PC - Unplayable - XBox controller crashes and restarts system, mouse locked

Question

Almost a hundred crashes and retries later I've almost given up, this is a last ditch effort, so here goes --

Since about 2 days post installing the resurrection update on my PC I began running into issues with XBox controller connectivity with the game, wherein the game will freeze while I'm using the controller and will come back in a few seconds but the controller won't respond anymore, forcing me to use mouse and keyboard to play.

Now this has escalated into another weird problem -

My controller doesn't work at all with this particular game, period. But the problem is that I can't even play using mouse/keyboard anymore, as soon as I join a multiplayer session my mouse locks on the center of the screen focused on the ground rendering the game unplayable.

After I quit and restart the game hoping to fix the problem, the game crashes and RESTARTS my PC.

I've tried uninstalling the re-installing my Bluetooth drivers over and over again, even removing my controller from the paired devices list, REINSTALLING the entire game, repairing the game via Origin but nothing helps.

I have also started a Reddit thread that discusses this, please look here for more context and GIF of the mouse centering issue -- https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/7kl0cq/mouse_locked_to_the_floor_forever_tried/

Any help at this point is highly appreciated.

My PC config --

i5 6600k - Zotac GTX 970 - 16Gb Corsair Vengeance- Gigabyte Phoenix B150n Wifi motherboard - Win 10

I'm having a similar issue with my flight stick in starfighters.&nbsp; The stick worked fine before the TLJ update but now the mapping is all messed up (left and right stick inputs put me in a roll instead of yaw).&nbsp; Pulling back on the stick is changing the throttle instead of putting me into a climb. Also the sensitivity is very low.&nbsp; I tried increasing the sensitivity in settings but it didn't change anything.&nbsp; I'm using a Sidewinder Precision 2.

I've also just tried a clean PC restart, didn't help.It feels like the y-axis input is locked at a continuous down input resulting in a forever floor aiming trooper and a looping starfighter.

I bought the game, and my mouse is locked on the floor amining on the y-axis. And i dont even have any xbox-ps4 controllers, how to fix this?

I have a makeshift solution to my problem now, however this is NOT acceptable from EA as this doesn't happen in any other of my games.

The solution that I have for now is when I get a stuck y-axis using keyboard/mouse I have to QUIT the game then connect my xbox controller to the system and start the game once again, use the controller for a bit and then turn it off as soon as I join a multiplayer session, then my mouse works fine.

However I want to report that if I continue to play with my Xbox One controller or even try switching to it in the middle of the game like I used to before the TLJ update I get a HARD crash and my PC restarts 10-20 seconds into playing with the controller.

Due to this reason I cannot use my XOne controller with this game anymore, I used to switch between mouse/keyboard for the soldiers and XOne controller for starfighters on the fly previously and really enjoyed it but that is just NOT possible anymore without crashing the game.

STAFF: Please help this issue get some dev attention.
