Re: XBox Controller Not Working on PC for Battlefield 2042

Same. Trying to troubleshoot atm. Just did a quick search and found this thread.

same. Xbx series controller

I got my DS4 working! Use DS4windows, select "Hide DS4 controller" in settings and also select to emulate Xbox 360 controller in profiles under the "other" tab.

The game is totally unplayable for me as it will not recognise my ds4. I connect via Bluetooth and ds4. The game will not recognise my gamepad.

I am trying to play via origin.

I have given up trying to play. 

Same, keeps saying it is a Xbox controller. 

How do you select to emulate 360?

No replies.

that says it all about EA and how  much they care.

Thanks a bundle EA.

Thanks.

Yes i know many are having the same issues.

Obviously I dont expect EA to really anything. Its EA after all. All they want is your money.

I got this game via origin pro. So if it doesn't work then at least I haven't wasted money on it.

I am shocked PC players are using a controller on a PC more than anything. 

a racing game or third person I understand but an FPS?

@MenphuesssSome folk may have a disability (amputation, illness, etc) making mouse and keyboard difficult to use. They may use a custom controller to help them with the basics. Under the general umbrella of adaptive gaming controllers and accessibility.

Others may prefer mouse and keyboard while playing in first person, but enjoy using a wheel as part of their sim set up when in a jeep, or a joystick or controller while flying, which is my use case. I get to enjoy vibration in my old stick, and it's far more fun than playing with mouse and keyboard - my accuracy may suffer a little, but not a lot.

And then there are others who grew up playing controllers on consoles and have never actually played first person shooters with mouse and keyboard. I've got a friend like this and it's a hill he'll die on no matter how much I try to persuade him that he's on a skill plateau, not much you can do when they won't listen. It's like me using a joystick to fly, I suppose.

Either way if EA focus on the accessibility angle of it all, there's no reason why they should be limiting input to a single controller and having so many issues if other things are plugged in.

Simple, I don’t like playing with a keyboard.
