Thanks for the advice. I was under the impression from discussions that it was better just to leave whatever drivers Windows installed so I deliberately did not install the drivers from ASUS' website. Now that I have though, I find 1.3 RC3 to be very stable and my controllers have not disconnected once since then.
I find 1.3 RC4, however, to have some issues. I have Windows 7 x64, WIDCOMM bluetooth stack, and Hide Controller enabled. Here's a reproducible bug on my end:
- Run DS4Tool. Have Controller A wierelessly connected as Player 1, and have Controller B wirelessly connected as Player 2.
- Turn off both controllers with Options + PS Button.
- Turn on Controller B so it connects as Player 1, and turn on Controller A so it connects as Player 2.
For me, Controller A would not properly connect as Player 2. The lightbar flashes white and then turns off. It shows up in DS4Tool with the proper ID number but it's at 0% battery power. It also shows up in the Controller settings as an Xinput device with 10 buttons but the buttons and sticks won't register when you do the test. Controller B as Player 1 does register though. Not until I press Stop and Start again in DS4Tool do both controllers work properly, but Windows automatically assigns Controller A as P1, and Controller B as P2. With 1.3 RC3, I can freely hot-plug the controllers and rearrange them without having to ever press Stop/Start.

Another issue for me is after a reboot and I open DS4Tool before turning the controller on, the controller would not connect properly. Just like before, it flashes white and shows up as 0% battery power when I turn on the controller. Pressing Stop/Start afterward establishes a proper connection. 1.3 RC3 connects upon a reboot every time. I've tested it numerous times on RC3 and RC4. Connecting the controller before opening DS4Tool works just fine though.

Here is something else I have not paid attention until now, and I don't know if it's normal or not. I'm sorry if it has been answered before.
The above image is what my Game Controller settings look like if I disconnect my controllers, stop DS4Tool and close it. After a reboot and not doing anything, options for "Wireless Controller" show up in there even though I don't have my controllers plugged in nor have I pressed any buttons. I understand that's the normal DirectInput device that the PS4 controller is seen as, but has it always shown up as connected after a reboot? I know it's always there in the Devices and Printers panel but I'm not sure about the Game Controller settings.
Edit: My controllers aren't automatically on and connected. It just shows up on the computer as if it is.
