Controller Fix [Maybe]
I have the original release of the game, and I found a download to fix the controller issue. (From what I'm reading it's the controller buttons not matching what's on the UI, blah blah blah)
I managed to fix it, and the download seems to have dissapeared, that or I can't find it. It's been a good two years since I installed the game again and patched it.
I'm gonna put a google drive link to a "tex" folder.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3643KXt2fRGNnBCR19kczl4dFk/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-o2swDBNeO5GTjNp24u5d-Q
Just replace the folder with the one in the MarvelUA directory and I think you should be good.
I hope it works, I'm just trying to help.
A girl can only do so much! I'm sorry if it doesn't work I'll look into it deeper!

[EDIT] Updated link since I keep getting google notifications asking for access.

Just update the drivers normally and the Xbox One controller works fine.

It's not a driver issue. :P It's hard coded in the game that the mapping isn't right.
Those files just [In theory if they're the right ones] just retexture the UI so that it shows the proper controller buttons. Not perfect mind you.

yeah what Shiny posted above is an old not so good workaround for the org MUA 2006 game.
this issue on the NEW MUA definately needs to be fixed. soo many of us have a xbox 360 gamepad and use Win 7 x64. the devs totally dropped the ball!

What? People without proper computer skill/knowledge should not post a "fix". So it's my driver you say? Then why does it work with every other game I own? Just not MUA? Hmmm.. BRILLANT!

Interesting, my controller works just fine.

I'm using a Wired 360 Controller on Win10, only prob I have so far is Button "A" to select on some Pause Menu stuff, like when spending points in Hero Details. I have to drag the Mouse Cursor over the desired ability, THEN hit "A" on my controller. I agree, i think it is a coding issue with Mouse/Controller integration within the menu system.

To fix that I found that if you press select, you can equip items and spend skill points, then the A button should work fine when using the SHIELD access point for changing outfits, equiping items and spending skill points.

Hopefully there will be a patch to fix everyone's control issues.

This "fix" was never a fix it was a very bad workaround, and this doesnt work in this release since the folder structure is different. Also this release doesnt let remap as the old one did.

You are right, this is not a driver issue per se, but neither its that the game has bad hardcoded buttons.

The problem is the way it detects the xinput controllers, apparently, it not only reads the input from the api, but also uses something reported from the driver. Updating the driver wont do anything since, in the cumulative Windows 10 update KB3140743 the way xbox one controller behave was changed. The most recent driver for xbox one controllers, wired or wireless, behaves in a different way. Actually what some users are recommending as update the drivers, is actually to downgrade them, but it only works for the xbox one controller via wire. And i dont know about the wireless 360, since i dont own one.

The difference in the behaviour is this:

The Triggers instead of being a shared Z axis, now are Z axis and rotation Z axis.

I'll make a thread trying to explain what the issue is.

this is not a new problem, i got the original pc version and it have the same problem, this is not a renewed game or a patched game, this is the same old game as it was 10 years ago only now it is on steam. the original developers never added a patch for this game ever.
this is an 8 year topic from a another site, this is a problem from the original version, they never fixed it.
