Controller doesn't work with new EA App

[QuizzicalChris]

Origins was updated to the new EA App on my machine this morning and now DA:I refuses to recognize that my controller is connected.

I submitted an error report to EA, but wanted to check and see if anyone else has had this issue and found a workaround.

Thanks!

I have the same issue, the game refuses to see my controller. Im still looking for a solution

I found a really simple solution, if you launch the game from origin instead of steam the game does recognize that your controller is connected.

Just go back to Origin, EA Desktop is total trash
Don't fix what ain't broken. Just untick autoupdate Origin to make sure it doesn't brick itself again.

That did the trick, thanks so much!

Use origin, make sure your controller is "awake" prior to load. It's fine then.

You're welcome
EA Desktop is an unfinished buggy mess and also removed a ton of features.
It doesn't even run on my PC so if I'm forced to switch I'll lose my games on there.
EA makes it sound like Origin is dead but it's here and works much better than the new crap for now so just trying to help people out. The download link should be pinned on the forum, well really they should just never required an extra launcher in the first place but you know.

If you followed the steps correctly and nuked EA Desktop before (also from Steam game folders) it works, I have Origin open right now.

just use ds4 windows. no need to install old origin anymore and you can play every game with controller without downloading any other software but DS4
