I am having a bug that won't go away. Every time I use a controller through DSX, the controller reads as being controller 2 even though only 1 controller is connected. I have LED passthrough enabled and it shows 2 white lights to indicate it is the second controller. I have HidHide and it says that it's hiding the physical controller but Path of Exile 2 reads 2 controllers and wont let me play single player.
Is there anyway to change which controller port the device appears as?

I have steam input disabled as well.

Still getting the same issue

Send logs please
I was going to buy a poe 2 the other day, I'll check your bug at the same time. One more question - is the error only in the poe?
surreal hearth
what happens if you first disable led passthrough and have player one led off or at player one instead
i mentiond to @zinc pivot long time ago i noticed that two LEDS come on when turning on Dualsense emulation initially and passthrough was on
one thing i have also noticed that might help and needs testing is launch a native single player game first if you own one this will switch the controller to one player LED
surreal hearth
Can't this game be played in native mode?

Just fixed this, DSX had default values set, even when virtual controller didn't get any data. So if LED passthrough is ON, and virtual controller is created, there should be no lights at all.
in terms of the game seeing 2 controllers, you will need to make sure that you start DSX -> Connect Controller before you start any game, or have any programs open that may be communicating with the controller. HidHide can't work if some program has a hook to it (Reading from/writing to controller)

Poe2 is the only one that does the coop thing. But haptics and trigger functions won’t pass through in Space Marine 2 either.
It goes back and forth now. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

That's expected behaviour for games with native haptics to not work with Dualsense emulation, not sure why triggers wouldn't work though if the toggle is on
Anyway use native mode wired for best experience
Make sure data sending toggle is off

I think I finally figured it out. For some reason neither of the controllers were selected to be hidden by the HIdHide configuration client. I checked the Sony wireless controller to hide, restarted the controller and it’s working now.
frank lake
(Sigh) now the triggers aren’t working
surreal hearth
(Sigh) now the triggers aren’t working
For what?
I'm getting confused by this thread, best to keep it to one topic this will help others as well as us, make a new ticket regarding different games and adaptive triggers please
frank lake
I will if I have further issues. It ended up being that I had disabled the wrong gamepad in the configuration app.

Same problem here, it detects 2 controllers. I'm really tired of having problems with hidehide every time I want to play. I have the dsx that starts when windows starts. So, I connect the controller via bluetooth, start the game and there are always problems.
I have been fighting with hidehide, until out of 10 attempts it only detects one controller.
I don't know what to do to avoid these problems.

What version of DSX are you using?
brazen turtle
DSX 3.1

DSX 3.1
Not sure why you are having so many issues, there will be a experimental restart button in the next update hopefully that might help your scenario. You could try reinstall the hidhide driver I guess. You have hidhide toggles on in DSX so DSX controls hidhide. You shouldn't need to configure anything
brazen turtle

Exactly, I don't understand why I have these problems, if dsx works perfectly, the problem is the hidehide, which I don't know why it has these problems. In fact, when I go 15 minutes without using the controller, it turns off and I turn it back on, it again causes the problem of detecting 2 controllers. And I have to open the hidehide and keep playing until path of exile decides not to detect a second controller...
I had DS4 installed before, but I don't know if that interferes with anything, I just deleted the folder. And I bought this DSX which is infinitely better.
Currently it recognizes 1 remote. But is it normal to have 3 devices there when I only have 1?
surreal hearth
Remove them all
surreal hearth
Restart DSX and see what happens
surreal hearth
You using Dualsense emulation
brazen turtle
Yes
brazen turtle
Mmmm
surreal hearth
brazen turtle
Should use Dualshock 4?
surreal hearth
Give any a try and see if the same issue persist
surreal hearth
Have you first restarted everything
brazen turtle
thats hidehide, 2 controllers there
surreal hearth
One is physical and the other is Dualshock emulation I guess
brazen turtle
I would say yes, but I get lost there hehe
surreal hearth
Just try restarting everything and use Dualshock emulation then launch game
brazen turtle
Ok i will restart everyting, restarting windows etc
The issue persist..
In options, in the controls section, it detects a controller without a name, it is empty, but it allows you to select it.

@zinc pivot please could you troubleshoot your driver there are way to many issues currently being reported again

No I can not, nothing has changed and we still don't have any capacity nor telemetry/diagnostics
So I can't just "troubleshoot something"
HidHide working perfectly fine and the same way as it did a few years ago
surreal hearth
Sure lol
brazen turtle
Should I select 1 option in hide? Or should they be unchecked? Because in DSX Hide there is one selected. But in HideHide there is not.
zinc pivot
Might be, I didn't make the integration
Works for literal millions of installations 
And is a free tool so all the support you get from me is free too
surreal hearth
For some reason the free version of DSX doesn't like hidhide for myself yet v3.1 I have no issues
zinc pivot
We can always deprecate HH and stop using it altogether
I forced nobody to integrate it

Actually not at all, am quite tired getting told HidHide is shit while literally working on millions of installs and just 5 DSX users every now and then making a tantrum
If it is so bad stop using MIT'ed software then, easy
So tired in fact that I might just hand off maintenance to someone else
Cuz so far all it did for me past years is cause more work I am not getting compensated for
wicked tide
Only had to reinstall it once and it likely was DSX having messed up its config tbh, no idea how users can mess up their installs but it's the most likely scenario
Yeah I get that.. :/

I didn't say that. Oh well it's up to you and Pali I just wanted to try and help people that have issues with it, for some reason it don't work with the free version of DSX anymore for me. Maybe windows changed something that broke integration
Let's see if the restart controller button helps those with issues
zinc pivot
The integration API is open source since day one. If there is a reproducible way of a proper bug reported to me, I can look into it. These threads that just boil down to "something doesn't work sometimes for some reason" don't do anything
Anyway, I digress, wer are just going in circles

Definitely need that, opt-in
brazen turtle
Well, it seems that I have found a method that works well. It is by deactivating the DSX's hidhide, so that it does not take control. Mysteriously there is no duplicity of controller..
then with standalone hidhide it works fine. I don't understand anything... so if this is of any help to anyone..

Thanks for letting us know, I was going to suggest that but got distracted. Hope it continues to work

adding to the discussion, as it seems relevant.
at times DSX<->HH communication works correctly (i.e. shows only the emulated device on HWTester.com); but at times it seems to lose track of HH, and the site lists both devices (actual and emulated).

going to 3.1, turning off the DSX control of HidHide launching the config, using xbox emu and connecting after like itt sys on HH then gamw over. it works

I suspect that this issue might be caused by users opening both DSX (i.e. background process in system tray) & HidHideConfigurationClient at the same time
I believe that there is some kind of socket lock towards HidHide backend, or a similar behavior, where both clients try to interact with HH at the same time, and start interfering with each other?
I will try to reproduce this (#soon), and reply if I find any coorelation.

Yes having hidhide open and using DSX to control hidhide whilst switching virtual device settings absolutely does cause issues.

Ok, but from what I understand, DSX should be able to manage gamepads automatically on its own? So there should not be any need to go into the O.G. HHClientConfig app?
