    @JarskyPlaysI found the fix! I did the opposite they told me to do. I re-enabled my overlays, both on origin and steam. I also changed Steam properties from the C: folder and ran compatibility troubleshooter selecting high DPI settings. I don't know if that's the exact reason, but I believe it's just enabling overlays again.

    So my settings are:
    Steam input to Global PS/Xbox.
    Enable Origin-in-game overlay and Steam.
    No DS4.

    Edit Nov2022:

    Deleted the unnecessary info about DPI.

    I got a new PC, RTX 3090, i9 12900KS. Still got the same problem i wrote about.

    Fixed it again by enabling overlays.

    I succeeded DS4 too, by disabling Steam Input (on steam BF2042 properties), and used Xbox 360 controller emulator on DS4 controller settings.

    Edit Dec2024:

    Some people solved the problem with EA Play BF2042, using step 4 or 5 in this video.

i am having similar issues using the series x controller via origin as a result of the gamepass launch recently.

i will likely try the steam routing fix ... didn't know this was an option. i'll report back.

my setup is:

  • windows 10
  • i9 12900 KF . rtx 3080 . 4 tb samsung 980 pro nvme ssds
  • installed via origin via xbox app via gamepass availability
  • xbox series x wireless controller (works brilliantly on battlefield 1, for example, in the same operational methodology above, but battlefield 4 is fubar wrt button mapping)

steam as a mediation layer makes sense to me. its controller overrides seem to be solid.

best.

update - tried plugging in the controller (usb c) and it works as expected on BOTH 2042 and BF4.

however ...

  • when attempting to then unplug the controller during the game to see if mapping was retained, 2042 reverted to the same crazy controls as previously mentioned.
  • bf4 RETAINED its correct mappings

all else remained the same.

ba - na - nuh (z)
