If your keyboard doesn't work when playing Against the Storm, this might be caused by your antivirus. If you're using one, please make sure it doesn't run the game in sandbox mode.


Another solution might be to run the game in the Administrator Mode. Please follow the steps below:

  • Go to the game's installation folder 
    • By default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Against the Storm
    • Alternatively, you can right-click on the game in your library and Browse the local files
  • Right-click Against the Storm.exe
  • Select Properties
  • Go to the Compatibility tab
  • Select "Run this program as an administrator"


If you continue to experience issues with your keyboard, please try the following:

  • Unplug and plug the keyboard again
  • Unplug additional controllers
  • Restart the game and the PC


For additional help, please create a new ticket and describe the issue with as many details as possible.
