📋 About This Mod
When connecting a PS4 controller to my PC, the game by default seems to still use the Xbox controller buttons, probably because I use https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases. This mod should make the game always use the PS4 controller buttons.
To install:
- Stick all 3 files directly in AEWFightForever/Content/Paks (no ~mods)
- Do not change the file names

For PC gamers who use a PS4 controller and want the on-screen prompts to match their muscle memory. If you're tired of seeing 'A' and 'B' when you're pressing 'X' and 'O', this mod is for you. Skip it if you're fine with Xbox prompts or use a different controller.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure DS4Windows is running and your PS4 controller is connected before launching the game, or the mod might not take effect.
- If the mod doesn't work, check that you've placed the files in the correct game directory—usually the main game folder where the executable is.
- Since this mod is from 2023, verify that your game version hasn't changed the UI layout, which could break the replacement.
