How to Use a controller on Call of Duty: World at War on PC in 2022

[@doubble_H]

thank you. This works fine in 2023 as well. It will probably work well in 3023 as well.

Christ almighty how hard would it have been for them to just update the game with gamepad compatibility activated, like how virtually every other game from the 7th gen is on pc. They have the gall to charge top dollar for cod games on steam thats the least they could do.

Agreed.

Works as well on my steam Deck. Thanks.

[@davidgaston7334]

Bro I might actually be retarded, I couldn't get these commands to work for like a year until you mentioned turning the command line off. Most games automatically do that for you after inputting a command.Thanks a ton!

[@hayden_walton]

Same thing, some people overlook things like that in tutorials I’ve watched and it makes life difficult, glad I could help.

[@jt2quick]

Thanks for sharing, buddy.... keep it up.

[@jayguero2123]

If you’re doing this on Steam Deck, make sure your controller setting is set to “gamepad” as the game automatically defaults to a community created control scheme. Also, a quicker way to do this is hitting up on the keyboard when you type exec. The line of text automatically fills itself with the rest of the command.

[@cam935n]

Please give me more details on what you did I'm getting so angry at this game and I need to do it in less than an hour or else I can't refund it if it doesn't work

[@jayguero2123]

@ When you’re in the game, hit the steam menu button > Call of Duty World at War > Controller Settings > Use Gamepad Controller (this allows the game to look for a controller directly hooked onto Steam Deck instead of Valve’s digital controls) Once you do that, follow the instructions in this video or do as I say, with the command controls >exec and then hit up on the D-Pad/keyboard so that it autofills the command. Notes: I used an Xbox Series X controller wired to my Steam Deck in docked mode. I do not use wireless as it has connection issues (which is common apparently.) You also can’t use the tactical layout in WaW PC like in other CODs, you are stuck only using the default controller scheme if you’re using controller instead of mouse & keyboard. Hope this helps, good luck.

[@jayguero2123]

@@cam935n let me know how it goes

[@cam935n]

@jayguero2123 thank you so much. I can actually play. Was really worried about this. Do you know If cod 4,mw2,bo1,mw3, or bo2 have these same systems?

[@jayguero2123]

@@cam935n If I remember correctly, Bo1 does need some slight adjustments similar to WaW. Not nearly as drastic you just have to make sure you change your controller type to controller gamepad instead of valve digital controls and go to the options in BO1 and make sure it says controller gamepad too. You also can’t use the menu without a mouse. (You actually NEED a mouse to select game modes; Campaign, Multiplayer. Zombies, etc). For BO2 and BO3, no issues at all. It should auto detect if your wired controller is already in no adjustments required. Not sure about anything else in COD. I only have WAW-BO3.

[@noelsamuels9853]

I know this reply is over a year late but im guessing your using the cracked version? If so you have to patch the game to 1.6 or 1.7 in order to implement controller input

[@dylanlatta7862]

i seriously need help before i break everything i own. i use the command exec default_controller.cfg and it works for the most part, but not fully. first i cant walk around, i have manually make the input in the controls and i see everyone not even needing to do that. secondly things like sprint, melee, holding x to use or reload do NOT work. another thing i would need to manually input. on top of all of that it seems like steam is messing with how the commands pop up in game. for instance when i put X as reload it shows up as R for kb&m or "page up" and not X like as it shows for the switch weapon prompt where it says Y. i need help and non of the videos i looks up help at all its all the same stuff. Edit: something i just realized is when i hit default controls, my prone button is now my LB on my Xbox one controller and jump is now B. what the absolute hell is wrong with my pc, game or controller. i never had to deal with this. when i first used this command a few weeks ago it worked perfectly now it just wont do as it supposed to.

I have an issue. I use the right thumbstick to look in waw but the gamepad also does this. I accidentally brush my thumb on the gamepad and it makes me look up which is distracting. I just wanna know how to disable the look option on the gamepad so i can use the right thumbstick instead. If you could help me disable it that would be cool :)

[@hayden_walton]

Tough one, it may be stuck like that because I’m not sure there is a way to manually set individual buttons/game pad on WaW, probably have to see if you can find something for WaW button mapping online, I’m sorry I don’t know.
