DEFINITIVE Xbox Controller Fix MUA1
By Sayori
ALL Credit goes to No_One's Marvel Ultimate Alliance Mega Troubleshooting/Fix Guide as this guide is a piece taken from this guide. I am making this guide instead of leaving this original guide as it is because I have been religiously searching for a way to fix Controller Support with this being the champion descending from the clouds that saved my day.
Check out my guide for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2!

Xbox One & 360 Controller Fix
Steam Big Picture is another solution to the problem however the Steam Big Picture Mode controller configuration method has not worked for me. Instead I have made a guide out of a piece of another guide (read above) which DID INDEED work, so here it is :)

THIS WILL WORK WITH MUA2 AS WELL, SEE MY CONTROLLER GUIDE FOR MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 2



To fix all issues with the controller, download XinputPlus:Download (Site is Asian but the program is in English)[sites.google.com]

Once downloaded, extract XInputPlus to your steamapps\common folder - where the game is installed in, in there make a folder called XinputPlus - and extract the contents into this folder. Once done, open XInputPlus.

Change the Target Program to the game's exe. Press Select next by the textbox then select the game's exe.
When you do that, apply these settings: (Images 1-4)





controller after pressing detect.

NOTE: If the controls are weird, for example A is switched with Y for some reason, then change XinputPlus to 32bit. To do this go to Setting ---> Dll Files.

For example if you had 2 controllers connected to your PC, and you want to use them, press detect next by Controller 1 and press Y on the controller you want to make as first player in the game, once done you’ll see Device ID appeared.

Do the same thing for second controller but this time click detect next to controller 2 and press Y on the controller you want to make it second player, then another device ID should appear, it’ll be different to the first player/controller.


Once done, press apply and press Yes on all confirmation.

*Controller rumble isn't present in this game. I believe this is a PC specific issue. May be due to the game using DirectInput API, instead of XInput, which explains the reason why XInputPlus require DirectInput Configuration.
REMEMBER!
I see a lot of people saying how it "worked the first time but never again" or just how it only works once.

This is because you HAVE TO go into XinputPlus and load your configuration into the exe
EVERY TIME BEFORE YOU LAUNCH THE GAME
Unfortunately it does NOT save for tomorrow after you've rebooted your PC and wanna have a play, you MUST recalibrate it every time before you play.

This is EASILY done as all you have to do is select the exe, and it will detect it automatically as having been calibrated. Alternatively if you have both calibrations for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 AND Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, you can save the configurations/calibrations accordingly on the top right of the XinputPlus program.

REMEMBER THIS ^
A Deep Thank You
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of those whom you have also helped No_One, for your quality fix guide :).





Reminder: This solution works with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 as well.

Tried xinput plus and it just stops MUA1 and MUA2 from loading. I'm left with a black screen.

I had tried REWASD and thought it didn't do it. But after looking into the reason why MUA1&2 controls are broke I realised I just needed to set REWASD to output as a virtual 360 controller. Worked first time, no need to remap any buttons!

Maybe it's my computer, or a windows update, but this just doesn't work for me. I'll need to look elsewhere, I guess

thats new to me o_O if you can manage to get it somewhere else and it's the same as in the screenshots of this guide then by all means :)

If your controls are inverted or are weird, try enabling 32bit mode in Setting --> Dll Files

Heyyo, to be honest I am unsure. All I can really say is fiddle with it, retry the configurations again, not saying YOU MESSED UP or anything but you never know lol. Something else you can try is selecting the official developers controller configurations.... To do that go to my MUA2 Guide it's included and works 100% the same way https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2613556733
