Dualsense won't work in nier automata

Hello. I am using my dualsense through usb in nier automata. i have steam input disabled. the only way to get my controller to register is to have it on xbox mode and xinput api enabled. But when its configured like this, i get double inputs. if i disable xinput, i dont get any input at all. I tried using ds4 with hidhide and emulating and xbox 360. same thing. ive tried just about evry setting and combinations of settings that i can to make my controller work. ive even gone in to change the settings through the .ini files of specialk in the game, and still no luck. if anybody has figured out a way to get their dualsense to work in nier automata or any other game, with either just specialk, or with ds4, hidhide, or steam input, please let me know how. im at a complete loss.

some info:
specialk version: FAR v0.10.3 for Nier: Automata (local install)
ds4 windows version: 3.3.3
hidhide version: 1.2.122.0

that sounds like you have something running causing the double input when sk enables its xbox mode. maybe ds4windows, which you don’t need if you’re using sk’s xbox mode… so i’d close ds4windows if you have it running. if not that, maybe steam’s xbox driver or something else you have installed or running is causing the problem on your end…

with just sk here, i’m not getting any double input with my dualsense using sk’s xbox mode in nier automata.

also, do keep in mind that unlocked/very high fps in this game’s main menu can cause very fast gampad input
