The physical controller should be well hidden (So well, that for some reason it no longer shows in hidhide! Ha! It's a ninja now!). Don't click that controller though, it's actually the virtual controller that ds4windows uses. Grab the newest version of DS4Windows-Ex and unzip it wherever you want.Įnjoy! Hey! HidHideClient doesn't have a red X on my controller anymore!

Get that baby intsalled! It needs to be in the default directory (your program files folder), in case future versions let you choose an install path. Any of them that have the HidHideCLI should work. Grab youself a version of HidHide from Nefarius' Github. That sounds romantic! What do I need to get this party started? This version just puts them in a room together with a bottle of champagne, a few sweet smelling candles and some slow jams. You can feel free to use the main branch's version, AND use HidHide at the same time. This fixes a lot of issues in games, like double inputs. If you don't have HidHide installed, it still works just the same as good ol' buggy Exclusive-mode always has! Enjoy the freedom to use buggy software! You do you, ya rebel! Why DS4Windows-Ex?īecause this is the only version of DS4Windows that uses ALL the newest features AND has a working Exclusive access mode for controllers. If you have HidHide installed, D4W will take care of of. Just install DS4Windows-Ex, turn on 'Hide DS4 Controller' and you're good to go. TL:DR / What does this mean for me, the user? If you have a game that has controller issues, like double inputs, turn on 'Hide DS4 Device' in the settings (*I recommend you just leave it on all the time).

Just make sure hidhide is turned on ('Enable Device Hiding' in Hidhide's client exe) if you've never activated it before, then use ds4windows like normal. You no longer need to fiddle with HidHide anymore to get your controllers hidden. This version of DS4Windows-Ex will automatically add itself to hidhide's whitelist and add any new controllers and their Bluetooth paths to the list of blocked devices. And even more of a pain if you use those same controllers on you ps4 as well. It's all pretty complicated, especially if you use Bluetooth AND USB.

But, HidHide sure can! HidHide has some neat features that are pretty useful, but you have to know how to add your devices, and whitelist programs, etc. We can't really fix that on DS4Windows' end. It's buggy, because some folks over at Microsoft decided that anything they make HAS to hog your controllers. With the newest version of DS4Windows-Ex comes and exciting new feature: HidHide Integration! Exclusive mode has always been a pain in the rear for the users.
