    Working on moving our current project to the new Input System.

    Everything works perfectly in Editor however when building to Desktop only Xbox and Mouse/Keyboard Controls work.

    PS4 controllers both Wired and over Bluetooth do nothing.

    Odd since it works as intended in editor.

    We're using Unity 2019.3.10

    Anyone else have this issue?

    I'm having this issue as well.

    My controller works fine in the editor, reads as "DuelShock4GamepadHID" controller and input works.
    But as soon as I build the game and launch it, it reads 0 gamepads and controls dont work :c

    Newest build of input system and Unity 2019.3.14f1

    This is a known issue with HID support not working in the 32-bit Windows standalone player. With 1.0 of the input system, there should be a warning in the console when that player is selected.

    Switching to the x64 player should solve the problem.

    Thanks so much for the workaround!
    Controllers work as expected in builds with x64.
