Vigem 1.16.116 rumble problem (Dualshock 4 v2)

[LuismaSP89]

Some problems when the Vigem 1.16.116 are installed on the system. When a rumble event comes on some games (Using different emulators) the controller freezes and the character keeps walking/shooting/whatever. After uninstalling the Vigem, the problem was solved.

This reminds me a similar problem on another software called ScpServer:

nefarius/ScpToolkit#39

The thing is that I need Vigem in order to use DS4Windows + Cemu emulator. In this emulator, the problem happens in every game with rumble functions.

On another emulators such as RPCS3, the problem happens also in the games. But if I uninstall Vigem (Since RPCS3 haves dualshock passthrough and it doesn't need an external software) the problem is solved again.

There are any plans for releasing a new Vigem version? The latest one was on Dec 19. Almost a year ago.

My specs:

Windows 10 x64
GTX 970
i7 4790k
16 GB DDR3

Thank you for this awesome software.

There was a major bug regarding rumble in the client SDK so if these solutions still build upon an outdated client lib they might suffer from what you report. As for a new release, it's in the works but it addresses other issues, no rumble ones since, well, there are none known 😉

@nefarius So, you mean this rumble problems are goint to stay for long, since the wip next release are not going to fix this? :S bad news.

No, they are saying that it's an issue with the app that you are using and that the app needs an update, not the backend....

[Masamune3210]

In other words, update your shiz 😃

@LuismaSP89 thanks for the specs of your machine but the software versions and origins of the tools you use would help a great deal in this case 😉

[LuismaSP89]

Sorry, but I don't get the point.

The software I use is the latest RPCS3 and CEMU versions. Both of this are working fine since If I uninstall Vigem, everything works fine.

The problem begins when Vigem is installed on the system. The rumble problems begin. If I uninstall Vigem, everything goes normally.

Like I said, I use Vigem because is needed for the DS4 windows "also using latest version" and the DS4 windows is needed for CEMU to enable motion controls.

In other words:
Cemu + vigem + ds4windows = rumble causing freezes on the controller.

Cemu without vigen and ds4windows = rumble working but without motion controls.

Rpcs3 without vigem or ds4 windows = all works fine, since rpcs3 have a dualshock4 passthrough.

Rpcs3 + vigem installed on the system= rumble problems like on cemu.

Ds4 windows 2.1.5: https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows

Rpcs3 0.0.13-11178:

Cemu 1.21.5:

This problem is happening for long ago, and solves when Vigem is uninstalled. I used vigem for many years. And the problem suddenly beginned on the latest version. This is the reason I discarded the problem on the emulators. (Also it's too coincidence that happens in different emulators, and solves by uninstalling vigem)

Ok, after many tries, seems fixed by uninstalling Vigem, clearing cache, and installing again. Sorry.

[nefarius]

Interesting, clearing what cache though? Might help others...

[LuismaSP89]

System cache (using ccleaner) after uninstalling Vigem. Also I deleted the pagesys file and enable it again. But I don't know if this one is necessary.
