Battlefield 4 Controls don't work

I have just installed Battlefield 4 for the second time and the in game controls don't work. The first issue was I couldn't not fire my weapon at all using the mouse or any other button assigned to that action. As well... My weapon would fire everytime I would jump and hit the ground.

The second time I installed the game... My weapon would be constantly firing fully automatic as soon as I appeared on screen. The only way to stop it was to set the Gun to single shot, but then the gun would not shoot at all regardless of what button I would assign to "Fire."

My computer knowledge is very good, so please don't post obvious trouble shooting solutions because believe me when I say that I have spent the last 6 hours troubleshooting everything I could to get the game to work and nothing has been successful. But if this has happened to you or you can really think of something intelligent that could solve this problem I would really appreciate it. Thx

  • This worked for me:

    I have gone in the key bindings and removed all the joystick binds for common, in vehicle, and on foot. This has solved my problem. Not sure why this happened today but it is now fixed for me. Tried a multiplayer round with no problems since.  -  RabidBeetle

    Have you had any luck fixing it? I've had this same issue for like a month now.

  • This is exactly what just started for me.  Game is completely unplayable now.  I just got to level 115.

    "I have gone in the key bindings and removed all the joystick binds for common, in vehicle, and on foot."

    And where is that at I am not seeing that at all in the menus? I don't see the word COMMON anywhere. I press W for walk and I just keep walking forward endlessly when I release W key. Same for the Sprint key I just keep sprinting forward with no key pressed once I hit the Sprint key once and it just keeps going. Same with A and D keys for sideways movements. This is very frustrating to say the least. Game is unplayable. Tried unplugging all my controllers, new drivers nothing works. Any help much appreciated

  • Go to Options / Key Bindings / Common (the header on the far left).

    Then go to the Joystick column.  Remove anything that is assigned in this column.   If you see something there, click it, and clear it out using ESC.  At the end, all cells in this column should be completely blank. 

    See ya out there!

    I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.

    If you have any issues with Battlefield 4 please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
