A small update to make everyday use smoother. Thanks for helping us catch these issues!

What's fixed

  • Fixed a freeze when opening Log after long sessions.
  • Made scrolling, clearing and exporting the Log page more reliable.
  • Fixed cases where the DualSense lightbar did not return to your profile color after closing a game.
  • Fixed an update issue that could leave setup stuck on another installation finishing.
  • VIIPER repair now keeps DS4Windows open. Missing or mismatched versions are restored automatically, with the correct download used when needed.
  • Portable stays portable. VIIPER is repaired beside DS4Windows, without moving your files or changing another installation.
  • Removed VIIPER's separate update pop-ups. The matching version now comes with DS4Windows updates.
  • Refreshed the getting-started guide to make setup easier to follow.

How to update

  1. Close your games, DS4Windows and VIIPER.
  2. Recommended: download and run DS4Windows_5.0.11.0_Setup_x64.exe. Your saved profiles are kept.
  3. Portable: back up your profiles and settings, then extract the whole DS4Windows_VIIPER_x64.zip into your existing portable folder, replacing the packaged app files. Keep your profiles, settings and portable-data folder.

Both downloads include the matching VIIPER. No separate VIIPER update is needed for this hotfix.

This is an unsigned Windows x64 release candidate, so Windows may show a publisher warning.

Enjoy, and thanks for your feedback!
