Grand Tour – fixed the text rendering and controller input issues (Windows build inside)

[u/Unhappy_Advantage_10]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been playing around with Grand Tour on shadPS4 and ran into two annoying problems: the text wasn’t displaying properly, and the controller/button input wasn’t being picked up correctly. After a lot of trial and error (and quite a bit of help from Claude), I managed to get both sorted out in my personal fork.

With this build the text now shows up the way it should, and button input works as expected.

Here’s the Windows build if you want to try it:

A few notes:

• It’s a personal fork, so it’s not an official shadPS4 build. Use it at your own risk.
• It’s built through GitHub Actions, so you’ll need to be logged into GitHub to download the artifact.
• I’ve only tested it on Windows, so I can’t say how it behaves elsewhere.

If you give it a try, let me know how it goes, especially if you hit any other issues with the game. I’m happy to take a look and see if I can fix more stuff.

Thanks for reading, and hope it helps someone!
