Re: Controller issue on pc, character randomly snaps to looking down

Fixed the issue on my end by right clicking on the game in the Steam library, going to Properties, the Controller tab, and selecting "Disable Steam Input" on the drop down settings.  Hope it works for you guys too, good luck!

  • I've only had time to try one game with this but so far it works. This seems to be the fix to the issue. Thank you so much for finding this out for us @PleasureBot , you're low key a hero. EA being EA per usual giving bad reponses and no real answer.

    When I disabled steam input it just stopped recognizing the controller

  • @BenKenewbyTry this:

    Unplug the controller and any devices connected to the USB that you're not using and go to Device Manager (right click the Start button and select it). Click the "View" tab and select "Show hidden devices". Expand the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section at the bottom and right-click and Uninstall each device that's greyed out. Plug your controller back in and it should automatically reinstall the drivers. If nothing happens when you plug it back in, click on the "Scan for hardware changes" button to force detect it.

    Launch the game (with Steam input still disabled) and see if it's recognizing the controller.

  • Damn, sorry man. Fingers crossed they get all of this fixed before release.

  • I’m having the same issue. 
    how I’m able to play with a controller still is

    open the controller configuration settings for your controller 
    Go to presets 

    switch it from game pad to key board and mouse. 

    then you’ll just have to do some minor key bindings and sensitivity adjustments and you should be good
