    Ah, I see. Thanks for following up!

    Would you mind posting a DxDiag when you have the chance so we can take a look? You can find more info on how to pull one up at the EA Help website. Once you have the text file please attach it to this thread. Thanks again.

    Thanks! I appreciate that. 

    Looking through the DxDiag, I noticed that it looks like there's an Oculus device connected to your PC. When you've got the chance can you try disconnecting it to test and see if that makes any difference? I've seen cases in the past where having similar devices connected has led to some weird issues, so I'm curious if that makes a difference here. 

  • I have the exact same issue.

    Anyone installing and running BF4 now via GamePass / Origin, in the current version of Windows 10 (this is where I think the issue is) will have the exact same issue.

    There is something wrong with Battlefield 4's understanding of a gamepad controller in Windows 10. I even tried to remap BF4's understanding of the controller against what it thinks each movement of stick and button press does, it this ultimately won't work either, as the way it understands the triggers as a controller axis doesn't give you the ability to execute a shot. :D

    No other game I am running on my PC has this issue.

    Can we please solve this together? Happy to provide whatever you need.

    It has nothing to do w/ a connected Oculus device, btw.

  • The headset wasn't plugged in so I deleted the oculus app and disabled all of the devices and still didn't work

  • update - i've been able to "fully" resolve this issue for bf4 so far, haven't tried other battlefields yet.

    using steam as the mediation layer for controller override works perfectly. launching the non-steam game through the steam application w/ appropriate controller settings applied enables bf4 to work perfectly w/ latest xbox series x wireless controllers on windows 10, WITHOUT wires.

    best.

  • I tried this and just as it is with the EA app my controllers work fine, but none of the control prompts show the proper A, B, X, Y, RB, LB only the keyboard letter/switch to hit instead. Is there a fix for that?
