I am unable to dodge using spacebar or fire arrows using left mouse button. These buttons work in all other contexts in the game.

I managed to fix it by going into the game settings and setting the trigger deadzone to max (0.90).It then showed me the controller disconnected message, and dodge and right click worked

rebound the keys for dodge still didnt work....

I have same issue with Razer Tartarus V2. I found out the keypad registers as PlayStation controller for some reason and has the "L2" button held down. If you go in to controller keybinds and attempt to rebind a button it keeps registering as "L2" being held down..only way to stop it was to unplug the Tartarus. Basically the game thinks your got "Ability Shortcuts" held down 100% of the time on controller i think. (UPDATE)I fixed it by using my spare xbox controller to go to controller keybinds in-game and swapping the "Ability Shortcuts" button of L2 with the "Navigation tip" button of D-Pad ⬆️. Dodge and Ranged attacks work now with my Tartarus

lol genius! I don't have an xbox controller so this won't work for me, but it's amazing you figured that out

No, it's just dumb. It doesn't differentitate between "controller A" and "controller B." (Because on consoles there is no need, and this one is a lazy port.) It just treats any HID-compatible controller as valid, and uses that. My VKB Flight Sticks are treated as valid controllers. And then the game goes to additional lengths and doesn't have the option to disable controllers — neither individual, or as a category. Last time I saw something like this was back in the 2010s with indie games. Even Ghost Recon: Breakpoint (that has the same issue with controllers) has a way to just disable them. This is unacceptable for a triple-A game in 2024.

Can't dodge or use arrows on PC using mouse and keyboard.

I went into the steam Controller Settings and Enabled Steam Input and it has fixed the issue.
You can find the settings by clicking on the controller icon on the games steam menu.
Edit: It also made my xbox controller start working as well.

Hey Everyone,

To check do you have any hardware software running like Razer Synapse? If so try closing it and checking if this continues

  Still the same. Also the space bar is working for every other control, just no key for the dodge control.

  Just so you know atleast for me the game was registering the Tartarus 2 pad as PlayStation controller with the L2 button continuously held down. Everytime i unplugged it everything worked but soon i plugged it back in it registered as L2 being held down.
  The trigger deadzone fix someone posted of maximising trigger deadzone worked.

Same here. I have the Razer Huntsman V3 and can't dodge or use ranged attacks as long as my keyboard is plugged in. Closed all the software though the task manager and tried also the "Enabled Steam Input"-Fix, but nothing works so far.

I have the same issue. Closing Razer Synapse does nothing. Unplugging my Razer Keypad is not an option for me. This is a coding issue as every other game I play works perfectly.

[Information and Troubleshooting]

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to check if anyone is still seeing crashing at launch after updating their BIOS. If so, be sure to try the steps on our post: Dragon Age The Veilguard - Technical Assistance & Bug Reports | EA Forums - 4985821

We can also try a few workarounds depending on exactly what is happening.

Unable to continue past "Press Start To Play" - Try making changes to Windows Defender, steps here.

Crashing during Shader Compilation - Check for BIOS, Windows, and Graphics Driver updates.

Inputs not registering in Character Creator or when playing, Try disabling any third-party software (like Razer Synapse) and check if this continues. If this continues, try using a different peripheral.

Also make sure you have not additional Input devices (like HOTAS controllers) connected.

After going through the above troubleshooting and workaround. If you continue crashing at launch or when trying to start a new game, please let us know the following.

EA ID (PSN ID/Gamertag):

Which platform or client are you on?

Are you getting an error message?

If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip...

If on PC, please share a DxDiag file and an EA app Error ID Number

We can use this information, to help make the team aware of the issue and to further investigate.

Cheers!

Dodge is not working at all (PC, mouse + keyboard). As the result, there is impossible to play warrior class - big ogres kill the char because he cannot avoid their attacks. Rebinding to another key doesn't help. Could anyone help with this?
