ShadPS4 help with games, set up, etc

[MyGames]

Hi there guys, for help in ShadPS4 here with can give a shout.

I would like to start with help with the game Driveclub, I can't get it to start I only get a black screen and the following error

[Lib.Pad] <Error> pad.cpp:282 scePadOpenExt: (STUBBED) called

 

Emulator version  0.11.1  (tested older versions and its the same)

Game version Driveclub CUSA00093 1.28

Firmware for the game 4.50

Using the sys modules 11.0 posted here

Stock settings only thing I touched was 

readbackLinearImages = true
readbacks = true

Because I read they are needed for Ratchet & Clank to work and it's true and that's interesting Ratchet works with good to excellent graphics as seen in youtube videos but in Driveclub I only get a black screen and never load

Another thing, I cannot download cheats or patches for any game I get the error Failed to retrieve HTML page proxy connection refused

I tried to place the xml patch file from here https://github.com/shadps4-emu/ps4_cheats/tree/main/PATCHES in the patches folder to no avail

I even tried the raphaelthegreat, Xcedf and diegolix forks and is the same error as in the official build even worse with the diegolix fork it just crashes after launch

So if someone could help me and others who may be facing the same issue get this legendary game to work would be awesome, thanks in advance.
