Can you PLEASE add/fix controller support on PC?

Question

I've been trying to use a dualshock 4 controller and it either simply does not work or has completely broken button layouts. A simple search will show you this is and has been a prevalent issue since launch and nothing has been done to address it. I've tried adding the game to steam to use steam input and that does not work. I can't use DS4Windows because the anticheat prevents the game from launching with it open. I can't play with a mouse and keyboard due to wrist issues so its either controller or don't play your game at all. Why is this such a problem? Its controller support frankly I don't understand how the game ever shipped without it.

I'd recommend trying DSXWindows instead of DS4. Updated software, more options, and it fixed the randomized control scheme for me. I never tried 2042 with DS4 but I had no issues with DSX.

For me I was using REWASD app to play with Dual Sense PS5, but now is not possible to map buttons because EA blocks. You can use Steam to play the game with controller mapping, even if you not bought there. If you bought at EA PLAY, just open STEAM, add NON STEAM GAME and automatically when you open the BF2042 your controller will map to play the game

let me solve alot of peoples issues with the controller i play controller just fine. i have steam too. but heres the kicker. i dont run the game through steam i run it directly through the EA app
if you have steam in the background running it over runs EA for controls so turning it off and just playing the game through the EA app works just fine. i use the controller on lazy days when i dont wanna use the mnk. but most days i run mnk and controller for flying only as its easier. since joysticks wont work
