How to play Marvel Ultimate Alliance Games w/ Non-Steam Controllers

By KL36720

Hello ladies and gentleman. I would like to present you the instruction on how to make the Non-Steam Controllers works on both Marvel Ultimate Alliance games.

Ever since January 22, 2017 update, the Non-Steam Controller supports are added, and must require a set up on the Big Picture Mode's Controller settings to add the Controller List and set all Non-Steam Controllers works, then browse the Zoe Mode's Steam Config for MUA games. However in July 19, 2017, the controller support is suddenly off and useless caused by "Forced On" on these games' Controller Options, and those who don't have Non-Steam Controllers that have a same config pattern as Steam Controllers like Logitech 2 Cordless Rumblepad will revert. Until December 16, 2017 update that is, finally fixes everything by adding 3rd options (Global Settings (PS4/Xbox/Generics)). Here's the instructions, so follow the Red Arrows & Square Selection:

Comments

Part 1

Once the Non-Steam Controllers are Detected, enter the Big Picture Mode:

Part 2

Go to settings:

Part 3

Go to Controller Settings:

Part 4

Once you set the controllers on, Set the Non-Steam Controller Supports on, then try identify the controller to test out the controller works:

If you use a non-Steam controller you commonly use for this game, try disable the Config Supports you did not use.

Part 5

Go the your library:

Part 6

Go to Marvel Ultimate Alliance games (example, MUA1):

Part 7

Manage the Game, then go to Controller Options and set "Global Settings (PS4, Xbox, Generics)"

I repeat:

Global Settings (PS4, Xbox, Generics)

Part 8

Go to Controller Config again to re-browse the Zoe Mode's recommended Configs:

Part 9

Re-Browse Config:

Final Part

Set Zoe Mode's Recommended Config & WAZAAMM!!! Once the config is applied, the controllers are good to go to play the game now.

WARNING!!

If you set Controller Config Supports (Multiple or not), it may sometimes not working on the first try. It may only work on second/third try if you repeat from instructions Part 7 onwards
- If you don’t own some controllers you did not own, turn off the Config Support you did not use.
  - If you use 1-type of controllers related on the Global Settings, Turning on only 1 config support. It is likely that turning all config supports might possibly cause the on Global Settings & re-configure Zoe Mode’s recommended config won't work on first/second try sometimes.
If you exit/restart Steam & put your Steam Machine/PC to Shut Down or Sleep, the Controller Option will sometimes revert back to Forced On State without reconfigure the options & re-apply the recommended config on first try. If this not work on first try, try second times after reconfigure the option and re-apply the recommended config
For those whose having problem with the non-Steam controllers' pad works, you’ll have to install the “DirectX Input” related (eg: XInput 1_3 & particularly like Visual Studio), suggested by Dreadfield. As well as check your Windows Update, suggested by davidochayon.

Can't seem to make it work (Switch OLED Joy-Cons)

if I enable Steam support, game doesn't detect it even with the patch. If steam support is disabled, input buttons doesn't work

Followed every step, did not work at all

Thanks for this guide as I was literally about to give up as I couldn't get my controller to work at all and when I did find a way to do it using DS4Windows there was a strange bug that happened where pressing the start button caused co-op to activate so my controller would be playing two people at one time and it was super annoying... however this guide 100% worked for me and made my PS4 controller actually work properly so thanks!

Do you know of any way I can download this outside of Steam? I'd added Marvel Ultimate Alliance as a non steam game, so I can't access your profile through Big Picture.

Also, you shoulda linked the guide you're talkign about Wicked Wes otherwise you'll have a hard time to find it with just a name and no other context.

I use an Xbox One controller, blue tooth but wired in via usb, and your guide didn't work at all. Followed all the steps , same results. Also Big Picture Mode is a laggy piece of crap so I don't use it and never will, making it even more of a waste of my time.

This guide may work for some, mostly with the PS4/Logitech remotes but it doesn't look like it works with xbox controllers, cause I tried and the other commenters also could not get it to work.
However, anyone that still has issues, go look at the guide Marvel Ultimate Alliance Mega Troubleshooting/Fix Guide, and follow it exactly. All you do is download a little program and target it at the program, and modify the buttons that are not working correctly(all of them pretty much except B button). There step by step has pictures so it's very easily to follow and is the ONLY thing that worked for me.
and btw, the program is not like xpadder or something that you run with the game, incase that is a turn off for some. It just injects an INI file in the directory that overrides the controller issues, showing us all the the devs simply just don't give a d*mn to fix it all.

you tried as i said? leave only generic support tic on , everything else off

Dreadfield 7 May, 2018 @ 7:22am

I GOT IT TO WORK ONLY turn it on the generic gamepad support , and leaving ps4 and xbox pad support off. Over bigpicture mode controller options. With xbox 360 wired adn xbox one wired.

Thanks, but this doesn't work.

Activision is a giant pile of shit company that can't even get controllers right on a 10 year old game.
