Controller does not work on PC through EA app

I found a fix for the controller mapping issue

This works if you have bought the game via Origin. If you got it via Steam then theres also videos on this channel for that fix too

Controller doesn't work for me either, wireless xbox360 controller.. Works in every other battlefield... Thankfully I did a free trial of the game. Wont' be buying it for at least a few months based on the current state of things.

I did give it a shot, but it didn't make a difference. Controller still doesn't register anything in game (but works just fine in windows, other games, and bf4/1).

I'm also just not interested in jumping through such hoops to make something as simple as a controller work by adding the game in steam, messing with options, launching it through stream etc...

It would cost me like $100 CAD to buy this game.. I'm not interested in spending time finding workarounds for the plethora of issues the game is plagued by.

They need to improve their controller implementation substantially so that this isn't a problem for your average Joe. I don't want to recommend this to a friend and then say "Oh by the way if you want to use a controller to fly a helicopter instead of mouse/keyboard, you need to do X then Y, then Z etc etc."

It's just unprofessional and simply a pain in the *. They rushed the game to make the holiday season despite it's issues and short comings. I get it and so be it.. but if the hype has died by the time It's worth buying in several months (I am by no means a die-hard battlefield fan, but I have played quite a few of them over the years), and I can finally play it in the way that I want to play it then ultimately I'll just pass on this one, or pick it up for cheap in a couple years time.

Same issue,R2 is select and everything is mixed. Tested this, download apex legends in both the EA app and steam and it works just fine in steam. The EA app does not support controller unfortunately.  I have even turned off all overlays

2023 and its still not sorted

that was for origin though, the EA app is different (or at least, i haven't been able to find all of those settings in the EA app).

I am having the same problem. I use a PS4 controller and my jump button jumps but also opens in game chat. 

I'm using the Xbox Elite series 2 controller and have the same problem: the jump button opens the chat box.
