Why?
The other controller configs shared here had some buttons mixed-up or non-functional, and there were zero solutions to address the KB&M icons and button prompts, so here's a simple "all-in-one controller mod" for you.
Downloads
Base mod:
Marc Ecko's Getting Up - Xbox controller mod v1.0[drive.google.com] – contains modified bindings; for Xbox 360 controllers and XInput wrappers
Marc Ecko's Getting Up - Xbox controller mod v1.0-alt[drive.google.com] – contains unmodified bindings; for some setups with Xbox One/Series controllers inexplicably incompatible with the regular version due to broken mappings

※ I'm not entirely sure which version you should go with if you're XInput-wrapping the controller via Steam Input (or maybe have Steam Input enabled for native XInput controllers), but probably try the alternative version first.

A must-have addendum:
Be absolutely sure to also install a fix by misticjoker! It replaces the button prompts represented using text characters (i.e. (A), (B), (X), (Y), etc, like you can see on the screenshots below) with the actual Xbox icons + it restores the OG Xbox controls screen in the settings menu as well.

DualShock version:
There are also DualShock 4 Controller Mod (ENG/RUS) by ARTONE1922 & a version for additional languages (FRE/GER/ITA/SPA/JPN/BRPT) & general addendum by misticjoker available, too, which feature the actual PlayStation glyphs during gameplay and restored PS2 controls screen from the get-go.

Installation
Simply overwrite the files in the game's directory with the ones included in the mod's archive.
※ You can locate the game's installation directory by right-clicking on the game in the Steam library, then selecting Manage -> Browse local files.
Showcase
UI button images and the controls screen:

In-game controls tips and the unlockable moves screen:
Things to note
  • Since the game has no proper XInput support, LT & RT triggers share the same axis, which means that pulling a trigger when the other one is being held will cancel both of the inputs.
    Thankfully, there are few to none gameplay scenarios when you'll actually need to hold both LT & RT. The only such situation that I can think of is... doing the Flamethrower move while trying to maintain lock-on on an enemy.

  • I've no clue how to invoke the actual button icons for the controls tips pop-ups like it's done in the console versions, so the buttons are instead represented using text characters within parentheses: (A), (B), (X), (Y), etc. Note: rectified via a fix by misticjoker.

  • This mod won't restore the DirectInput-exclusive rumble feature, you'll have to use a DirectInput-compatible controller or a wrapper (and remap the controls on your own) to get the rumble working.

  • In case you'd like to remap the controls to better suit your taste, binds_pc.cfg (regular ver. only) has been comprehensively labelled to aid with that task, and the strings.str files only require you to tweak the lines #567-574 and, optionally, lines #2002-2019.

  • This mod is also compatible with the non-Steam / physical versions of the game.

  • This very mod but without the bindings file was also reposted here. So in case you've obtained it there, all the info from this page still applies to it sans the aforementioned lack of any bundled binds_pc.cfg.
Changelog
2023-02-23: Added an alternative version bundled with unmodified bindings for anyone experiencing incorrect/bugged mappings when using the regular version.
2024-01-10: Linked the fix for this thing by misticjoker & DS4 version by ARTONE1922.
Thanks to...

if you're using different controller bindings, you can change the button prompts that show in-game by editing your language strings file in "engine\GameInfo\strings" with a text editor;

you have to search for " ###GAME SCREEN " in the string file and a little below it you'll find some " [IDS_TIP...] " , every symbol i put next to them is tied to a button so you just have to change their order.
they're different in the russian string file, and i think brazilian portuguese, but it's not a problem they should be like this:

punch ---> X
kick ---> Y
use ---> B
jump ---> A
inventory ---> RB?
reload ---> RT?
stalk ---> LT?
block ---> LB?

@MERLO!
Sorry, no idea what is up with this game (the Steam version specifically) providing different controller layouts for different people yet again...
I can only suggest double-checking whether the binds_pc.cfg file is really being overwritten by the one from this mod.
Perchance the button layout is still somehow messed up with both the "regular" and vanilla/"alt" configs, there's no way around it but to note down which button does what, grab the binds_pc.cfg config from the regular version, and fix the busted bindings on your own with a text editor.

Hi, i have got problem with these fixes.

Ive tried both "regular" and "alt" versions + misticjoker fix.

During the game, buttons which are shown on screen are not representing the actual controller button layout.

For example, "block" command is actually binded on "menu" button.

I am using Xbox ONE controller.

Thanks for any advice... :)

Great work, misticjoker! I've linked the fix in the guide along with the DualShock version now, thanks!
You can also just bundle everything with the fix to make it standalone if you'd like. ✌️

thank u so much frustated playing it on kbm

Thank you so much for this! Now I can actually replay this amazing game from my childhood! <3

Those default controls are god awful, this is definitely a game designed to be played on a controller and nothing else. :P

Also just so you know, the default mod v.1 works great with a xbox series x/s/pc wireless controller, just wanted to clarify :)

Thanks again to you and the other community members who made this mod possible :)
