Hey lilRob,
Sorry you're having problems with the ps4 controller it should work right out of the box, maybe you have another program managing the PS4 controller? This might conflict with it, It should work without needing anything. Let me know if you can't get it to work i'll take another look at it
You can skip the intro by holding Start/Options I'll add a graphic that shows that you can do it to the next update.
