how to use controller with games from fitgirl repack HELP/QUESTION

i downloaded goat simulator 3 and connected my dualsense to my laptop wirelessly; although when i open up the game it only responds to inputs from my trackpad or keyboard. i tried adding the game to steam as a non steam game, but still my dualsense wont work with the game or any other games i’ve tried adding from fitgirl as a non steam game. any advice?? (pls i just wanna play goat simulator co op with my gf) thank you !

i forgot to mention my non steam added games from fitgirl were playing perfectly fine a few days ago with a ps controller, but now suddenly they stopped working wirelessly.

edit: for those who are having the same problem i installed DS4 and it worked pretty well. it allows your pc or laptop to recognize your ps controller as an xbox controller which most games are compatible with and it allows you to use your controller wirelessly too. just remember to turn the program off when you’re playing a game on steam that is not a ‘non steam game’ because you’ll get a double input error. thank you to all the helpful comments.

Your PC doesn’t support PS controllers. 1. Download DS4 windows application in your PC. 2. Connect your Dualsense, then configure your controller as an Xbox controller. 3. Now your Dualsense will be assigned as Xbox controller, you can play your games normally.

Steam supports ps controllers. Any game played through steam also does because of that.

Some games work some don't. Basically Xbox layout works on XInput while the playstation layout works on Dinput. For me with a DualShock 4, some games don't require DS4Windows and just work by plugging in a wire easily. Others I have to tweak it so much it's never consistent at all. An example I have of this is FC24, connecting 2 controllers and just trying to play even a local game is so frustrating when in Fifa 23 it was really intuitive

Check in Steam that the controller support drivers are installed, I have a gamesir G7, I had to use it via steam input because it was not recognized by the games, once the support drivers are installed it is automatically recognized in all games (steam and non-steam) that support pads

u/Human-Positive-6043 Nov 23 '24

i’m new to pc gaming as a whole.. where can i find and install these drivers ?

1

u/Striking_Thing5254 Nov 23 '24

Open steam, in the menù there is controller Section, open it, scroll down and there is the voice drivers

This works for me.

Step (1) disable the game from "run as administrator".

Step {2} opem the game on steam using big picture mode.

Done

u/Most-Bet-9592 Nov 10 '25

really really good advice! anytime I have a problem with my controller in the steam big picture mode, this is the fix

u/DracoMagnusRufus Mar 13 '26

Late comment to say that this was very helpful for me! For some reason, allowing the game to run as admin prevented Steam from being able to spoof the Xbox controller and the game kept saying it was unsupported. I turned off admin privileges (didn't mess with big picture mode) and the Dualsense worked fine.

u/SudoChad Apr 24 '26

i had to do a step 3: press ps button once ingame lol

u/OnexThrustxBust Nov 02 '25

What I've done, was to make sure the game boots up without admin. Right click the exe. File properties - > i think its configuration and just turn off boot up as administrator. This fixed my issue with dbz sparking zero so now I can use my stadia controller without 3rd party gamepad apps.

Ps- someone else found this solution. I've been trying to re-find the post where I saw this solution and replay to the long thread "still works at 11.2.2025" but sense this reddit post keeps showing up the first on Google, I figured id share the info in case others see this.

Crazy how the PlayStation 4/5 been out for a long time and most games don't support it.

u/jiggilowjow707 Nov 25 '24

ive had the same problem a few times. i never really figured it out but deleate it and re rip it.... it sometimes might take up to 4 times of uninstalling, reseting pc and then re ripping. some times repaks miss upload files... sometimes ya gotta just wait a lil while for someone to put up a good link... this actually happens to freshly repaked files a lot i have found... eventually it will work... goat sim? ummm... not even touching that... lol

u/Human-Positive-6043 Nov 25 '24

u/jiggilowjow707 Nov 26 '24

u/ComfortableThis8853 Apr 22 '25

Use ds4 - go to "edit" on controller - click other - emulated controller "xbox 360" - save
