The Battlefield 6 anti-cheat system treats these tools as potential cheating methods. To maintain fair gameplay, it blocks such software and displays this error whenever you try to launch the game. Now that you know why this error occurs, let’s move on to the solutions.
1. Disable Third-Party Controller Emulators
Disabling third-party controller emulation programs prevents duplicate controller signals and ensures the game only recognizes trusted devices.
2. Configure Controller Through Steam Input
Instead of relying on third-party software, configure your controller directly through Steam. Steam Input is trusted by most games and avoids conflict with Battlefield 6’s anti-cheat.
3. Use x360ce as a Last-Resort Workaround
If none of the above solutions work, you may try x360ce. This tool remaps your controller into the Xbox XInput format, which Battlefield 6 usually accepts. However, keep in mind that it is still an emulator and may carry the same risks of detection as other tools. Use this only as a fallback option. NOTE: In the latest versions of x360ce, you usually don’t need to place the executable in the Battlefield 6 folder. If your controller still doesn’t work, try adding x360ce.exe into the game’s installation directory as a final step.
