Yeah, I have the Xbox app, Xbox Accessories, Xbox Console Companion, Xbox Game Bar, and Xbox Insider Hub. I keep them updated every time I use my PC and I also updated the controller firmware on three different Xbox controllers. Still no luck. Most games in the EA app work fine with controller but a few don't. Like Battlefield 2042, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, and Dead Space Remake do not work with a controller. Ubisoft had a similar issue but the community had workarounds to edit config files. Ubisoft finally fixed the problem though. I've been waiting patiently for two months since I could not find a similar workaround and EA or the developers hasn't fixed it yet.

@thakinginaz Which controller do you have? Is it hooked up through USB or Bluetooth? I use an Xbox Elite one with USB but it also has a Bluetooth dongle specifically for my PC games.

Have you done any type of registry pr PC temp clean up or created a new Amin account and tested it?
