@cj_art This is happening for me as well. It seems like it stopped working after the most recent EA app update.

Also happening here. Controllers no longer work. ☹️

I've done all all the Repair/Verify and Cache stuff. My Nintendo Pro controller is only recognized as as keyboard/mouse, after working normally for 185 hours of gameplay. EA ID (PSN ID/Gamertag): 221e23327c1ba1b9Which client do you play from?: Windows 11, SteamAre you getting an error message? NoHow long are you playing until this happens? At game launchIs anything else happening?If possible, share a Screenshot or Clip... N/AIf on PC, please share a DxDiag file and an EA app Error ID NumberAccording to this Steam Community thread, an updated to the EA launcher is causing the problem:https://steamcommunity.com/app/1774580/discussions/0/4134934526938537478Electronic Arts pushed out an update to the EA Desktop App on 1/16/2024 (version 13.104.0.5617). The Steam Overlay, and other Steam Integrations such as Steam Input seemed to stop working for Jedi: Survivor after this EA Desktop App update.Steam Input is required to support controllers not "natively supported", the Nintendo Pro controller generally lacking native support on the PC Platform.

I've tried all controller types I own. XBOX One, XBOX One X, PS4, and Steam Controller. They work locally on the PC, but through Steamlink they do not. I have trouble with Jedi Survivor and Battlefront. Amazingly, It Takes Two has no problems.

It's somewhat comforting knowing I'm not losing my mind on my own with this not working when it worked fine last week. I can confirm other EA games I purchased via Steam still have a working Steam overlay such as Apex Legends and F1 23. Hoping they roll out a fix here in the coming days.

Same issue. I tried multiple workarounds with no luck. How can a launcher update break a whole game, huh.

Same here. Broken controller support on Steam. Have to disable Steam input for my Xbox controller in the settings.

Having this problem too.
Played Jedi survivor for 30+ hours with Stadia controller no issues.
As of today can't use stadia controller for this game but works with every other game.
Controller test works in steam (all buttons mapped correctly and functional) but steam input seems broken now for this game only.
Controller works normally for every other game.

Same problem here. MSI controller worked fine until the update, now the game cannot detect it at all.

I fired up It Takes Two today. The controller is broke. On that fame as well. I guess the EA app is effecting all EA games on Steam.

Did no one at EA test the update before shipping it?
