What gaming platform are you using - Steam, Xbox pc, Epic games etc,
Is the DS4 also connected via Bluetooth?
Is DS4 Windows installed? This may be required to emulate gamepad in games.

I am using steam on my pc, yeah the ds4 is connected via bluetooth and will play other games wireless no problem, just not D&D and no i dont have ds4 windows, im not sure what that is
It allows you to emulate xBox controller with the DS4, change various settings including binding keyboard keys to buttons Amongst other things.

Some Steam games will only work with non Steam controllers in Big Picture mode, ensure you’re using this.
Is the DS4 listed under Bluetooth? It’ll show as a wireless controller.

I downloaded ds4windows and got it set up but it wont register my controller unless plugged in. i have also tried big picture mode on steam, still didnt work. and yeah the controller shows up as wireless bluetooth device but still nothing works without the controller being plugged in. its not that big a deal i can live with a wired connection lolIt allows you to emulate xBox controller with the DS4, change various settings including binding keyboard keys to buttons Amongst other things.

I would delete the controller from Bluetooth. Connect it via wire & open Bluetooth (for some reason it does appear on mine when I first did this), then try connecting via Bluetooth with it connected. If not then disconnect the cable & set up for Bluetooth.
If it still doesn’t work then I can’t think of what the problem could be.
