lemmy101 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hey peoples! It's come to our attention that we don't have many people to call upon for testing or improving joypad related things in the game--having, as you'd expect, very much mouse and keyboard-centric folks in the majority to call upon. We want to improve the joypad controls to the game over the next few builds, and would love to have some people to call on for joypad control feedback who would actually use it as the primary control method for the majority of the time. If you're someone who actually chooses to play with joypad we'd love to hear from you! Send a PM to myself and Enigma Grey with information on how you play zomboid, whether you play joypad purely for split screen, due to preference, or perhaps due to accessibility issues, please let us know!

Batsphinx Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 We will be able to give a few PZ codes to people who help us out, as a thank you. If you have any friends who want to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantman40 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I play with a hybrid style. I use a PS4 controller in my left hand, controlling movement and opening menus. I use a mouse in my right hand, a multi button Razer. I find the PS4 joystick far superior for movement than WASD keys, but the controller is far too slow and imprecise compared to a mouse, for aiming and actions. So I found what I believe is the perfect compromise. Seriously folks, try it. I think you'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbler Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I recently started poking at the game with my Switch Pro controller and have been finding it surprisingly accessible. I may be down for a few controller-only playthroughs with extemsive note-taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlar Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I just posted on the discord last week about how well the joypad works on this game now(i'm still in regular, not testing this new system yet). It's come on leaps and bounds and pretty much works as a stand alone. It's what the game needed to open up to a new market - for me, with the joypad/controller and the multi-player(when it launches) this should be one of the biggest games around. Been playing on and off for years and am very excited for where it will go next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetablegardener Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Played with a controler for a few years, single player, split screen and split screen multiplayer, I can say it's pretty good with the aiming rework, well done with jogging/sprinting, excluding a few hiccups, for instance in random order: 1. When I am in the device menu, and I press left button above the trigger and lose focus on the menu, I cannot seem to be able to get it back. 2.Disclaimer in main menu does not interact with controllers, same goes with character creation - sprite rotation, or the prompt to quit when selected from main menu yes/no only clickable with mouse. 3.Controllers cannot select colours or input symbols in the game at all. 4.Dual monitor recognition and adaptivity, I just stretch it out in extended screen, but it's windowed meh. 5.When standing next to multiple electrical devices, I have no information which one I am turning on or off. Luckly I have steam controler and it can act as mouse and keyboard on command to remedy most of this. 6.I wish the game utilized left stick more to flavor the variety of walking speed, it feels bottish when character has no fluidity between 0-100, (not counting running), especially when vehicles have this. 7.I don't currently remember if menu opacity is a thing, but it should be for when selecting containers to the south of your character with your inventory open you'd see which ones you are selecting better. 8.Default spacing between item Type and Category should Include more space for Type to allow for longer names and prevent cutoff which obscures item quantity. More UI scaling options would be welcome. 9.I don't have a solution but moving and switching weapons at the same time is impossible, it's one and then the other, not both.(Maybe tapping or double tapping weapon select button could select next weapon instead of bringing up the menu IDK...) 10.Farming needs farming selection not to dissapear once you press info on the crop for it to be ready to move on to the next one. (seems minor, but it really is obnoxious) All in all there is some jank to get used to, but I am happy with your work,, the game really came a long way. I work at the front line and thanks to you i have something to come home to. You guys, are the real heroes. Edited November 24, 2020 by vegetablegardener Added to the point 2 that the prompt to quit when selected from main menu does not accept controller inputs.

Ingeniero Rob Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Hey there! I happened to play Project Zomboid for the first time a few days ago and I'm fascinated about it I'm playing with a Xbox one pad since I prefer to play from the couch. The existing controls are quite good but sometimes keyboard has to be there to solve certain situations on the menus mostly. I'm more than happy to help with testing if needed. By the way, I've noticed that contextual "break windows" button doesn't seem to correctly mapped. Instead it has to be done with contextual menu after pressing X button.

Hi there, I am the same as you, just bought this and playing with an Xbox one controller. I can't seem to change the volume of TVs or radios? I've tried different controller buttons, and even the mouse doesn't work either. Any ideas? Do you experience the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X > Device options > RB (Select Inner) > use D-pad to scroll down to Volume > use A / B to increase / decrease volume > wait a few seconds for the action to take effect. A bit roundabout, but there are a lot of controls in this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandorea Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 FYI, we're not working on Controller improvements at the moment, so any glitches repirted will have to wait for a .. while to be fixed. But they will get fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to use the mouse to click on the x, unless I'm missing something again. Apart from that, all seems great! Pandorea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefano Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'm using an Xbox one joypad, everything runs well but when the battery is low it just goes off without any alert. Does anyone has the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver58 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) I like to play this great game by a xbox 360 controller on my PC very much, because I have strong problems using the keyboard. At the moment the game supports xbox 360 controller, only. This is a little bit pitty. I broke my 1st controller on this game. I bought a 2nd one, but this time a ThunderRobot G30. I didn't know that there are differences, because the 2nd controller looked very similar to my 1st one. Unfortunately, the game does not support the ThunderRobot G30. It is still possible to use my new controller with this game, using this trick: At first I have to put the xbox 360 controller into my computer. After that I put the ThunderRobot in. Now the ThunderRobot is seen as normal xbox 360 controller and hence I can play with it in the game. I would be very glad if there are more controller or joypads supported in future. It seems to bee that I can not do all with a Joypad. Therefore I'm glad that I can use my mouse additionally.

Have you tried experimenting with Big Picture Configuration and General Controller Settings in Steam Settings? Does the game "recognize" this controller in Library > RMC PZ > Properties > Controller? Is it picked up in Game Options > Controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
