Some issues, Idle disconnect does not work. about ds4windows HOT 29 CLOSED

Got a new version packaged

Idle disconnect is just for BT and Sony dongle.
On cable the controller will stay connected.

All of those issues are not happening on my end so it could be that you need a reinstall of the drivers.

from ds4windows.

Well the controller always stays lit up and as i said even in BT, i already removed the drive and reinstalled, with default profile then set idle disconnect, same results always on.

Before when i had idle on even when connected through cable the light would turn off after the time i have set which is not happening anymore.

Just tested this with Bluetooth and the Sony dongle and idle disconnect works properly on my system. Idle disconnect checks are skipped if the controller is charging via a USB cable so that is working as intended. If idle disconnect activated while charging the controller in a previous version then that version was broken as it was not designed to work that way. Can you share the profile that you are using or at least specify what time interval you are using for idle disconnect?

Also, middle click on the tray icon works on my system fine.

Default.zip
It's just the default profile with idle disconnect set to 1 minute and the controller is not charging it's on 100% battery.
I deleted everything, removed the driver then reinstalled the driver and middle click is working again, not idle disconnect though, still the same.

Are you on the regular DS4 or the pro one?

from ds4windows.

The profile works fine on my system. The only thing that I can think of that might cause a problem is maybe the controller idle check is somehow failing. Is there any large jitter with your analog sticks? Is there something on the touchpad that might be causing the program to detect a touchpad press event? The idle disconnect routine is working as intended so I am wanting to think that the problem has to be regarding how the controller state is being interpreted.

from ds4windows.

Nope this is the normal DS4 and as i can see the controller is clean no dust or what not, it's kinda new too well it's 3 months old. No jitters or anything everything is steady, maybe it's my windows or something messed up and not hardware, no idea.

Edit: Just now looking at the log it says Xbox controller #1 failed to unplug

OP is correct about it supposing to disconnect. I was the one that asked jay for the feature. But, when plugged, the light only is supposed to time out. Controller is not supposed to fully disconnect. Not the charging mode light, but the normal non-charging light is supposed to follow the rules of the idle time. And of course any button press afterwards is supposed to reilluminate said light.

Thanks for the clarification shinra358. I am taking a look at this with version 1.4.52. It looks like light dimming does not work when the controller is plugged in with that version either. However, the light does dim as the idle disconnect timer winds down when the controller is not plugged in. The latest release works the same way. I will check the code and try to get this functionality working as intended.

Also, the Color by Battery % option has to be enabled in order for light dimming to work with the idle disconnect timer. The option is not enabled in the profile that was posted.

from ds4windows.

Update. I found the problem but I would like clarification about what the behavior should be in one case. Should light dimming always occur when plugged in, when the battery is fully charged, or only while the battery is still charging? In the current code, light dimming will only work when the controller is plugged in if the battery is fully charged.

Sorry if i confused you or anything it's as shinra said the light used to dim aka idle disconnect while plugged in.

Fix not working.

from ds4windows.

I can confirm too, it's still the same as before.

Same problem here with version 1.4.75 (Windows 7). Idle disconnect does not work.
My controller is plugged in and the battery is fully charged.
I use DS4Windows v1.4.57 to solve this issue!

from ds4windows.

I have this problem since version 1.4.58. Idle disconnect works with 1.4.57 (2 Apr) but it doesn't work with the next versions.

from ds4windows.

Yes only while wired. Idle disconnect works with 1.4.76 with bluetooth

from ds4windows.

yeah, new version still has the issue.

from ds4windows.

any update to this issue?

from ds4windows.

I tried looking into this and nothing seemed to stand out. It was the last time I edited DS4LightBar.cs which was the 18th. I will try to properly debug that section and check what might be happening.

from ds4windows.

This is what you changed since I have this problem:

Version 1.4.58 (8 Apr)

• Added initial support for Sony DS4 Wireless Adaptor
• Allow disconnect from Controllers tab to work with DS4 Wireless Adaptor. Change was made thanks to aspalmer
• Fixed issue with multiple special actions causing program crashes
• Fixed various special action types
• Small changes to improve performance for mapping translation

from ds4windows.

Well I stink. Found an old assumption that kept this functionality from working with USB connections. I have tested it with a recent test build and the most recent change. Idle disconnect light does not work with the test build for a USB connection but it works as intended with the most recent change.

from ds4windows.

can you upload this build?

from ds4windows.

Just gave it a try on the latest build and it's all sorted out in it, thanks mate :)

from ds4windows.

yeah, all good here.

from ds4windows.

Same here! Thanks Ryochan7
