Can you play Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty with a controller? In short, yes.

If you want to know can you play Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty with a controller, then we’re going to answer that very question right here.

The release of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is imminent and people can’t wait to get their hands on it. A second official demo was released on February 24th, driving up the hype even further.

The game will be available on Xbox, Playstation and PC, with many PC gamers seemingly wondering if they can use a controller like their console brethren. Well, we are here to tell you that yes you can.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will feature full controller support. There are 5 controller presets available, meaning you have freedom with how you map your inputs, or can simply mirror the PlayStation or Xbox controls you are used to. There will also be options to customise the vibration settings, as well as support for the haptic controls on the Dual Sense controller.

Things are not necessarily all plain sailing, however, with multiple Demo players reporting issues getting the game to recognise their controller.

How to fix controller connection on Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

As an action role-playing game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is well suited to playing on PC with a controller. The PC provides the gaming power which allows for high frame rates and resolutions, while the controller gives efficient and comfortable inputs for slaying the enemy.

However, many people who have played the demo are reporting problems with the game recognising their controller, while others say it recognises it but the input mapping is faulty.

Some issues are inevitable with a brand-new release, and we’re sure they will be an update to solve the problems. If yours are persisting you can try some common fixes below.

Restart all connections

The trusty old off and on again. Restart your computer and see if that solves the issue. If that doesn’t work close the game and then disconnect and reconnect your controller before relaunching.

Disable HID-compliant game controllers.

The issue seems to be being fixed for many by going to Device manager > Human Interface Devices > Disable all HID-compliant game controllers.

If the problem persists, see if your controller works on other games in the Steam library. This will confirm that the issue is with the game itself and not the controller. If none of the above has worked you may have to wait for a patch to fix the bug.

Frequently asked questions

Do all Steam games work with a controller?

Yes, you should be able to play any steam game with a controller, though there are sometimes glitches or issues which prevent this.

Is PC gaming better with a controller?

This comes down to personal preference. On the hand, controllers do have more precise inputs than simply on or off of a keyboard or mouse click, however, there are also far fewer inputs to choose from.
