USB devices keep disconnecting during Origin games

Hello,

Both Fifa 21 and Madden 21 and 22 have a strange issue on my pc. I bought these games through Steam, but Origin is also required to launch them. During any of these games, my headset, mouse, keyboard and controller will disconnect one at the time, resulting in a continuous loop of device disconnected/connected sounds. This only happens with EA games played through Origin, no other game does this.

I have already tried to disable both the Origin and Steam in-game overlays. I also disabled Shadowplay and any screencap software. I also tried playing without a controller, and playing in windowed mode. None of these things fixed the issue. Does anybody have any ideas? This makes EA Sports games completely unplayable for me =(

  • Hey @KrMees I tested this just now and not able to recreate the issue, nor am I seeing others report this.


    The best thing I can recommend is to troubleshoot this, I have a similar issue with a keyboard disconnecting when using a projector and updating the drivers for it fixed the issue for me.

  • Iv got an issue like this in f1 22 where my wheel keeps disconnecting and re connecting but it's only when I play f1 through origin 

  • i don’t have any of these issues, as i don’t have any games on steam that require origin other than k.o. city. i only play k.o. city on switch, anyway, as i actually own the full deluxe game on that. i also found a way to redeem cd keys for older games that don’t require origin or ea client, like spore, onto origin or ea client in 2022. ea removed their cd keys off of steam cuz years ago people found an exploit involving steam refunds to get those older games for near-free ($ still required, but will be refundable). i don’t know if u can do it on mac or linux, tho. i only have a windows. i only did this for spore so far, but that was before i knew about the exploit. it’s too late to refund now. plz don’t ban me, steam or ea. i only did it to be able to make a spore creature account without an error code. on steam, account creation wouldn’t work for me. sign-in would work, but not creation. on ea client, it worked first try. i never even refunded the game, i swear. it’s still in my steam library. check. there were never steam cd keys included. only origin, but i bought the game after they were removed. go deep into the game or dlc’s files (if not in the game’s, buy the dlcs and search their files), and you’ll find a code.

    @PlayfulBowl3512 ps. i got madden 22 for free with my mom’s amazon prime subscription (includes prime gaming; free games every month and dlcs often), and it was an origin digital code, not steam.
