Re: PS5 Bluetooth controller is not working anymore

Prior to the anti-cheat update, I used DS4windows to allow BF1 to recognize my Dualsense controller. I used it as mixed input, with the controller in my left hand, mouse in the right for comfort and playstyle purposes.

After this update, the app is no longer allowed to run while BF1 is running. This completely removed support for this controller type.

Non-steam game integration for steam-input also does not work, regardless of whether or not the bf1.exe or ea .exes are added for steam-input.

We shouldn't have to buy new hardware (xinput) to continue playing a game after an update.

Full controller support (and by extension mixed-input) should have been included, considering this update has removed a complete category of controller input types.

Unless there's some other workaround or tweak I'm missing, this has ruined the way that I've played this game for years.

    Hello @LifeJacked,

    Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done. I strongly recommend avoiding any third-party programs, as they can lead to a ban.

    Best regards,

    In reoly to danisoff: Can you consider in your simplistic mind that all peoples that are using third party program are not doing it for cheating but because they are forced to? I am forbidden to play the game because i'm guilty of liking a sort of controller over another one... This is horsecrap
    I'm blaming microsoft and ea for this

    Absolutly agree.

    Instead of looking for a fix that enables people to continue useing their games as before, just deinstall the additonal software that just provides additonal imput for contollers?

    Makes me want to deinstall the game instead and never touch EA games again.

    I also wonder if their developers are just lazy or incapable to solve issues especially if it is a known problem that already happend to prior games (looking at youtube FC24).

    As there hasn´t been a fix to that yet, I highly doubt they will ever do something so if you use controller + software, you should avoid buying EA games in the future.

    As noted above, I also use contoller + mouse to be more comfortable playing with joytokey software (seems like that setup isn´t as rare as I thought to be).
