Help! I have a PS4 controller and I want to use it to play World War Z: Aftermath on PC. But when I connected it to my computer and tried to use it in the game, it just didn’t work. None of the buttons are working. Even the analog stick is also not working. How can I fix this? Havx
Apart from the PlayStation 4/5 controllers, it seems even owners of Xbox controllers and generic controllers are also having some issues with World War Z: Aftermath.
Hey, my Xbox One controller is not working on World War Z: Aftermath, but it works on other games like Forza Horizon (Steam version) and the previous NBA 2K21. I’m not sure what the problem is. Can you help me fix this issue? Czarna
I just installed World War Z: Aftermath hoping to experience the game on a PC. The game works fine when I use the keyboard, but I prefer to use a controller. I am using a Logitech F310 and I have the latest driver for this controller. After I insert the controller using USB, it doesn’t work on World War Z: Aftermath. Any help to fix this? Snipie

Fix World War Z: Aftermath Controller Issues
Before we start with the main troubleshooting, let’s try the most basic method to fix this issue. Depending on which controller you are using to play World War Z: Aftermath, make sure that the controller support is enabled on your PC.
Update Your Controller Drivers
Just like any other external peripherals, there’s a chance that your computer doesn’t have the driver dedicated to your controller. That is one of the reasons why your controller is not working in World War Z: Aftermath.
If you know the manufacturer of your device, simply visit their website and download the drivers needed. You can even ask for their support for the correct driver version that you can use.

As for our recommendation, you can download install IObit’s driver booster or Driver Easy to automatically get the latest driver update for your PC.
