    Are you using a Xbox Series X controller? If yes, how did you get it to work especially with Bluetooth? I have mine plugged in and I lose my focus and start facing in different directions mostly to the ground randomly in the game then I die. My Bluetooth connection won't even work properly through the menus to start the game even.

  • Yes. I’m using the Xbox elite 2 controller. Before I have issues! I even cancel my pro account. Somehow the wifi Bluetooth didn’t work with my connection just for bf 2042. So I use the Microsoft Xbox wireless adapter. Don’t remember if I use before? The new update for windows or I’m playing with bf 2042 with the ea pass including with Xbox ultimate subscription. 

    any questions feel free to ask.

    The subscriptions aren't going to do anything and I have the controller plugged in so it should have the same effect. Are you using the Origin app for windows?

    Think I have found a fix, at least for me, I had to disable ea starting with Windows then go into the ea settings, toggle the ea overlay off & then on again.

    Once you've done this then go back to main ea settings and switch off start with Windows..hey presto haven't had an issue since.. before it would work 1 day and then stop for weeks or months was ridiculous, since doing this I've been playing no hassle for 3 months now!!!! Hope this helps everyone else.
