Dragon Age Inquisition PC Gamepad error
So I've decided to try giving my gamepad a try one night seeing as to people saying it flows a lot better. Well, after I switch it, Dragon Age doesn't seem able to recognize it for whatever reason and it won't let me switch back to keyboard and mouse, even after unplugging it. So now all I can do is stare at the title screen and it won't let me proceed. Any ideas?

The game seems to get confused if you have multiple game input devices. In my case, I had a T.Flight HOTAS X joystick plugged in as well. I unplugged that (so the gamepad was the only device plugged in), restarted the game, and then the gamepad started working in Dragon Age.

How do I get Dragon Age Inquisition to recognize my controller?
Re: [PC] Dragon Age will not recognize and input from my controller. If it does, you're in luck. Load a save on PC controls and change one option in the options menu. (something like turn friendly fire on) This will ensure that it rebuilds your profile options and refreshes them.Can you play Dragon Age Inquisition with a controller on PC?

Windows might sometimes be unable to detect your gamepad due to an overload of devices plugged in to your machine. Try to disconnect other plug-and-play devices and see if the issue persists. In addition, if you're using a USB hub, be sure to disconnect your gamepad from the USB hub and connect it directly to your PC.Can you play Dragon Age Inquisition on PC with a PS4 controller?
