input Mapper, so can't help you there.

Re downloading DS4 Windows has indeed fixed it. Really odd and I still haven't worked out what caused it to stop working in the first place...

Never had an issue as of yet with InputMapper. :3, But i did learn the DS4 is fussy which MicroUSB you use.

For some reason my DS4 doesn't work with Input Mapper. Haven't had any issues with DS4 Windows since I last fixed it.
