Call of Duty: Warzone – Fix: Controller Not Working on PC

This tutorial will outline steps to make the controller (gamepad, joystick) work with Call of Duty: Warzone.

Method #1

Start the game; in the main menu, there are three lines (a hamburger-looking thing) in the lower-left corner; click on it and go to Settings > General; from there, you may change the input device to the controller.

Method #2

• Launch Steam.

• On the top left, click on Steam.

• Go to the Settings.

• Click on the Controller.

• Click on the “General Controller Settings” button.

• Select/Check your gaming controller—for example, PlayStation Configuration Support.

• Then go back and click on the OK button.

• Launch the game and check your controller.

When to plug in the controller

Connect the controller before starting Call of Duty: Warzone. Do not connect it while the game is starting, as this may lead to issues.

Check the batteries

It may sound elementary, but if you’re using a controller that runs on batteries, even rechargeable ones, the chances are your batteries may have given up on you. Batteries may run out faster than usual as they age, and it may also be a sign to get a replacement or find other alternatives if this keeps happening more frequently.

Try out different USB ports

Cabled controllers may suffer from connectivity options. Changing USB ports will be a decent way to troubleshoot any connectivity issues that aging ports can cause. If you hear a little chime while your controller stops working, you’ll know that there might be something wrong with your port or the cable of your controller.

Reinstalling the drivers

Controllers also have drivers, and they’re usually updated with automatic Windows updates. If you have disabled updates before or it’s been a while since you last updated, you’ll need to check if any drivers are released for your controller. Follow these steps to reinstall the drivers:

• Right-click the Windows start button.

• Select Device Manager.

• Find your controller in the device list.

• Right-click the controller and select Uninstall device.

• Restart the PC with the controller plugged in.

• The drivers will be re-installed automatically.

• Or Type in your controller’s model into Google and also add drivers at the end. Navigate to your controller’s manufacturer’s website and download the latest available drivers.

Method #3

Download the Xbox 360 Controller Emulator: https://www.x360ce.com

• Click on the “Download for 64-bit games” button.

• It supports all joystick versions, including the PS4, Logitech controller.

• Run the x360ce_x64.exe application in the Call of Duty: Warzone folder.

• Click on the Create button.

• Extract the zip to the folder where Call of Duty: Warzone is installed.

• Make sure the USB is plugged in.

• Click on the Create button.

• Click on the Next button.

• Click on the Finish button.

• Go to the Game Settings tab.

• Click on the “Apply/Synchronize Settings” button.

• Click on the OK.

• Go to the Controller 1 tab.

• Click on the Save button.

• That’s all; you can now play the game.
