what controller are you using?
how are you trying to connect the controller?
do other xbox games see the controller connected?

[fringe epoch]

ps4 controller

im trying to change the input in the game but its not possible

idk if other xbox games see it connected

well you want to test a other game then that will give you a idea of the issue.

If the controller workes in a other game then its likley just not supported.

taking a look Sony advise that you should connect the controller to a PC with a USB cable and not bluetooth https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps4-pair-dualshock-4-wireless-with-pc-or-mac/#connect

it should then work in Supported games

it works when i play via the cloud

and it works on more games then aswell

X cloud does support ps4 controllers so it may just be it isnt supported in that setup
