I’m losing my mind trying to get my 8BitDo controller working properly with FiveM.
I don’t have the 2.4G dongle, so right now I’m trying to use Bluetooth. I’ll probably get the dongle eventually so I can use 2.4G, but for now I need to figure out how to make this work over Bluetooth.
People in my RP server keep telling me that most people only use controllers for driving, but I want to use mine for EVERYTHING — driving, shooting, aiming, walking/running, interacting, basically the whole fucking game.
Is there a proper way to get an 8BitDo controller fully recognised by FiveM/GTA V and then properly map all the controls? Do I need Steam Input, DS4Windows, reWASD, 8BitDo software, or something else?
I’m not looking for just “use it for driving.” I want the controller to function as my actual primary input for FiveM.
Any help would be massively appreciated because this shit is driving me insane.

Hey everyone!

The server staff has confirmed that EU-based members are able to apply for staff, so I wanted to reach out and see if anyone from the EU would be interested in joining the team.

One of the main things I was concerned about was whether EU staff would be able to properly participate in server events and other staff activities, especially with the time-zone difference. With EU staff now being allowed to apply, I’m hoping we can get some EU-based people involved and build a more active EU presence within the staff team.

If you’re EU-based and interested in becoming staff, feel free to join the Discord and look into applying:

Basically whenever i find something i am uninformed about i usually cross reference with the bot, including searching online etc

a simple google search gave me this “Huge swarms of crustaceans dying in the ocean is a phenomenon often referred to as a mass mortality event (MME). While these events can occur naturally, they have become more frequent since 1960 and are often driven by a combination of environmental stressors, pollutants, or diseases.” which was fine

but then i show the bot the situation and it concluded the image to three factors which mentioned accurate information but posed the context as an exaggeration of MME and that the internet is just conflating the phenomenon, personally i find this concerning mainly because the personalisation settings i have for my bot is just Efficient (i don’t like the emojis and the constant changing of its text format and the “gen z” language it uses terribly (i also find pretty childish to reduce a generation of people to a category just because of their culture on the internet)), time and time again i seem to always find myself having to ask it to refrain from acting like a point if reassurance because based on the topic, the bot consistently gives off the impression that my emotional state of off or I’m being reactive to random stuff i just want to know about and understand better.

But back to the topic at hand, even though yes the bot was accurate with the information to clarify what was occurring in the image, to say that the image was based off an exaggeration purely because of captions and how the creator was framing it, i found it very concerning because of certainty, to compare, you have a marine biologist who has tangibly interacted with the environment to have the confidence in concluding what findings are linked to serious issues with climate change…..and then a bot that has the information given to it by humans that have studied all of this information just to chalk it up to an exaggeration?! i don’t know it doesn’t seem right at all.

thought id just talk about it, let me know what you guys think
