For those trying to get a PS controller to work who may find these posts later for later versions of the game.
For PlayStation controllers, you need to have this knowledge for many games in general. For PS4, PS5, to enable XInput and make it work on most games including this one.
Open DS4Windows > Duplicate or Create a new profile for Xinput or Xbox mode > Go to the "Other" Tab> Uncheck "Disable Virtual Controller", select "Emulated Controller": Xbox 360" from Drop-down > Apply > Save Profile
To verify it is working:
Go to "Settings" tab> Under "Utils", click "XInputChecker", it should now say "Status Connected" in green. Before, it would have said "Status Not Connected" in red.
Now you can use your PS4/PS5 controller with more games and cry less in comment sections.
