So, details: Debian 10, ds4drv, original PS4 controller, works find with USB.

Bluetooth works for a while, but after a while the signal strength lessens for some reason and it becomes impossible to play with it.

I rather post this here than elsewhere because: STK has a large user base, people might have run into the same problem as me, I only use the gamepad for STK. I do suspect that this might be a result of poor configuration and not an actual bug in the driver itself. If I'm out of line for posting this here feel free to delete it.

I've checked out the STK site, the Github issues for STK and ds4drv, and searched the forums. I might just be lacking the search skills. If that is so I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

Does it happen for other games too?

No, it doesn't seem like it. As implied I'm basically wondering if this happen to anybody else here. Chances are that these problems are common and that would tell me how to proceed. Another thought I had is that STK is a hectic game and a bad signal might be more noticeable because relatively small movements matter.

All that is just guesswork though. As I said, if others experience it these problems could be expected, otherwise I'd have to look into it further.
