BF1 PC - How to get rid of controller - Cant use vehicles, mortar, plane etc.

Dear Support,

Problem:

Can't use Mortar, Tanks, Planes.

These are all set to move with W,A,S and D. Some should also work with the mouse.

90% of the time, the only thing that works is shooting. I can't steer the plane, it will just crash. I cant move the mortar shooting location, it moves barely when I make huge mouse movements, it almost doesnt move at all. Stationary guns move half of the time as they should, some dont move at all.

I have an Xbox controller installed on my PC. Trying to fix this problem, I disabled it in Windows and restarted my PC as suggested. Still the problem persists. It also shows an Xbox controller in the game controlsettings. However, I disabled it correctly as it no longer works ingame.

Im a PC gamer, I like to play shooters with mouse and keyboard. Please help me to fix this sickness.

Just another example how games with a priority for consoles infect my experience with ebola. Im sorry, but this is ruining my experience a lot.

Thanks in advance for any help.

EDIT: Im amazed that developers, leave something as essential as controls, untested. If I would do my job like that, Im quite sure Im quickly out of a job. This is very poor.

    As a temporary solution, when it happens, hit the tilt key(~) twice. However, the problem returns everytime you open the Origin overlay/friends with shift+f1.

  • Myself and several other people I know also have this annoying issue, came out of a game with a score or 3-20 last night because of it.
  • On PC, I've found the quickest and easiest way to fix this issue is to ALT+TAB out of the game and back in.
    However, it's extremely annoying because, as you mentioned, you don't notice this to be an issue until you are in a "vehicle"  and can reoccur.

    I got this issue alot of times.

    The easiest way i found to fix this is to spam f1,f2,f3,f4 fast a few times. i dont know which one does it.

    But this fixes the issue for me so i can move the mouse without it lagging and without shooting like 10-25% of the speed.

    Like I mentioned before, the easiest of all tricks until they fix it;

    Open and close console

    This is done by using the "Tilt" key ( ~ ).

    Hope that helps.

  • Used the 360controller in the flight mission in singleplayer, unplugged it restarted windows, keybindings etc. and still bf1 is saying "yeah dude your using a 360controller when your in a vehicle"

    gonna test out the console key but its a major issue!, know it works when you enter "controlls" menu & "keybindings" menu but then you waisted 10seconds in the vehicle -.-

    sure gotta love betafield :D
