PS4 controller not being recognized on NFS Unbound

Is there anyone else who bought the Palace editon on the EA app or Origin app and when you lauched the game your controller wouldn't connect? I've been scratching my head for hours now trying to get my PS4 controller to connect to the game to no avail. I've tried connecting my wired Xbox controller in as well but that still didn't work. Just trying to see if anyone else is being plagued with this issue or if my apps are just glitched.

  • @effone Hi, there are issues with the PS controllers right now.

    However Xbox controllers should work, I've been using one to test myself. Can you restart the game then try the Xbox controller again?

    Ok its working with new patch. 😃

    Hi, 

    i tried all the steps... nothing is working.

    The same issues like the other players.

    This is ridiculous...

    A lot of people bought the game and cant play it because of controller issues or stupid work arounds....

    Every game i own works with the PS4 controller.... only the stupid EA App cant handle it....

    Last EA game i bought....

  • Playing on EA app with a DualShock 4 with DS4Windows this is the only thing that finally worked for me, running the EA Desktop app through Steam, thanks. Very awkward process though, took me hours to find a working solution so i can start playing the game.

    Folks, yes... you can call me your savior.

    finally after trying everything i got it, i got the game through ea play i got because of xbox game pass, and my ds4 was not working at all, here is the solution:

    First you need to have ds4 windows installed and configured>
    Then you will open steam (yes, even if your game is ea play steam will save you, trust me.) on steam you will go to "LIBRARY"> "+Add Game"> then you will search for the program: "App Recovery" (which is the EA PLAY application> after that you will return to the initial part of steam, in the upper left corner you will click on "Steam">"Settings">"Control">"General Settings"> then you must enable the option "Enable Playstation controller setting" and "Enable xbox controller setting">

    After all that, just connect your controller as you always do, and NA STEAM open the "App Recovery" that will open ea play, then just start the game normally and your controller will work.
    I know the tutorial was a bit blunt, but follow the step by step and it will work.
    thank me later ;D
