Steam recently released support for the PS4's Dualshock 4 Controller and since I don't have an xbox controller, that's perfect for me. I can't use my laptops touch pad since I can't move and look around at the same time (I've tried disabling everything related to it, it still won't let me move the camera) so I plugged in my DS4 (since Subnautica's Steam page says it has full controller support) and checked the controller bindings so I could change them to my own liking. Firstly, the bindings only relate to the Xbox controller layout so it's a bit a headwork (but nothing difficult for someone who's played both systems). But for people for haven't, it could be confusing. I dunno if its possible to differentiate between controllers, but if its not, maybe put all the button variations in? (Like Jump = X/A and whatever the Steam controllers button is)
However, this issue was nothing that actually effected me. However, when I loaded up the game there was a gamebreaking issue. The camera constantly turned to the left. A steady, unrelenting turn that could not be stopped. At one point I somehow did stop it, I think it was because I opened the menu, but then it never turned again. In both cases, the camera couldn't be controller by the right stick. I assumed it was a binding gone wrong, but theres no way to re-bind the camera control since it's not in the controller binding settings. Is this just an oversight? Am I missing something? It can't really be considered a full-controller support game if one of the controllers supported by Steam doesn't work with it. Hopefully, I've just messed something up and it can be easily fixed. I'm not using DS4Windows (and I won't if someone suggests that). The game works fine but I just can't control my character right with or without the controller.

So I take it you're not interested in using any middle-man software between your controller and the game? Or just this DS4Windows program?
Anyways, I'd look in Windows' joystick settings and recalibrate the deadzone and center etc.
But now is just spins and I have no control of my charter. Other Unity games like Saurain and 7 days to die work fine with my Dualshock 4 controller. I know its not driver issue, it's something to do with Subnautica..
as said. It USE to work fine few patches ago (oct/November maybe?)
I really hope somebody from Dev team will test Subnautica with DS4 controller please..

I'm using DS4Windows and so far all the other games I've tried work just fine.
You can give that a try
It works fine in OTHER unity games.
They changed something and or when cooked it for final version. Something broke. I've see other ppl having xbox 360 controller issues as well.
Please can dev look into this.. Thank you

Im not using any driver or 3rd party app at least for windows 7 Pro 64bit.. It just worked and I'm not sure how.. Maybe cuz natively some games actually have proper DS4 Controller support.. But for whatever reason now. It's broke when it use to work fine before.
Guest what. I've said many MANY times but nobody seems to able read or understand.
Saurian a Unity game works FINE with my Dualshock 4 controller.
7 days to die another UNITY game works fine.
Subnautica use to work fine. Since release of newest version. It stop working. Some games have native supported drivers in there game when they cook it. Something has changed.
Turning on DS4 support in big picture does not help. tried it on and off. Same issue.
It shows fine for in windows controller Panel and has been like that for awhile.
As I've said not using any Controller drivers

Ps there is No ds4 drivers installed under windows 7 device manager either. I double checked.

I do have Ds4 Windows installed, however I didn't start it when I plugged controller. In Steam, after plugging the controller, go to Menu Steam-> Settings->Controller->General Controller Settings. There mark PS4 Configuration Support, and UNMARK everything else, plus set Controller Shutdown Time to "Never". Save and exit. Start Subnautica and in options go to Controller. There mark Enable Controller and set Layout to PS4.
That made mine work correctly. Hope it will help someone
