Full Version: RPCS3 crashes when selecting the Dualshock 4 handler
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am unable to select the Dualshock 4 handler when my DS4 is connected (USB).
A blank crash screen appears (attached as "WithDS4ConnectedFirst").

If I disconnect the DS4, I can then select the Dualshock 4 handler and save, however, if I connect the DS4 and then try to go back into the Pads tab, it crashes with Fatal Error shown in screenshot "WithDS4ConnectedAfterSaving".

Logs and system info are attached. I am using the latest PS3 firmware (4.84) and the latest build of RPCS3 (0.0.6-8440 Alpha).

NB: I have tried two DS4 controllers with 3 different USB cables, all of which work fine in the PS1 (ePSXe) and PS2 (PCSX2) emulators.
I do not have DS4Windows, or any other Input Mapping software installed or running. Windows automatically detects the controller as "Wireless Controller".

Cheers,

Are you doing this without any game running?
Starting a game with DS4 handler set with a disconnected controller and then connecting it mid game causes RPCS3 to crash, it's a known issue

Hi there,

I've not added any games to the system yet. Just trying to get the controller set first.

Cheers.
I have "resolved" this issue. I had removed the battery from my DS4 controllers, as I had no intention of using them wirelessly. It seems RPCS3 does not like that idea. The controllers work fine with the battery in and charged.
