Summarize your bug I just started playing the beta and i'm getting this weird bug where while i'm shooting or running around my player randomly snaps looking straight down to the ground. Seems to happen often right when I engage in a fight with someone or a lot is happening on screen. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix yet?
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I play with a PS5 controller on PC with program called "DS4Widnows" it works fine in every game but yours. Other than that everything else is normal
What happens when the bug occurs? when im engaging in a fight or alot is happeing on screen
What should be happening instead? the camera should not be snapping to the ground

    Fixed the issue on my end by right clicking on the game in the Steam library, going to Properties, the Controller tab, and selecting "Disable Steam Input" on the drop down settings.  Hope it works for you guys too, good luck!

    @LiquidVenoms 

    If you have any HOTAS, Pedals, Joystick or other input peripherals attached, remove those and retry, thanks.

    Mine snaps up. Really can't play like this. I test the controller and verified not drifting or other settings. I don't have these issues in halo, warzone or Minecraft. 

    Randomly while moving or aiming view snaps to strait up. 

    Does it on foot and in tanks but not in heli or fix wing. 

    My controller and system are fully updated.

    @LiquidVenoms One thing that works is to keep moving very slightly your controller as you play because it only seems to take place when the controller is not being touched.

    Same here. Mine is a bit different from what this post says. My friend is having the same problem as the OP, but I am spawning into a game just fine. As soon as my map zooms in on my player it just starts constantly looking down. I can move around and shoot, but only at the ground.

    @EA_Barry this isn’t a solution to the problem. it’s a bug in game that needs to be fixed. I have no problems in literally any other game but Battlefield, please fix for controller on PC.

    @CyberAxe-LZNJ I played again and now my character snaps up instead of down. I’m very confused, never had a problem like this in a fps before

    @EA_Barry Yea I’m playing with a custom controller on PC and I’m experiencing the exact same issue. No issue in any other game. Originally it was snapping down. I restarted my system and now it’s snapping up. Completely unplayable, happens every 15 secs or so - moving, not moving, aiming, firing makes no difference.

    I can't even use a controller on my pc as it's not detected.  I'm using an xbox elite series 2 controller and have had no issues with any other game only bf2042.  Damn, even the cod Vanguard beta I had zero issues.  @EA_Barry I have seen multiple posts regarding xbox and pc where the controllers are not working correctly, is this likely to be fixed before the beta ends?
