7th Heaven / Re: [FF7 PC] Mod Manager - 7th Heaven (v2.2 BETA)

Hi, I just wanted to speak my experience with the loader and ps4 controller. Perhaps some of this info should be moved to the first post?

I added 7th Heaven to Steam, launch it from there, and couldn't get the PS4 controller to work until just recently. I don't use DS4Windows. I don't like key mappers.

• I opened the Control Panel and then the devices section. The old Control Panel.
• I connected my DS4 controller to a power plug, not a computer or device.
• Clicked the button to add a device.
• Put DS4 controller into pair mode (hold share+PS button)
• Put the controller down and waited a very long time, while Windows told me it was installing the controller
• When finally finished, I went to the Bluetooth config window, unplugged and shut off the controller (Hold PS button for 10 seconds)
• I noticed that the Bluetooth config window still said Connected even though the controller was off. I rebooted - save effect.
• I pressed the PS button, it instantly connected to Windows 10.

At this point, the controller worked as though it was made for Windows, with every game except for FF7.

Then it dawned on me that steam may not launch as admin when the system first starts up. I closed 7th Heaven and Steam, ran Steam as admin, launched 7th Heaven through Steam, launched FF7 and the controller worked perfectly.

Then I just had to pick a controller setting in Settings >> Game Launcher Settings >> Options >> Controls

I hope this helps some people.
