How do I completely disable controller on PC for BF2042?

Hi all...I am playing BF2042 on PC and have run into a problem.  I also have a Logitech X56 HOTAS plugged into my PC for use with various flight and space sims like MS Flight SImulator and Elite Dangerous.  The problem I'm having is that BF2042 is apparently picking up either the throttle, the stick, or both as a game controller and overriding my mouse/keyboard inputs.  When I go into Key Bindings to try to disable the various controller functions one at a time by unbinding them, it's asking me to hit a button with three horizontal lines on my "controller" in order to unbind the control...but none of the buttons on my HOTAS seem to work for that.  I can't just hold down ESC to unbind like I can for a keyboard bind.  So how do I either just completely remove BF2042's ability to see that HOTAS, or unmap all the controller functions inside BF2042 if I can't get this "three horizontal line" button to work?  I cannot play the game until this gets fixed because it's overriding my movement and I want to play with just mouse/keyboard.  Thank you.

    By smoothing out the answers a bit, I found a solution that worked for me.

    I deleted the "PROFSAVE_profile" from "C: \ Users \ myname \ Documents \ Battlefield 2042 \ settings.

    By restarting the game the binding errors are reset and all the parameters.
    I had of course parked the original file just in case.

    Looking at the binds / variables that cause problems are on "button 255".
    GstKeyBinding.gunner.ConceptMapSize.0.button 255
    GstKeyBinding.infantry.ConceptCycleFireMode.0.button 255

    other variable are on 255, I don't know if this is normal.

    Sadly this is just temporary, after a match the problem comes back.

    By someone that have x56 hotas... 

  • I just installed a new computer. First I installed Star Citizen and played a lot with my X56. After now two weeks, I started my new PC this morning, installed BF 2042, and it was working perfectly.

    After that, I played Star Citizen again, endet it and startet BF 2042 again, and all the same mistakes again like with my old computer. I resetted the paramateres to default, same mistake. I deinstalled the game, installed again, same mistake. I didn't play the games for some weeks, but it seems, the related Devs of the game don't care about it. Hope, I can get refund, or not?

  • I'm curious if non-controller users see the same thing. I have an Xbox One controller that I don't use for BF, but the game still shows the prompt to hold Menu (instead of Esc) to clear a mouse keybind.

    Here's a guide that may help if you have time.

    This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield 2042, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
