Re: DUALSHOCK ISSUE WITH DS4 FOR WINDOWS

I know many of you like to use external software with your controllers, but I've noticed that many players have been able to play normally after turning off that kind of software. The good news is that controller support should be native in more recent versions of Windows (10 & 11), so controller functionality with different games should be fine without any additional software.

  • @EA_Pulsar dude are you foril.playing that way is raggy.yesterday I played that way and raged quit in every game cz the lag was to much stream has a well thought solution why can’t ea do the same.what the reason of buying fc25 if I can’t enjoy playing it make it seamless as in ps5 for pc users stop incompetence. And again you guys give us pc users a badly optimized game we have to relay on our knowledge to make it better yet you wonna take ds4windows away from us yet you can’t give us a software to work with how noble of you pulsar.i blv you where behind this * idea

  • Marking the problem as "solved" is a kick in the teeth to thousands of customers that still cannot play FC24 without DS4 for Windows. I've tried all the proposed solutions and several of the other emulators out there and still cannot play this game with my DS4 controller on Windows via the EA App. Please either introduce support for the DS4 controller or whitelist DS4 for windows within the EA anti-cheat app - nobody is using DS4 for windows to cheat, only to compensate for the game's incompatibility with our controllers. Note carefully: This will severely impact forthcoming sales of FC25 unless it has been seen to be addressed on FC24!!!!!

  • My friend EA only thinks about make money money money selling bugged games, and looking the way that the mods uses to talk to us is evident that they dont care to give us solutions. Maybe when the sales of FC25 goes to the floor they re consider to fix this stupid thing or provide input support in EA App. Btw I solved my issue with dualshock using xinput software for windows, dualsensex can be a solution for ps5 controllers users.

    @MO-Adel2905 Try open first the software and then power on the joystick, atm is the unique solution i could make work for me
  • @EA_Pulsar "many players have been able to play normally" is not true at all. xbox controllers are supported, but DS4windows main use is to allow a DS controller appear as an xbox controller.

    BF2042, and maybe some newer titles work with DS controllers, but BF1, BFV, BF4, etc, only support xbox controllers, hence we need DS4Windows or something like it to play.
  • To Dear Lovely EA

    This case wasn't solved yet, at least mark this unsolved this is not anti cheat problem but EA problem

    There was absolutely no reason to blacklist DS4 software in anticheat, not a single one! It's a software that emulates ps3, ps4, and ps5 controllers as an xbox controller which can be used in almost all games on PC. Why blacklist such software? It just makes no sense. It's a great software that not only allows controllers emulation but also configuration and personalisation of the controler. We were all using ds4 for so many years in multiple EA games, but suddenly it's marked as a cheat software!? Controller emulation software is marked as cheat software??? I really wonder what is wrong with whoever made that decision. Just unblock DS4 and be done with it. I swear I will never buy any EA game again if you don't start listening to your customers. This is outrageous!

    @kize_nestorov It is not known whether it is used to reduce input delay. When connected via Bluetooth or cable without using DS4Windows, the input delay becomes too much. It definitely needs to be fixed, otherwise there will be no players using DS4 playing on PC.
  • @EA_Pulsar you and your company are a disgrace. you force people that use a playstation conroller to either buy an xbox controller or not be able to play any game on your platform because you dont support ps controllers. you marked this as resolved but the fact is that you left thousands of players unable to play their games because you decided a software that makes these controllers work banned. undo this if you want to keep us players but ofc you dont care about anything your player base says.

    No but i use PS3 controller, not supported natively. i need this software to play

  • since DS4windows is not working anymore i asked for a refund for eafc 25 and i suggest all of you do the same. this is actually unbelievable that they are unable to whitelist the program that is crucial for PC players - the same PC players that they bend over year after year because the game is never optimized like it should be.

    @EA_Pulsar your games are bads and now you blacklist DS4 windows. In which world do you think you're gonna be a good entreprise ? DO something now 

  • Are you serious brother? I don't believe you're actually understanding the issue here. Nobody on PC can use a controller wirelessly with any EA games without DS4, Windows has indeed dropped the ball with controller drivers, there is no "native support" and we shouldn't be limited to a certain type of controller when we literally have PC's. Racing games, sports games, literally unplayable without a controller, I just downloaded my madden 25 trial only to swiftly delete it, as I can't use my controller, and I refuse to use my keyboard. I will make sure any EA game I purchase from now on lacks your anti-cheat, it has effectively ruined your PC user experience. Cheers.
