you don't have to "turn anything off or uninstall any apps" make sure you read the pinned post in the comments if you still have the problem comment on the video i will do my best to help you get the issue solved
thank you man it actually worked for me. I added EA Desktop App exe to steam and used the force steam input settings and now I'm able to use my PS4-Controller! But one thing to mention for people still having problems: You need to close Origin or EA App before launching it with steam in big picture mode! If EA App or Origin is already running in background before you launch it with steam it doesnt work! Also its recommended to change the controller settings in steam to not shut down the controller after 15 mins of non-usage! otherwise if it shuts down while you are still in game you cant simply turn it back on it wont be recognized by BF anymore. This is still a huge failure and evidence of incapacity of EA and its devs that you need to use another launcher to be able to use a controller. This is why I like to Support Steam its the best choice for consumers / gamers.
I have EA play and managed to get in touch with EA support regarding this issue. Their elegant solution was for me to git gud and play with m+k because in that EA techs words, the game wasn’t designed to support controllers on pc. Obviously this is ludicrous and I’m sure EA would disagree with his statement. But the facts are the facts here and you can’t deny that EA/Dice has cared very little over a decade in addressing this issue. It shouldn’t take all these POTENTIAL work arounds on a AAA game like this.
After the update, the game is still broken and wont work with controllers.
If the game isnt intended for controllers then why is there the controller option there in the game settings?
I would urge everyone who cant play this game review bomb the game and give it 1 star in as many review locations as possible.
Thats all we can do as EA wont be in any hurry to fix this. They aren't in the habit of fixing their mistakes for to fix them is to admit them. And EA never make mistakes.
Do they!!!!
