Problem using PS4 Dualshock with Shadow of Mordor game

Ok.

For the record, this issue shouldn't exist. i.e. if you've got the same setup as me you shouldn't need any third party software/extra drivers etc to make it work.

I contacted Feral directly & they were really helpful.

They sent me a pList file to add directly to the game package in my Applications folder. Once this was in there & I re-booted the game it worked perfectly with the PS4 controller (it even flashed up the Playstation Controller icons).

On the one hand really great that they were on it and resolved it so fast. On the other bit annoying that it didn't work as advertised in the first place.

If you have similar issues - would recommend that you email them directly from the pre-game screen.

Cheers

I can't find anything directly from Sony.

Beginning to wonder of the version of the game Apple carries & the version Steam carries is different. i.e. the latter has games that are reconfigured to work with controllers. And the former not.

On some sites about using PS4 controllers with Mac they talk about "mapping" programs - like Joystick Mapper on the app store. These apparently allow you to manually teach the computer what each button on the Ps4 means.

Annoying really, as I assumed when Feral said "compatible" - that it meant out-of-the-box compatible.

Still hoping someone has some good news on this?

Thanks for the suggestion. Did try this before, but couldn't make it work. It says:

"With OpenEMU, you can download and play classic arcade games, as well as old console games."

Tried various ways to make it function with Shadow of Mordor, but I'm not sure that it's meant for newer games.

To be fair, it does also say:

"Other games have built-in support for game controllers, and you can set them up using a similar process."

But I couldn't see how I could apply it to the game in question.

Maybe I'm wrong & there's a way to do it?
