Need for Speed: Unbound PC - PS5 DualSense controller not working
Despite apparently fully supporting and recommending a controller for game play. The game will not work with a DualSense5 controller. Have used 2 different emulators, tried adding to Steam and using Big Picture.
Bluetooth or cable. Buttons are completely screwed and not playable at all.
You cant even change the button mappings in game...
Has anyone got this working?
I'm having the same issue but with a PS4 controller instead I bought the game through the EA app and thought I was alone when I launched it and found out it wouldn't recognize my controller at all with or without DS4. I contacted support and after a few failed attempts at helping they suggested I make a post here. I just asked for a refund since I thought the steam version would at least let me use a controller.
Did you guys get the controllers to work? i have a ps5 dualsense and the keybinds are also all wacked out. r2 is nos the camera is looking back at all times, they said they would have full controller support and wheel support what happened??? EA FIX THIS ISSUE NOW!
Here I was thinking of buying the game but guess I’ll wait if controller support is a car crash (sorry for that pun haha) nfs heat was the same so can’t say I’m shocked.
no, did not work at all. tried to plug it in, reboot machine and restarted game. the left stick worked, but the rest was still not working. Was not able to drive.
the same for me, I've been trying all day to make this work, there is no way, DualsenseX, DS4 Windows, change the configuration within Steam to the PS4 controller and add the game to the Steam library, nothing works, this is nonsense.
Refund also refused for me, they say that "you have to wait until December 2 for the game to be published worldwide"
PS: I have tried original PS4, PS5 and XBOX controllers.

@ZjemCiKolege Win 10
Fixed for me.
After so many hours today testing with various people on the reddit forum, a user named
BR3NDANP has done a test THAT HAS WORKED WITH PS5 CONTROLLERS:
- Connect the PS5 controller via USB, open Steam > Steam tab > Parameters > Controller > General controller settings > Activate ''PlayStation controller settings'' > click on PS5 controller at the bottom > Preferences > Send.
- You click add a non-steam game to Steam, click "browse", go to the directory where EA Desktop is installed (if its the same as mine it'll be something like C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop) and add EADesktop.exe. Then you should be able to launch the EA Desktop app from Steam, and then the game from there.
EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY, ALL THE BUTTONS ARE PLACED, I have tried this with a PS4 controller but this solution does not work.
I hope it works for you and you can play this game in its early version.
I've tried what you suggested, and it doesn't seem to work for me! ☹️ When you mean activation PlayStation settings, do you mean ticking that "PlayStation Configuration Support"?

@Greenfield-Racer yes, I mean "PlayStation Configuration Support", this only works with PS5 controller, with PS4 controller it doesn't work.
SOLUTION - FOR PS5 CONTROLLER - WINDOWS 11 - ORIGIN
From all of the above tests, this is the one that has worked for me.
Completely close the Origin app (check it is closed in the task tray too)
Connect the PS5 controller via USB
Open Steam
Hit 'Steam' in the top left -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings
Tick "PlayStation Configuration Support"
Click on the Playstation 5 Controller under "Detected Controllers" at the bottom
Select Preferences
You can leave settings default here or adjust colours as you need. Then press "Submit" and close the settings boxes.
Add the 'non steam' game to your library
Games -> Add a non steam game to my library
Click browse and go to the install location (By Default in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed Unbound\NeedForSpeedUnbound.exe")
Once added, run the game from here and enjoy!
Thanks to @fjusticia7 for the solution.

@92-IronFist For those who do not work adding the game to Steam, they must add the entire EA application to steam as a game, then launch the EA app from Steam and from there, launch the game, they will see in the steam library as the EA app is running. You don't have to thank me, we've been testing solutions all day long on different community forums, this solution came up with the user I mentioned above, after trying all things all day long, but it's a bit embarrassing that it's always the right one. community who has to remedy things or small far-fetched solutions to play something that we have paid for.
