It serves as an additional means of feedback for the what is happening in game.Īs an example, I tried switching from using a standard Dualshock 3 to the Dualshock 4 for multiplayer in The Last of Us.

You're free to dislike it, but to say it doesn't add anything to the experience is simply not true. I hate whenever developers don't let you disable it, Brothers was guilty of this.

I also hate the controller vibration just like I think it is a stupid annoying gimmick that is distracting and adds nothing to the experience. If not, I'm juuuuust about ready to say screw it and re-install Windows. I'll list my PC's components if that helps:ĪMD FX-8320 CPU (overclocked to 4.20GHz-no vibration with or without OC)Īnd about six fans-three exhaust, three intake So, I come to you knowledgeable duders and ask: What the hell? I haven't installed anything recently that could be the culprit, be it hardware or software. All controllers are working fine otherwise-all buttons respond as normal, no lag. Next I tried uninstalling the drivers (the Xbox one and the generic PS4 one), doing a little cleanup with CCleaner, then re-installing, but that didn't help. Oh, and I tested a PS4 controller (without DS4 Tool) too.still no vibration. I also tested both controllers on every available USB port.still nothing. I have a backup controller so I tested that-same thing. Fiddling with the in-game vibration setting didn't help so I backed out and tested vibration in other games.nothing, nada, zip. I bought Mercenary Kings on Steam and tried playing with my wired Xbox 360 controller and immediately noticed a lack of vibration. I've used Xinput wrappers in the past with my OG Xbox controller so it's nothing new.I haven't played any games on my PC for a couple weeks. The DS3 in comparison did not, which necessitated hacked up drivers like MotionInJoy to use. In any case, I was kind of shocked when I plugged in the DS4 and it actually registered as a functional joystick (DirectXInput) out of the box. I figure Sony will probably never release proper Xinput drivers for it on PC but I'll eventually be getting a PS4 at some point so I can replace it with a proper PC joystick and I'll have a second DS4 for the PS4. Had to manually remove MotionInJoy in order to get both to actually show up as the proper devices again which was a pain.ĭecided to get a DS4 just today instead of mutz around with MotionInJoy again.

I loaded up MotionInJoy to use my DS3 but after some windows updates, it stopped working and my DS3 and bluetooth adapter wouldn't even register as being connected, with or without the drivers loaded. My wife is on break between semesters so I installed Alice Returns on her iMac and gave/loaned her my 360 joystick to play. Just bought one today specifically for PC.
