PS5/PS4 controller AC:origins steam 2021 fix

[Spiderz]

To use PS5/PS4 controllers and stop keyboard conflicts on AC:origins on steam you have to change "ACO.ini" with notepad found in "C:\Users\***username**\Documents\Assassin's Creed Origins"

your "input" should look like this which looks silly because its xbox but it works:

[Input]
SelectedPad=XBOX 360/ONE For Windows (Controller)
KeyboardMouseEnabled=0
AutoSwitchEnabled=0

saves these changes in notepad.

SelectedPad=None, SelectedPad=PS4 Controller and SelectedPad=Wireless Controller don't function correctly or have limited function for playstation controls but have been suggested on other threads/forums

"SelectedPad=XBOX 360/ONE For Windows (Controller)" is the one ini code that works

with the game launched you then need to change the "controller icons" to "DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller" which should look like this:

this works for PS5 controllers as well as PS4 as i stated above, i am using a PS5 controller on steam AC:origins without ds4 or anything else which works flawlessly, rumbles etc. As does the ps4 controllers. This fix works for both big picture and standard steam. My steam controller settings are mostly typical or default.

the only issue with this fix is the .ini sometimes reverts back to default non controller settings every few game launches, i can't tell if this is a ubi or steam issue. Keep the fix in a notepad and repaste it or check the ini each time before launch.

i'm posting this because it took me time to figure out.

It's not something we see a lot of contacts on so it's not something we would typically pin I'm afraid, but you can bookmark the link yourself if you think you may need to refer back to it in future.
