Re: PS4 controller not being recognized on NFS Unbound

@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?

    @EA_David I was online with tech support for over 45 min with them trying to help and this suggestion never came up I realize now that I only tried the controller with the game already running not plugging it up then starting thank you for the help!

    @EA_David Just tried the same solution with my PS4 controller and it worked! The trick is to plug the controllers up before you even launch the game. Thank You so much!!!!

    Sorry it took so long to get straightened out, but thanks for the confirmation.
  • Doesn't work with ps5 controller though.
    Or at least not for me.: (
  • Mine PS4 controller doesnt seem to work. Even if i plug it in before launching the game. Did you do something else?

  • Do you figure using a controller masking software like DS4Windows would allow PS controllers to work, at least until a solution is implemented?

    Edit: after a quick test, DS4Windows does allow a PS controller to work.

    If you have the game on steam/ have steam open you may need to disable steams controller config in big picture mode or just exit steam.

  • I have the issue with the Xbox Elite2 controller. I can navigate the menus normally (Tho it still shows keyboard inputs in the prompts. Once I go into the game and attempt to control the car, the left thumbstick just moves the camera around the car and no button is mapped for accelerate. Button remapping would fix this issue. 

  • Ive tried both controllers and both do not work. why cant you just release a working game on launch.. Try play testing games before releasing them, on multiple different systems.

    Also cannot play with key board and mouse, car doesn't accelerate and is stuck at 60 mph, with brake light on and car goes by itself, if I'm not giving an input.

    Hi, unfortunately I don't have any updates around the PS4 controllers, but I just wanted to nip in to address some other raised issues in the thread 

    @Nach🤭choSix Can you try updating your controller firmware?

    https://support.xbox.com/en-IE/help/hardware-network/controller/update-xbox-wireless-controller#:~:text=Update%20on%20PC&text=Open%20the%20Xbox%20Accessories%20app,Install%20the%20update.

    As for using the keyboard, we do have this thread on the ghost input issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/ACCELARTION-AND-BRAKE-STUCK/m-p/12102878#M219

    @dontarius14 Usually the trial is grabbed from the Standard Edition store page. What system are you on? Can you try resetting your device then double checking that you're on the account with the active EA Play membership, then check again?
