Bear in mind this is only a temporary fix until a proper solution comes around. It is rough, and far from ideal.
Right, so I have only tested this with Dark Souls 1 so far. Currently testing DS2 SOTFS (it is 64bit, so it's a bit strange.) As I do not really know of any other games which require the Hide Controller option, I can't test with those. But they SHOULD work with this method.
1. Plug in your DS4 to your PC as you always would and launch InputMapper/DS4Windows as Admin (I use DS4Windows).
2. Hiding the controller/using exclusive mode must be enabled (actually, it might not be necessary but all I know is that it works with it on).
3. Download
x360ce.
4. Open the ZIP and place the single .exe into the folder where your game .exe is.
5. Launch x360ce.exe which you moved into your game folder as an Admin.
6. It should ask if you want to create the ini and dll files required to make it work. Say yes to both.
7. It should then ask if you want to use the internet to automatically search for settings. Select that option. Then click finish.
8. This is a repeat of step 7 because it detects 2 controllers due to the way InputMapper/DS4Windows works.
9a. x360ce should detect 2 controllers now: Controller 1 should be "Wireless Controller", and Controller 2 should be "Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows).
9b. This might be optional, but to be sure, open Game Controllers in the bottom right of x360ce, then click Advanced and make the "Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows)" as your preferred device.
10a. Back in x360ce, click the Options tab (just to the right of Controller 4) and select "Enable Combining".
10b. Go back to the Controller 1 tab and click on the Advanced tab. Check "Combine this Controller".
10c. Go to the Controller 2 tab and click on the Advanced tab. Check "Combine this Controller".
11. Click Save, and then close x360ce. You don't even need it open when you play your games, just for that first time setup.
