This worked, thank you.
The main argument against reWASD is that you can have aim assist and mouse control.... whats hilarious is that I plugged in an xbox controller for the pc via usb cable... I was able to remap the left side of the controller via BF2042 menu, im able to use my mouse as well at the same time, didn't check for aim assist but the Xbox controller and mouse can be used at the same time.

I'm able to replicate the Playstation move navigation controller (reWasd)... I basically like to eliminate the keyboard by mapping essentials to the ps move controller and use mouse at the same time..... I can basically do the same thing with left side of Xbox controller it's just annoying to hold compared to ps move controller.

I'm assuming reWASD devs already in contact with EA? Let them know a lot of people use remapping due to accessibility issues. For example for me using keyboard causes pain in my left hand. Controller does not.
thanks

Does warzone work with this if u havd REWASD installed?

Solution using Steam:

Before you do this, you have to finish each rewasd process. Go to task manager, go to details tab, and close/finish each of rewasd process. Them do the next steps.

Found a solution for PS5 controller. You can connect by bluetooth the PS5 on computer. Open steam, go to configuration and go to controller. It will detect your PS5 dual sense controller. You can configure the way you want. Ok, now, you have to add in your steam library a "not steam game", and when you try to open BF 2042 in steam, it will configure your dual sense controller. Working good here

I found out that you can stop the reWASD service in task manager after exiting the program and this allows BF2042/BFV to be playable again (obviously without reWASD) which is at least some consolation that the entire program doesn't have to be uninstalled to continue playing these games using EA Anti-Cheat.

As 1ncorrect mentioned in a few messages above, we'll try to solve this issue, but we have no ETA. Thank you for understanding.

I finalized rewasdService in task manager and I able to get in battlefield 2042, but unfortunately the PS5 controller do not get recognized in the game. Last week was working good with rewasd. Plese rewasd team you going to fix this issue or is not possible?

This is really sad news, I use rewasd to map a PlayStation move navigation controller to keyboard. I use it mainly to help mitigate pain I have in my left hand. No cheating no bs. This is devastating news really. I've been playing battlefield franchise since 2011.

Do the dev of reWASD have a plan to fix the situation?? please this needs to be addressed. I've sent an email to EA with a complaint and joined the forum here as well. please help.

I can't give you any time frame, but we will try to solve this issue.

P.S. It's really cool that you contacted EA personally!

Another update:
EA Anti-Cheat, now used in Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V, is now blocking the game from running if reWASD is detected as installed. reWASD does not have to be running, it still stops the game from running even if the program is closed. This is similar to COD's blocking.


It is now becoming impractical to remain a reWASD user if you actively play multiplayer shooters at all. I wish reWASD had reacted to the rising tide of people using their program to cheat much sooner, and evaded being targeted by these companies.

Looking around on web ... one can certainly see rewasd beeing associated with cheating.

While rewasd was certanly not designed to be cheating software ... it certanlt CAN be used to gain advantage over other players (what most ppl will define as cheating) ... saying otherwise is just naive

And while rewasd is not the only remapping software (Cronus ... Xim) ... it seems its the one getting single out atm.

I could find 2 scenarios were ReWASD can be used to gain advantage on other players:

1. Fooling game in believing you using controller to gain Aim Assist ... while in fact you are using kbm (keyboard mouse) as Virtual Controller

2. Macros/Combos ... where you can assign input sequence for a single press button ... using this one can compensate for gun recoil in FPS game.

Most of cheating ranting concernd FPS games. But i can see rewasd being used in fighting games to gain advantage too (pulling hard to do combos with a single press of the button) ... possibly other type of games too.

In the end ... i dont think there is a way to use rewasd in competitive gaming without there being a way to abuse its functions to gain advantage.

i think one can hope for ... is developers not banning ppl from multi-player games if rewasd is disabled/turn off ... not allowing game to start if rewasd is simply present (aka it is turn off) on system - is a bit over the line

Just my 2 cents.

PS. Gaining advantage over other players is pretty funny way to define cheating. One can argue that rewasd limits polling rate to 500, therefore ppl with 8000 polling rate keyboards are cheating (since they have advantage over me)?

If I have 14900K with 4090, 500hz monitor, 8000 polling rate kbm, fastest internet that money can buy ... am I a cheater since I have massive advantage over other players?

So right now it seems they can detect the program on your computer, i uninstalled it and the game is working normal again. If your having issues try saving your profiles and uninstall REWASD

This is even worse ! Need to uninstall reWASD just to play online shooter and then install again for other game, it' a nightmare
