Did EA end controller Support for Battlefield 2042?????? Aug12th Patch

Did EA end controller Support for Battlefield 2042?????? Aug12th Patch

I recently updated Battlefield 2042 with the Aug 12th patch on my PC and have since to been able to connect my Dual Sense controller with the game. Each time I root the game with my controller connected I get an error message asking me to disconnect my controller to continue with the game. I used to be able to connect my controller via DS4 for a smooth gameplay but I cant anymore!!! i tried connecting it without the DS4 software and keep getting the same error. i even tried a wired connection with no success. 

Not sure if anyone else is facing similar issues.

    Hello, since the anti-cheat update the DS4Windows program no longer works for me either. However, I can confirm this for Battlefield 1 only. I have already tested it without DS4Windows. It doesn't work and I followed all possible instructions. I have been playing Battlefield 1 with the Playstation 4 controller for 6 years and with the Playstation 5 DualSense controller since last year. If we should play the game with a Playstation controller in the future without the DS4Windows program, then I beg, also on behalf of the community, the developers to implement Playstation 4 + DualSense controller support in Battlefield 1 in addition to a Xbox controller support. As a next update. That would be really great and kind. ^^

    How did you get the ds5 controller to work? I have tried everything from cable, Bluetooth, running ea launcher as administrator, also with steam to use the steam controller input. But that just bricks the controller in game.

    the best I could do is launching the game from ea launcher without doing something special. But that results in mix input and an bricked d-pad. After remapping the remaining buttons and loading into a game it would still not work properly and just constantly look down to the ground. Running the latest controller firmware from PlayStation Accessories software (A-0520).

    I've tried literally everything to try and get the PS4 Controller to work. Using SteamInPut adding BF2042 as a non steam game and launching it doesn't work. Nor does adding the EA App as a non steam game. DS4 Windows is obviously blocked now. Like you can play this game on Console with a PS4 controller no issue. But on PC? Nope can't do that. How is it that EA is the singular launcher / company that makes it almost impossible to use a controller with a game on PC? What are these people smoking?
