@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. ☹️

Same problem here. Switch pro controller isn't working. Was really getting into this game, I hope they fix it soon.

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.

Same problem, fixed by running EADesktop.exe as "non-steam" game prior to launching Jedi Survivor.
This is getting ridddiculous, i gave up playing Mass Effect Legendary in the past because i couldn't get the achievements for ME2 to work.
Now i buy Jedi Survivor on a sale and the entire Steam overlay is blocked!? Why!?
EA sorry but wtf you guys doing?

Currently even Ubisoft's Uplay does a better job.
Not a single problem with overlay or achievement synching and with EA Play its problem after problem ☹️

How is this not fixed yet? I can get the controller to work by adding the launcher as a non-Steam game and running it from there, but then achievements don’t work. How has this been an issue for almost a year? This is literally the only game I’ve had this problem with on Steam.
Please fix this, EA, or I’m getting it refunded.

You know that's a great idea. I posted a fix for this problem in this thread a long long time ago and I'm also shocked to see an update indicating it's still a problem! I think I too will just submit for a refund and indicate that the reason why is the complete and utter la k of support on this topic - which makes the game actually unplayable. Seems like a legit reason to me. Thanks for the idea 👍

I finally fired up this game after purchasing it during a Steam sale and found out about the input bug. The github fix worked for me. Origin is in a constant "updating" state but I can use my xbox controller again.

**Update to above, adding the "EA app" as a non steam game to the steam library also fixes the issue.

The EA app is still garbage, there's no reason to have a launcher for a launcher for a launcher when the game could just be installed and ran but hey line go up or some nonsense.
