Product: Battlefield 1Platform:PCSummarize your bug My joystick won't work in BF1.How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) Plug in joystick 2) Start BF1 3) Attempt to bind joystick in game. 4) fail at getting game to recognize joystick.What happens when the bug occurs? 1) disbelief 2) frustration 3) anger 4) thoughts better left unsaidPlease select your region North AmericaIn what game mode did the bug occur? ConquestAMD or Nvidia Model Number Nvidia 1070Enter RAM memory size in GB 16gbI've played almost every BF title since 1942 launched in 2002. Every BF game I've played thus far has supported joysticks out of the box. Why doesn't BF1 support joysticks? What's the plan here? Will joysticks be supported in the next few weeks, or is this something we can't expect until you guys get around to it in a patch 2 years down road? I can't believe BF1 doesn't support joysticks. Any reasonable person familiar with the BF franchise would assume that BF1 would support joysticks. Can I get a full refund if joysticks won't be supported?

Joystick support is not yet implemented in-game but this is currently being worked on. While we do not have a date that Joystick support will be available, it is definitely in the pipeline. *marked as solution for player visibility

How do you have bindings for joysticks listed but then not support joysticks??

May I ask why the joysticks were not enabled on release day when you took our money ?

Surely, having working joysticks is an integral part of a PC game that has WW1 biplanes in it ?

You dissapoint me because you consistently let us down with this same joystick issue on every battlefield PC release now.

When will you serve the platform that made you guys the success you are today, properly. ?

We are talking over £100 game none of us can fly properly here and you tell us "it's being worked on"

That simply is not good enough frankly, in fact it's bs.

refund for me as well until it's fixed and in game

This a joke, a very unfunny one!

Seriously EA did you not think that PC gamers would want JS support?

Just because console peasants don't have their choice of control options there is no need to penalize us pc gamers who wish to use the correct controls for aircraft.

"i want to fly with a controller over a joystick" SAID NOBODY, EVER!

Wake up and fix it EA...

This is my first BF since bf2,I was wary because because i wondered if the game had gone away from its roots and pandering to the simpletons. I wasn't far of either from re-genning health, far too many automatic weapons(i play freaking ww2 fps that have far less full auto or even semi auto weapons than this!),no 3rd party server hosts and lack of proper controller support.Feels just like stupid COD, really lost its way since the brilliant 1942 and nearly as good bf2.
