Connecting two ps5 controllers causes one to disconnect randomly, if you could bug test that and see if it's code based issue it would be greatly appreciated

The chances are that your BT adapter sucks:

Asus z490 maximus xii hero motherboard with the bt5 adapter

My point still stands. Read the link. Expensive motherboard does not mean quality adapter.

I have a $5 4.0 BT adapter from ali express and can 4 controllers with no latency issues. Windows's default Bluetooth driver stack is the one that handles maintaining connection with controllers, DS4Windows just asks windows to receive and send data to connected controllers. If a controller is losing connection then that's usually not DS4Windows fault, specially since in your case having only 1 controller connected works

Good God. It is your responsibility to help diagnose the issue. You are the one having the problem but you choose to be lazy and useless. I can connect and use several BT controllers at the same time just fine.

seem to have another issue with DS5 controllers on the most recent updates. setting the emulated output to playstation disables vibration on my PS5 controller. earlier versions work fine however.

[Brown5ugar]

just did some checking. Issue disappears when going back to 3.0.10

Rumble is intentionally disabled (along with the lightbar passtru) when using a virtual DS4 because of an issue of the vigembus (the driver ds4windows uses to create virtual controllers)

The issue caused rumble to never stop sometimes or the lightbar to change to wrong colors in games that try to control it.

It will only be fixed when the next version of the vigembus is released (probably only on 2022)

Check the changelog of 3.0.11, there will be a comment somewhere about "feedback disabled when using ds4 emulation"

[Brown5ugar]

most poggers response. Will check the changelogs more carefully next time

"Emulated controller" setting doesn't work on my ps4 controller. Games just reject to initialize it. But wit "xbox 360" profile all alright.

You described your issue in a really confusing way. Better explain it in a clearer manner

Why does everyone expect the setting to magically make their PC a PS4? Very few games support the DS4 controller in any form so, in a large majority of cases, emulating an Xbox 360 controller is required to have some form of controller support in PC games. That is the primary reason DS4Windows exists in the first place. There are specific use cases for emulating a DS4 controller that I won't go into yet again. Again, can't have nice things.
