Re: Xbox One controller for PC not working through any EA App games

Hi,

I have the same problem with the EA App, I have an EA Play subscription.

The controller doesn't work correctly when I use it in wireless mode.

I have a new Microsoft XBox Controller purchased on november 2022.

So yesterday I tried this steps:
- uninstall EA app

- download older Origin App from the web (you can find it easily searching on Google)

- Install older Origin App and sync the games (the app do it)

... and IT WORKS!!!!

Now the controller works like a charm (IN WIRELESS MODE!!)

I hope my answer is helpful.

    I understand how this would work. 

    However, As EA is replacing Origin with the EA App the issue will come back. 

    I am unable to play FIFA 23 currently as when I open this through EA App it doesn't pick up the controller that is connected and thinks I'm playing on Mouse & Keyboard.

    Apex however, works fine with the controller. 

    I have just done an update to EA App which uninstalled the Origin client.

    Normally for Fifa I would have to open Origin via Steam in order to use my controller on FIfa 23.
