How to rebind keys in Lego Avengers

The problem is that the game doesn’t create a certain file that is supposed to store information about the control configuration. The solution is easy – place another file where this one should be.
  • Find the Mappings.dat file from Lego Marvel’s Super Heroes. It will be in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO MARVEL’s Superheroes
  • Copy and paste it into the Lego Avengers directory – C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO MARVEL’s Avengers
Once this is done, go into the game and configure the controls. It will remember your choice this time, and you’ll be able to play it the way you like it.

    I can’t find ”Mappings.dat”. I think it’s because in the directory of the game there are other files “.dat” called “GAME”, “GAME0”, “GAME1″… I believe that the control settings are in those files, but they’re about 700MB each and I can’t open them to change the information…

      It shouldn’t be missing! It might be hidden. Check again with “Show Hidden folders” checked & search in C drive going to Users. Then open the folder with your user name. AppData has to be there.

    the File is in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO MARVEL’s Avengers (or another old game lego
    you have, I guess) I find it in Old Lego game called Marvel SuperHeroes, automatic takes the costum configuration you have in old lego game and you
    can change it too…

    Alright, folks, check this. I searched for the “Mappings.dat” file in my computer and I found it, it was here: C:\Users\Dániel\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Jurassic World. I copied the file into this folder: C:\Users\Dániel\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO MARVEL’s Avengers. This is all I’ve done, and it works. For me, at least, but you may want to give it a try. I am just assuming that it works with every LEGO game, so it might not matter if you copy the file from Super Heroes, or whatever. For me, it worked with Jurassic World.

        Hey, it’s written that you have to get the Mappings.dat file from Lego Marvel Superheroes! I’ve done it & they’ve replicated my control schemes from that same to same! The controls are directly same actually. So what you should do is try the Lego Marvel Superheroes mapping file if you have it. If you don’t, you should get the file at least, it’s a small file.

    Where do you find that file “Mappings.dat”?
    I don’t know where this file is.
