Hello, 
I’m seeking advice on implementing gamepad rumble in Unreal. On Mac, whether the effect is previewed in the content browser, or played via ClientPlayForceFeedback(), the effect is not felt. I’ve tested this in editor, standalone, and packaged builds using PS5 and Xbox gamepads.
Is there a solution or workaround for this issue? Any advice would be appreciated. 
Cheers.
This could be BS. You need to read up more on it.
I don’t think you can because the hard coded stuff in the functions is DX code.
Mac doesnt support native DirectX, so it won’t work with DirectInput either.
At least, that’s my line of thinking.
You should look up on Xcode and try to get your controller to rumble directly from the built from mac compiler to make sure it works at all.
Assuming it does, then you would look into pulling the engine’s source, building natively on your mac, and replacing out the joystic direct input call functions.
(Or more appropriately, #ifElse ing them to build different for mac builds)
Note: the editor does have plugins - its possible one exists or can be disabled to do just this for you.
Thanks for your response, MostHost.
It’s disappointing to hear that Unreal only rumbles via DirectX. I wonder if they have any plans to facilitate force feedback on macOS. In the meantime, I’ll look into implementing it myself via Xcode.
Thanks again for the info.
Cheers.
