controller buttons not working only thumbsticks work

[Nickolay]

I have been playing for 7.5 hrs now.
and suddenly my controller does not work or do anything. I cant use the buttons only the thumbsticks. I have tried dual sense and xbox one controller. Also tried big picture mode and tried wireless and wired gameplay.
Also checked on other games where i have 0 problems.

Only in jedi survivor I am having this problem.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Having the same issue but the bottons not working are L1, L2, and Up on the D pad

My DS4stopped working but for some reason it starts to work again after I open the Controller Settings from the start screen (using the mouse)

[Nickolay]

No I use Xbox controller or a dual sense ps5.
Both have the same issue.
Only the thumbstick work in the game. The arrow keys, right buttons and all the back buttons don’t work.

I’m sensing a disturbance in the controller

I was having trouble with my Xbox One controller not registering. The way I got it to work was by disabling Steam Controller Input completely,

Right-click on the game -> Properties -> Controllers -> Disable Steam Input.

I suspect it has something janky to do with the fact that it doesn't launch through steam but the EA launcher (albeit indirectly).

Hopefully, that works for people!

[Nickolay]

no because i tried with other games as well,
Hogwarts, battlefront, RDR II and Elden ring. I have tried them all to check if it was the controller or this piece of ♥♥♥♥ game.

are you maybe using a wooting keyboard?
or any other hardware input that is using controller inputs?
i unplugged my wooting keyboard before booting the pc and now it works

I am having the same issue. Apparently they are aware that it is an issue and are working on a fix. My controller works on every game except for jedi survivor. Might try unplugging my keyboard and see if that works.

fix is to connect your controller with wire

I booted up jedi survivor after a break and got this issue, My controlle is wired, so thats not it. Only sticks work, no buttons. All other games fine

i had the same problem, and i finally fixed it! it was stupidly simple. for me atleast. i had my arcade stick plugged in aswell as my xbox elite controller. and the game could not handle it.
so i just plugged out my arcade stick and it worked.
i hope this helps!

its only the up dpad or down dpad not working for me on dual sense wired so it seems there is a problem with controller support

Same issue with my ps5 controller
My buttons don’t work but i can move n look around with the analog sticks.
I tired resting controller settings , reinstalling steam/the games but that didn’t work .
The only fix that work for me was plugging in a new or different controller and it ended up working for me. Super weird that one controller won’t work but plugging in a new one/a different controller (same brand ps5) does.
I don’t wanna get rid of my “broken” controller but if any one finds a a fix it would be nice .

Same at me, XBox one Elite and the Xbox One

Может кому поможет... Обратил внимание, что если игра запущена на компьютере через сервисы Epic, Xbox, EA, но, при этом сервис Steam также запущен (значок в трее), то джойстики во многих играх могут работать некорректно. Я, не закрываю игру, при этом закрываю Steam (выхожу из него) тогда джойстик начинает работать корректно. Jedi survivor запускаете через Steam & EA, потом закрываете Steam, чтобы в трее его не было.
