    I'm also having the same problem, my controller is a playstation 4 one and I use the DS4windows and it seems absurd to me that they do this to us now, I come from playing battlefield 2042 on ps4 and all the battlefieds on playstation, I bought the game for pc and I use the controller because I don't find it comfortable to use the keyboard and mouse, please fix this it doesn't make any sense

    @rerfps4  Its possible that ds4windows is triggering anti cheat , cause the "cheat" settings/profile.
    BF2042 is supporting different controllers standard in OPTIONS, ya dont need ds4windows for your controller at bf2042.

    If ya want to play BF2042 , ya have to make sure any task/services from ds4windows is not running 😉

    Cheers !!!!

    PS some controllers could need an update or arent compatible in BF2042
    ds4windows is triggering Anticheat !
    Probarly rewasd and joytokey also !

    USE REVOUNINSTALLER TO DELETE ALL FILES / FOLDERS AND REGISTRY SETTINGS FROM THIS SOFTWARE  !

  • What are you describing in the options menu that will allow me to use my PS5 controller? Or how do I make sure the task/service on DS4 windows is not running? 😉Thanks!

    @505GROWN Ingame DS4WINDOWS /reWASD and JoytoKey should not run.

    Ingame click OPTIONS , CONTROLLER to modify youre controller settings.

    All the other software arent allowed by EA TOS

    Have Fun, real gaming Now !

    Cheers
  • Completely removed DS4W from my system and tried a wired connection to connect my controller while in game. For a brief moment I was able to navigate using my controller just before it crashed giving me the attached error message. It is literally asking me to install a separate app (DS4) to create an association between the controller and the game  I play FIFA 24 using the same controller via DS4 and have no issues at all. Both of them being EA games I don't understand why BF2042 is being dumb.

    Cause it gives ya advantage against the normal MnK players !
    Also scripts / tools for those kind advantages are not allowed by game / anti cheat TOS.

    Cheers

    PS if there is still a message about this DS4windows then it isnt uninstalled / disabled, ya should use REVOUNINSTALLER.
    Uninstall software with REVO also check the box ADVANCED in REVO to cleanup leftovers files/folders and registry keys, then reboot system and test game again !

    Fairplay is the KEY

    Cheers
