I was frustrated to all hell beforehand and almost considered trading my ps4 controller back in for an xbox. This guy is saying to start the game up, THEN plug in the controler + load up the input device. If you try this in game it WILL NOT WORK. You have to disable this before going into LA Noire then Shift + Tab and plug the controller in and launch DS4 or what ever program your using. I am currently playing both ds1 and ds2 with a ps4 controller using ds4 for windows and everything is working fine after I went through the steps above. Make sure LA Noire is not launch when starting this. Let me know if youre still having problems and I will try to assist. It sometimes takes me 2 or 3 times to get it to connect while I've had it be stubborn and not work until the 10th time. Go to the first tab in ds4 and click the connect exclusively button that will temporarily disable explorer.exe which is what is interfering with ds4 that wont allow you hide the controller and stop the spinning.

Close out of ALL applications especially teamspeak and steam. go to the options and click hide ds4 controller. Yes this is due to the fact that your game is reading two controllers.
