Patch 2 still has not resolved Logitech Controller Issue of Incorrect Mapping

This is still a MAJOR issue posted on multiple other threads and has not been corrected in the last patch. As posted on a previous unresolved thread:

I have tried using different versions of x360ce emulator (including Beta 2.1.2.191 as mentioned in below link*), reinstalling the game to a different HDD, trying multiple controllers with/without motioninjoy, unplugging keyboard/peripherals, using USB 2.0 and 3.0, disabling origin in-game, verifying with device manager that controller is recognized properly, you name it - I've done it.

The game knows that there is a controller plugged in but it recognizes the keys in the wrong spots and only a few of them. For instance: right tumbstick click = "start", right bumber = "A", left bumber = "Y", right bumber = "B", and I can only assume judging from the sound but no action that left trigger = "X". None of the other keys render a response and every possible combination/configuration of files using x360ce including "xinput1_3.dll" through "xinout_9_0_1.dll" will not register or fix the issue. I am mainly trying to get this to work on a Logitech Afterglow PL-6302, but I've tried another and newer model of Logitech (friends- can't remember model #), and also PS3 Dualshock. The Afterglow has proven to work with other games including Middle Earth: SOM running x360ce, and Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 without x360ce, so my knowledge of x360ce and the controller are not the issue.

I'm using a Windows 7 x64, NVIDIA GTX 750, Intel i7-4820K 3.7 GHz, 16GB RAM. The only conclusion I can reach is this game needs to be patched with updated gamepad settings. I shouldn't have to mention that I've spent numerous hours trying to fix a game I paid for last month and haven't been able to play yet because the controls are optimized for the main thing that doesn't operate correctly. PLEASE can you get a work order in the next patch (preferably soon) because playing with a keyboard and mouse is just not gonna happen the way this game is built. Getting close to refunding....

Did you manage to fix your problem? I'm having the same issue with my xbox controller as well.

You only get ONE opportunity to describe your problem on Answer HQ. Repeating the same thing is SPAM and is against the rules here.

The other description was buried in another user's thread comments while he/she STILL has had no success either of getting this problem resolved. So no, this is NOT spam or against the rules, it's a recurring issue brought up by me in detail that still has not been looked at or patched, and I STILL have not been able to play this game since Cyber Monday. So before attacking the wishful users of this incomplete PC version, please provide a solution instead of trying to downplay the issues EA is overlooking.

No, I tried using an Xbox controller as well and still no success. This is obviously a development issue being disregarded, since no amount of controller or emulator will solve the problem.

I was using a Logitech F710 comtroller with no problems befor Patch #2 now I can't even play the game. I'm not familiar with the controller you have so this may not help your problem at all. Is the controller running in the new XMode or Direct Input? Direct Input and Xmode require different drivers in windows. The F710 has a switch for both and I'm using Xmode. You never have to change this once the controller is properly detected by windows because it has a button for switching between the two modes in game. If your controller has a switch for both then try this at the desktop not in game. Switch to the other mode and wait for windows to detect and install a different driver. In Xmode windows detects the F710 as and XBox 360 controller but Rumble Pad 2 driver will fail to install with hardware not found error. In Direct Input mode widows detects the F710 as a Rumble Pad 2 only. As a side note, rumble won't work in any game with F710 unless you do what I just stated first. Even Logitech's support forums don't have any info on getting rumble to work. So you realy need Direct Input drivers even in Xmode and your controller may require both mode drivers to.

See, if your controller was working fine before the patch, then that just proves that the code or settings from the Dev's need to be modified to accommodate controllers. I was using a similar model from a friend when I was initially troubleshooting, which had the two modes on it, however it was recognized by the computer, and in its device properties all of the buttons were operating correctly. Still only the same buttons as on my main Afterglow PL-6302 v3.3 were registering in game, which was mentioned in the first comment including the bumpers acting as the X, Y, A, B. Even on the Afterglow, the windows driver "ps3sixaxis_en.exe" installed and operated fine, and I'm able to play any other game using it without issue, the only game regardless of what controller is plugged in is DA:I. Hopefully that does help others though, and we can actually play this game. So far it has been a waste of time money.

Sorry wasn't clear, controller works fine even after patch #2. Problem is after patch #2 game freezes constantly and is unplayable.

This probably just makes me feel good writing on this forum at this point, because it is clearly not being looked at by EA. Instead of solving the issues mentioned above, now with patch 3, the game does not even recognize the controller to even attempt at messing up the key mappings. Thanks again for all the warm help and support.

Hahahaha I know right? Instead of solving the bug they are just altogether disabling your controller.
