I bought the game on Epic Store, on computer. But the game doesn’t recognize my dualshock 4 controllers. I want to play in splitscreen with my friends, but it is impossible because it doesn’t recognize the controllers! If I run the game by steam or anything else, it allows me to play with the controller, but not to splitscreen because the controller is still not recognized. Help please. ---
