Today, we’re going to go over all the workarounds you need to try out in order to get any controller to function flawlessly in the COD MW 2 game. So, keep reading.
How to Fix the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Controller Not Working Issue?
Below are the steps that you need to follow in order to fix the controller issue in COD: MW 2:
Step 1: Head over to “Steam” and navigate to the “Library.”
Step 2: Find “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta” under the list of games, click on it, and select “Properties“.
Step 3: Now, under the “Controller” section, change the settings from “default” to “Disable Steam Input“.
This will make sure that Steam has no interruption between the game and the controller. Steam’s input can sometimes cause an issue with mapping the controller, which in turn makes the controller unsupported in the game. Hence, to repair this issue, you must do the above-listed steps. And yes, this solution has worked for many users out there. If this doesn’t solve your problem, then you may need to check your controllers hardware connectivity to the PC or if the PC even supports the firmware of the controller.
That’s all, folks! We hope that we were able to help you fix the controller connectivity issue in COD: Modern Warfare 2.
Thanks for reading. Stay tuned.
