@EA_Atic I am playing on PC and attempting to use my Xbox Elite series 2 controller to play Battlefield 2042. When I plug it in via USB to my PC or connect through Bluetooth, my PC identifies the controller, but the game itself does not. When I try to use the controller, nothing happens and I’m stuck using mouse and key. Please fix this issue, my controller works 100% of the time with every controller compatible game I own on PC except BF2042.

Thanks

@lando-comando Steam or origin? I've pasted various solutions found both here and on reddit. If you're on steam, force enable steam input. If you are on Origin, make sure no other controllers are plugged in or check for conflicts with other USB devices (by unplugging them to try) or some third party profiling software (like Logitech Gaming software, iCue, Razer, etc) for other accessories you may have.

  This is ridiculous. EA fix this thing. I can't be unplugging my 14 other USB inputs that I use for flight simming every time I want to play Battlefield. Also, for those talking about this Steam work around...I find nothing in Steam about EA Desktop App...have no idea how you are doing this. I bought the Gold version of the game from Origin's site...and now I have no controller support with my XBox controller, wire connected to my PC. Just unacceptable. I don't play PC with mouse and keyboard, my sim pit doesn't allow for it. Please fix this...Titanfall 2 worked flawlessly...why can't your latest greatest game work?
