Issues fixed

DualShock 4 controller not detected

Replace libSDL2.dylib

Use more recent version of libSDL2.dylib with fixed rpath and replace the one found in the game with the new one from the maintainer of wineskin, gcenx: Download latest Wineskin wrapper. Ctrl+click and Show Package Contents, search for 'sdl'. copy libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib. Paste the file onto Desktop. Rename the file to: libSDL2.dylib. Copy file into Dying Light/DyingLightGame.app/Contents/Frameworks/ replacing the previous one. This fix may also work with other SDL2 games with dysfunctional controller support. Note: This fix also works with Xbox One controllers.
