hello all,while i am grateful for the anticheat efforts, it seems as of today (was working yesterday) bfv will no longer let me use DS4Windows - which i use to connect a DS4 controller.if it is possible to whitelist DS4Windows, i would be so thankful. i guess my other option is buy an xbox controller, but that would be a shame. or learn keyboard and mouse, which would interfere with my chillax posture. i'm glad bf1 still works with DS4Windows. and bf2042 has native support for the playstation controllers. but please help. i was just working way up the ranks.https://imgur.com/aR4OgNA

I appreciate your report on this. Our team has been informed, but for now, I do not have any additional information.

I have the same issue. I contacted support and they reported it as a bug and they should be working on fixing it now. It doesn't work in any EA game btw not only battlefield.

a note: rewasd worked for me after some fiddling. downside is that it costs $7, upside is that is not much. the bigger pain is figuring out how to use it as the interface is pretty confusing. i think i eventually figured out how to make it emulate the xbox360 controller and turned off the keyboard remapping, but i'm not exactly sure if i can explain how i did that.

Not just BFV, BF2042 and FC24 are doing the same here.

So basically what EA did, was not implementing native controller support for anything other than XBOX controllers (X-Input) for years.This in essence forced players to rely on third party software to be able to use basic features, such as plug and play for a commonly used controller (PS4/5, Switch,..).And then they proceed to just axe these third party software with their anticheat??Talk about tone-deaf, holy.BTW: This is not only affecting BF5, but as far as I know ALL EA titles.
