Hello,
I used DS4Windows to make my DS4 work on Windows via Bootcamp on a Mac. It worked fine but now it doesn't pair with Mac OS properly. When I connect it via USB, the orange light on the back of the controller pulses once and then goes off, the controller then seems to work on Steam (Big Picture mode). When I try pairing it via Bluetooth, the blue light blinks a couple of time and then goes off - I can see that it establishes a connection but loses it in less than a second. Normally, the orange light would stay on and I never had any issues with connecting via Bluetooth.
Could DS4Windows have caused this or is it something else? The reset button underneath the controller doesn't seem to help this.
Thanks.

I recently switched to Windows 8 and started running to issues with DS4Windows. It was working fine when I was on Windows 7. The issue is the controller is connected to bluetooth but DS4Windows won't recognize it. If I unpair and pair it, DS4Windows will then recognize it. However, if I disconnect the controller DS4Windows won't recognize the controller. Using microUSB works, but when I remove the usb cable DS4Windows has the same issue.
