Re: 2042 (PC, EA App) Dualsense Controller Vibration not Functional

Hey @Swaguley,

Battlefield 2042 on PC doesn't officially support the DualSense PS5 controller. Because of that, it's possible that not all features of the DualSense PS5 controller will work if you manage to partially make it work somehow.

Only the Xbox controller is officially supported.

    Man, that's unfortunate. I know some other Frostbite games on PC support the dualsense. I'd love if it got added to the list of known issues, but I imagine it's low on the priority list.

    I don't own an Xbox controller. I'll see if I can get the game to recognize it as an Xbox controller via emulation.

    @Swaguley, wishing you lots of luck with that. Of course, we can't guarantee full compatibility if you manage to make it work somehow.

  • Did you get it to work? I have the same issue and would like to know how you solved it, if you solved it

    Sorry, I haven't. I tried my best to get the EA App to either recognize a steam input or a DS4 Windows Xbox input, to no avail. Even if I have DS4 Windows connected and hiding the PlayStation input in favor of Xbox, it still defaults to a PlayStation input. I think it has to do with the way 2042 is programmed because it almost always forces a Playstation input if it is connected, which will never allow vibration. DICE either needs to add Dualsense support fully or disable it completely, because this part functionality doesn't cut it.

    F1 2022 has full Dualsense support through the EA app and Jedi Fallen Order does not. In the case of Fallen Order, I have to use DS4 Windows to emulate the Xbox controller input, but it works perfectly with vibration and everything. 2042 just will not work for me.

    Today, I forgot to turn on my controller emulation software (DSX) and noticed that my PS5 remote was detected in game! I confirmed this by going into control settings and seeing that there is a PS remote instead of a Xbox remote. 

    the controls work as expected. What doesn’t work is haptic feedback. Still no vibrations. Still troubleshooting that part.
