Fix: Controller Not Working on PC

In this tutorial, you will find steps to make the controller (gamepad, joystick) work with Mafia: Definitive Edition.

Method #1 (DS4 Controller)

Download DS4Windows

To achieve PS4 controller functionality on PC you’ll need the help of a piece of online software. That software is called DS4Windows, and as the name suggests it has been specifically developed for this exact purpose. It works by tricking your PC into thinking that the Dualshock 4 being connected is actually an Xbox 360 controller, which as a Microsoft product is already compatible. To download it head to the DS4Windows website.

2.4 GHz Wireless dual vibration gamepad. 12 action buttons, 2 sticks and 4-way D-pad. Uses 2 x AAA batteries. Play up to 30 hours (with vibration) or 100 hours (without vibration) on one battery charge. Comfortable grip for long comfortable gaming. Works with PC, PlayStation 2 and 3.
You can even update the controller’s firmware from your PC if you’re using Windows 10. Macs support Xbox One controllers wirelessly without anything extra, but you’ll need extra software if you want to plug your controller in via USB. Specifically, you need the 360Controller driver, which extends support for wired USB Xbox One controllers.

Set up DS4Windows

Logitech Dual Action The Logitech Dual Action gamepad has a very similar mapping to the PS2 pad, but some buttons and triggers need to be swapped to mimic the Xbox controller. Download Logitech Dual Action Gamepad Gaming Software v.5.00.182 for Windows XP, 2000. Download is free of charge.

The downloaded file should be labeled as ‘DS4Windows.exe’. Click on it, and from here it’ll begin the set-up process until a pop-up menu will appear, asking you to choose where you want your settings and profiles to be saved – all standard stuff. Following this, click the ‘Install the DS4 Driver’ option and the software will get to work making any plugged-in PS4 controller compatible with Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. If you’re still running Windows 7 then you’ll need to also click ‘Install 360 Driver’.

Connect your PS4 controller to the PC

It’s what we’ve all been waiting for: Connect your PS4 DualShock 4 controller to your PC or laptop. You can do this using any USB-Micro USB cable or connect the gamepad wirelessly via Bluetooth. Not all PCs and Laptops will have a Bluetooth receiver built-in, but it’s relatively easy to find one that will plug into your set-up.

Then it’s just about getting the two to talk as you would do with a Dualshock 4 and PS4 console. Hold the center PlayStation button, and this will force DS4Windows to open its Action Centre – then simply click ‘Bluetooth’ and select ‘Wireless Controller’.
