I've been trying to get Fortnite up and running with PS4 controller by cable for 2 weeks. I connected the PS4 controller to the PC with a micro USB cable and started Fortnite. When I was in the lobby I couldn't do anything with the controller. I also checked the Fortnite Settings to see if it was deactivated in any way or something. But no. Not even when I hold the PS4 button on the controller.
BTW: the PC is WIN 10 x64
Can you tell me what I could do? (And if possible also wireless)
It should actually work immediately via cable, then activate the controller in the settings. If that doesn't work, try another cable
If you use this program it should work in any case (and also with games that do not support a PS4 controller): http://ds4windows.com/
If your PC has Bluetooth, you can also connect the controller wirelessly. For Bluetooth pairing you have to hold down the PS button and the Share button.
Where in the Settings?
Where the sign with the controller is, you should be shown that you can set up the controller
Have jtz running with DS4
Does it work?
