Version 3.1.0

[Ryochan7]

Probably only going to support this project again for a short period of time. Maybe until the end of 2022. Also, this build targets .NET 6 so you might need to install a new .NET Runtime package before the updated DS4Windows build will run.

.NET Runtime x64
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.6-windows-x64-installer
.NET Runtime x86
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.6-windows-x86-installer

• Have project target .NET 6. Good performance jump. Make sure to download the .NET 6 Runtime before updating.
• Updated extra libs to target .NET 6
• Remove the use of the DS4Audio monitor class for select devices. Use appropriate DS4 feature flags instead. Will likely fix headphone muting issues while rumble is active for several third party DS4 controllers
• Changed expanded output range for Gyro Mouse-like Joystick
• Added additional checks for HidHideClient path
• Changed gyro mode subcommand calls for Switch Pro and JoyCon controllers
• Added try catch for initial outputKBMHandler connect call. Skip over failed FakerInput connection and attempt to fall back to SendInput
• Changed Backslash OEM key alias for FakerInput mapping
• Corrected current gyro toggle flags. Could have impacted profile switching
• Raise default warning intervals used for controller readings control and lightbar flashing
• Removed several DS4 BT Windows 7 workarounds. Seriously, Win 7 support is done. 8.1 is almost EOL
• Fixed use of WIN64 compilation symbol for HID serial reading routine. Visual Studio probably stripped it with the .NET 5 migration
• Binaries are no longer digitally signed. No longer have a valid OV certificate anymore. Going to make distribution harder

Hello! Does this version have vibration support for connecting the controller as a Playstation controller? Modifying a previous version from Reddit with vibration turned on worked great with my Dualsense + ViGEmBus.

[RaffaelLeduc]

Without a problem with vibration support in dualsense or DS4.

What do you mean by modifying a previous version? Also do you mean adaptive trigger haptics?

[Masamune3210]

There was a modded version floating around that has the vibration support re-enabled iirc

No, it doesnt work. It worked only with 3.0.10

[RaffaelLeduc]

Tks @Ryochan7 . We really needs this, very, very much. Tks again.

[Ceroes]

Appreciated!

May I ask if anyone knows if this update fixes the issue of swiping to profile switch turning itself back on?

It randomly turns itself on for me normally...

[Masamune3210]

Never had that happen personally

[Ceroes]

Unfortunately it happens to me a ton. I disable "Swipe Touchpad To Switch Profiles" and it always re-enables randomly itself It's not like this happens when it updates only either.

hello.

"Probably only going to support this project again for a short period of time. Maybe until the end of 2022."

What do you want to say? will you stop the support after?

[Masamune3210]

This project has been on hiatus for quite a bit now, they are saying that they might support it for a bit but probably not much past fixing what needs to be fixed

[GhostOfJericho72]

I'm hoping they add full support for the Dualsense Pro Controller Sony will officially announce soon. Fingers crossed

[LordFoogThe4rd]

return of the king

[Jagerlion]

I was surprised when I saw an update listed. YAY. our savior has returned.

[Skynet19972029]

Thank you so very much for this, Ryochan! ❤️

[GhostOfJericho72]

Been using your fork of DS4Windows since close to your initial release. Thank you for supporting an incredible piece of software for such a long time. I'm hoping you'll add support for the Dualsense Pro Controller Sony will officially announce soon. Fingers crossed

[Yohoki]

Wow! I thought you were out for good this time.

Hey, we didn't really get to say it before since you closed it suddenly, but Thanks for all your hard work! We appreciate all the work you did to get this program working so well, and supporting so many devices and features. It's in such a good state right now that even if we never see another update, it's in a great working order.

I've seen the code. It's a major mess. There's spaghetti everywhere. Probably always has been since Jays. The fact that you knew how messed it was and still added so many features is amazing. There a team working on it now, I'm sure you've seen them. And they've been trying some major refactoring and cleaning, and I think I even saw some UI updates. If you're done working with it, let them take it over for you. Don't feel like you HAVE to keep this up or fix everyone's problems. Go enjoy some games, bro. :D

And welcome back! Hope you had a good break from D4W and that your other projects have been going well. I think I saw a steam controller project a while back that was looking interesting.

[GravuTrad]

which team?

[GhostOfJericho72]

Good point Darth Maul.
Which team are you talking about, Yohoki?

[VIPLightning]

I think he's talking about Circumspector. Those guys have been doing reworks of the UI and other performance enhancements. But it's unstable at the moment and have been doing it since Ryochan has been on a long break.

[Yohoki]

I was kind of avoiding throwing their name out there.... our community has a habit of ticking off coders.... Yes. Circumspector. No, it's not ready. No, it's not downloadable. Don't bug them for it.

[vocaab]

yo, thanks for this. People really appreciate this thankless work.

[Dron12345678]

Does not work, pops up the window "To run this application, you must install missing frameworks for. NET., although the runtime is installed.

[GhostOfJericho72]

No offence mate, I'd reword that; it works for most of us here.
Uninstall everything including .NET 6. Then give it another go.
Remember, Ryochan7 doesn't have to support this software, and he won't be for much longer.
Please don't dissuade him, so he buggers off early...

[princessMagenta]

I was having the same problem, but it turns out I had installed the .NET console runtimes and not the desktop runtimes. Make sure you're using the ones from here:
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.7-windows-x64-installer

and here:
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.7-windows-x86-installer

[headhunchonero]

hey i installed .net 6, restarted my pc and everything but when i click on ds4 3.1 it doesnt load the application up. windows 11

[GhostOfJericho72]

Try uninstalling everything to do with DS4 - backup your profiles first if you have them - then restart, then reinstall. See if that helps.

[s0alqasim1d]

Thanks Ryochan7, It was a really pleasant surprise after booting up.
