Can't Click on Anything in PvZ.

Hello, 

I recently purchased and downloaded "Plants Vs. Zombies GW" to my PC and it appeared to have downloaded properly at the time.  The game loads out of Origin okay, I hear the normal music, and it even logs into the internet just fine on its own.  However, I cannot click on anything in the game.  None of the buttons work (Sticker pack, multiplayer, garden ops, etc.).  Wondering if anyone could please help me figure this out?

Have a good day,

Hopeless Gamer

    Hey! I'm happy to report I was able to get both the game and controller working last night!  The "Clean Reboot" had to have been what did it.  Thanks again for your help David!

    Thanks for the reply, I was trying to use a PS4 controller and had that running while booting up the game originally.  I restarted my machine and tried booting up PvZ without the controller or program activated but still didn't work.  

    However, I have not tried a clean boot so I'll give that a shot later tonight.  Definitely appreciate the quick response and will report back.

    @OwNaGeDooD3 Thank you. As far as I'm aware Garden Warfare doesn't have native support for PS4 controllers, but you should be able to get it to work if you use a 3rd party solution (xinput is popular, but I don't use it myself)

    I think it'll need to emulate a Xbox 360 pad to be detected. 

    I hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

    Splendid, thanks for the update. A Clean Boot starts your machine without 3rd party programs, so if it issue returns you can check what programs are running, and disable them one at a time until you're up and running again.

    I haven't been able to get my Xbox 360 gamepad to work with PvZ Garden Warfare either. I tried the clean reboot and my gamepad works in Steam. Also, my view keeps spinning in the game, so I can't use keyboard controls. Any suggestions?
