Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection PlayStation Controllers Issues

If your PlayStation controllers, either the DualShock 4 or DualSense aren’t working properly in Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection, especially with the d-pad not working, you need to enable Steam Input.

  • Make sure that Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection isn’t running
  • Open Steam and navigate to your library
  • Here, right-click on Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection and select Properties
  • In the Controller tab, select the Enable Steam Input option under Override for Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection

This will fix the d-pad and bumpers issue while you’re using the PlayStation controller.

Enable PlayStation Button Prompts

Additionally, if you want to enable the PlayStation button prompts in the Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection, you’ll need to make a small edit in the configuration file.

  • First, head over to where Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection is installed
  • Here, open the config.ini file using a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++
  • Now, set the value of ButtonPrompt to PS4, as shown below:
