you need to download ".NET 5.x runtime for DESKTOP" version and not those other .NET 5.x versions (for console or server apps). And make sure to download the 64bit x64 version from the .NET runtime AND from the DS4Windows app (DS4Windows_3.0.13_x64.zip).

PS. Topics with "help meeeee" title won't help much. Imagine having 100+ different topics with the same kind of title. If you are not ready to help us to help you then why should we bother?

i downloaded the 64 one for desktop and it still doesnt work
also do you need windows if so then i cant

[Masamune3210]

Wait, what are you trying to run it on? DS4Windows only supports windows

[Yohoki]

lmao. The name is literally DS 4 Windows.

If you're on linux, Ryochan has worked on a similar program for linux, but it looks like he's gotten a bit burn out on keeping that one up to date. I don't blame him, gaming on linux is kinda.... meh. You can look at the conversation on issue #537 and the github page here: https://github.com/Ryochan7/ds4linuxtest

Unfortunately, there's no way to easily make ds4win work in WinE, AFAIK.

If you're on mac, I've no idea what to point you to there. I only use Windows and Ubuntu, so I have no experience with the mac side of gaming.

When did Linux users get so dumb? Wine existing has made people brain dead apparently.

After the whole Turok Linux port debacle and the killing off of the native port scene by embracing Proton (which hardly ever works), you people don't deserve what little you have. This is coming from a long time Linux user (circa 2003) that has grown to hate the scene over the past few years. I guess it is better that I never got around to making a Linux controller mapper again; the main problem was just making a new mapper system in general.
