I'll like to note. I am not the only one having this problem. If you go to the Battlefield 2042 forum on Steam. Everyone who is using a controller on pc is having problems. With the Playstation 5 controllers, and the Xbox Controller. Everyone in the forums. Tried a number of things to fix the problem.

1. Trying another controller.
2. Using the controller wireless.
3. Using the controller wired in.
4. Unplugging the mouse.

So far it seems to be a problem with the game. With the playstation 5 controllers. Randomly while playing. It will make your character look up. While moving, or aiming. With the Xbox Controllers. It seem to do the same thing, but makes you look down. Please fix the problem, cause when your about to shoot someone. Then it randomly makes you look up at the sky. Is ruining the game for controller players.

@HermeticXXXIII I have the same issue, there is a temporary fix though and it has some downsides. If you go into your game settings -> mouse and keyboard and turn off "MOUSE RAW INPUT" your issue will stop. Only downside is it will turn itself back on occasionally (idk why) and it seems to turn off aim assist as well.

In the beta to fix this problem you'd go to the launcher and right click the game, go to settings, controller, and disable steam input. When you do this now it renders the controller completely useless. Battlefield does not even recognize the button layout let alone let you change the mapping. The only two buttons that work are L and R trigger which are "x" and "square for some reason. I have not found a fix for it yet nor have we heard from a community member.

It's seriously a joke that a standard Xbox One (and Windows compatible) controller doesn't work natively with this game. a JOKE!

Same issues I've attempted to continuously turn off and tweak settings in the menus with no solution to be found. I have swapped between four different Xbox controllers ( Elite one, Elite series two , Wolverine tournament and a original Xbox one controller) and have experienced the same issues with all. I'm aware this was in the beta and hopefully someone is aware of this issue and pray it will see a solution in a upcoming patch

Same.
I'm using steam controller and have found if I switch to mouse-like joystick on the right touch pad instead of mouse it fixes it, but there's no getting the mouse-like joystick to feel right.
I think every battlefield since steam controller came out has had issues with PC controllers.

Some people think it's the aim assist, or stick acceleration. I tried turning off aim assist, and still get the same problem. I'll try stick acceleration later, and let you know what happens.

@HermeticXXXIII Im having the exact same issues, both with my older wired 360 controller, and now with the series 2 Elite controller. Hell, it does it if I'm using MnK but have a controller plugged in even.
