The Battlefield 2042 beta has been quite enjoyable thus far, however, there have been a rather high number of bugs and annoying errors reported over the last few days. One of those peculiar errors is for those playing on PC using a controller with the controller seemingly not working. While I refrain from advising you just use a mouse and keyboard, we are going to look into how to fix this Battlefield 2042 beta issue and get you back into the severs.

There are a couple of fixes to the above issue that we are going to run through. These are pretty common fixes to a number of issues around controllers not working but let’s give them a try if you haven’t already.

  • First, ensure your controller is properly connected to the PC. Try disconnecting your controller entirely and then reconnecting to be thorough.
  • Try connecting your controller into different USB ports (get the cable out if wireless) and even through a USB hub if you have one.
  • Close the game down and try disconnecting your mouse and keyboard before booting the game back up.

We are unsure if DICE is going to address this bug or just leave it till after the beta is over. There have been a high amount of bugs and errors yet the beta has still been quite enjoyable. What is concerning is the amount of time before the initial release date, can they fix everything before the big launch? Is the game even ready for a big launch? I guess we will find out soon enough.
