Using A Controller

I'm trying to play this game with a dualsense controller (PS5 controller) and I can not get it to work at all. I've tried DS4Windows, steam controller configuration and just the controller without any programs enabled. It has worked 2x and showed the playstaition prompts but I can not get it to work consistently.

Same here, I had to switch to my old DS4 to get it working right.

Unfortunately I no longer have a DS4. I thought about keeping one of them when I sold my PS4 but I guess I made an oopsie

**UPDATE**
I have found some consistency in getting the dualsense to work (with and without steam controller configuration.) by following the following steps:
1. Launch game
2. Unplug the dualsense controller
3. Alt+Tab out of the game
4. Plug in the dualsense controller
4. Wait about 10 seconds
5. Alt+Tab in and out of the game until the controller works.

I find it silly that this is a fix and hope there will be a patch............
