Re: PS5 Controller support on PC

Still an issue on DualSense controller, tried by cable and wireless - not working

tried to add the game to steam and the EA app - nope

tested with DS4 controller - nope

tried with both steam and DS4 app - nope

Any solutions EA? at least we should expect a fix or we will be stuck playing on keyboard?

I had DS4Windows open the first time I ran the game because I typically use it, so I’ve tried with and without it at this point. Still nothing, but thanks for the advice 😢

@temfromundertalHi, you may want to try DS4Windows, check here for more info: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Need-for-Speed-Unbound-Known-Issues/m-p/12093748#M136

@EA_David no, unfortunately DS4Windows is not a solution right now, the community has only solved the problem with the dualsense PS5 controller, the other controllers do not work at all.

@Betty8067 

Please, try the solution that I posted a few days ago:

- Instead of adding the Need For Speed ​​app to Steam, add the full EA app to Steam.

- Connect the PS5 controller by cable.

- Go to the controller settings in Steam and enable only PlayStation controller support, also, on the right, click on settings and then on send.

- From Steam, launch the EA app.

- When the EA application is open, launch the game from the EA application.

This is the only solution currently to be able to play with a PS5 controller, everything works perfectly this way, but it only works with the PS5 controller.

Any chance that it get fixed by tomorrow?

@fjusticia7 Missed few steps first time, but i manage to fix it now. Thanks!!

And what kind of solution is this? Why use Dualsence when you can still see only the Xbox layout of the buttons and haptics feedback, which the PS5 version has, but not on the PC version either. In addition, the vibrations are 80% weaker than with the Xbox Series controller.

did it with a ps5 controller still doesnt work i did everything correctly too the T

i get the ea games from epic games store not steam so this dident work

Hey Everyone, 

Thanks for sharing information and reports for unbound so far. 

I wanted to check if anyone is still seeing issues with PS5 controllers after today's Vol.8 update?

If so, can you confirm the following?

- Are you on the latest windows updates?

- Is there any other programs running on your device? 

Cheers!

Hello,

Last w10 update

Game is updated

Controller is updated.

The mapping is still bad as before. I came back merly 2 years after my last session on this game and the problem is still present.

(I also tried all tips, run as non steam game, big picture, DS4, DSX ect..) 

Same issue on 2 different computer.

Will be my last game from EA.

Same here nothing works

hi, i just bought the game and i have the problem with the dualsense, already ran by steam both eadesktop and unbound/unboundtrial, tried ds4 and dualsensex, nothing worked. I have Windows 10 Version 22H2

I too have been experiencing the same issue for around 2 months now. i've gone to the extent of formatting my pc and still do luck. EA support was of no help at all. i just wanna play the game how i want to play the game man 

PS5 Controller

Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Oher Programs: Steam, EA, Xbox App, GoG

Still having issues. I spent 1 hour doing all community steps to try solve this issue.

You guys are a multimillion dollar company, how is this still an issue at 2024 ?

I'm using a DualSense controller, have Unbound on PC via Steam.

When Steam Input is enabled, the game will launch totally fine (with Xbox button icons), and will have full correct controller functionality and layout.

When I *disable* Steam Input, the game won't launch at all and EA App, of all things, very briefly shows an error that there's disabled features... But Steam and EA App are entirely different programs.

Are PlayStation controller icons even natively supported in the PC version, or is it just"basic" DualShock/DualSense support in that they work but emulating as Xbox controllers..?
