Issues with Xbox wireless controller on PC (ME1, ME2)

Ok, so I started ME:LE (on PC) and then opened my current progress on ME1 (EDIT: and on ME2), using an Xbox Series X controller (connected to the PC via Bluetooth); and as soon as the gameplay starts...

    Same issue here.

    Series X controller mappings over Bluetooth on PC are totally broken in ME1. Haven't tried ME2 or ME3 yet.

    The same controller works in other games, and in this game's launcher.

    I have it on Origin too, and found this workaround was successful - connect the controller with the USB-C cable and start the game. Once you are in and playing, you can remove the cable and it will revert to using Bluetooth, with the mappings still functional.

    edit: The other thing that works, is to start the game with keyboard/mouse and turn on your controller after you get to the ME1 menu.

@EA_David It's a step in the right direction, although I forgot to mention I bought ME:LE via Origin; so the Steam workaround is not an option for my issue.

    @Profanicus I tried this a couple of times and so far it has worked for me. Kudos for that find!!! Will post any updates.

    @Profanicus Nice one, that works for me too! It's not fixed in the recent pach, but I can plug my controller in over the other side of the room, load the game, disconnect it and play wirelessly.
