I want to help you with any issues you experience with this mod, but there is some information I might need first -- and some questions you may have that I can answer in advance.
Before telling me about a bug, please double-check that you're on the latest version of the mod, and please check the locked bug tracker to see if I've already confirmed your bug on my end. (I also tend to update entries in the bug tracker to note when a fix is ready and slated for release as part of the next update.) If you decide to provide a load order, please put it in a spoiler tag if possible, or host it on Pastebin or a similar site otherwise. After commenting about a bug, please click the "TRACK" button in the mod header, to make sure you're notified about any updates that have been released.

Issues with Xbox controller support
If your PlayStation controller does not work with NorthernUI, it is because NorthernUI relies on Windows's XInput API to react to controller input. PlayStation controllers aren't compatible with XInput out of the box; you will need to use software like DS4Windows to bridge the gap.
You may notice that hotkeys don't work with a controller. This is because I wasn't able to fully decode how Bethesda implemented hotkeys during the time I actively maintained NorthernUI. A few other mod authors have come up with their own solutions; here's one.
If you can't move, but all other inputs work both in and out of menus, then double-check Oblivion's INI settings. Make sure that fJoystickMoveLRMult and fJoystickMoveFBMult are both set to 1. These options scale your movement with the joystick, and I've had users who had them set to 0 for some reason.
If your movement tends to abruptly slow down when running in some or all directions, it may be due to hardware variation or defects in your Xbox controller. Some controllers can't reliably register 100% joystick tilt in all directions; some can't register it in any directions. This can cause problems with Oblivion's movement system, which was designed around PC play. Oblivion scales your movement speed by your joystick tilt, but it also switches between two base movement speeds ("walking" and "running") based on your joystick tilt; if your joystick tilt can't reach 92% or more, then you can't run. NorthernUI offers an input viewer that can be used to diagnose this problem, and a run sensitivity option that can be used to work around it.
If you're using the Skyrim theme, then you should be able to access a settings menu with an option to enable the "HUD Input Viewer." Otherwise, you'll have to manually edit the settings file at Data/OBSE/Plugins/NorthernUI.ini, to change the bShowHUDInputViewer setting in the Features category to TRUE. After changing this setting and restarting the game (if it was still open), you should see an input viewer along the bottom of the screen during play. This viewer shows the exact state of both your joysticks, with three numbers: one for the X-axis value, one for the Y-axis value, and a number at the center for the overall joystick tilt (the distance from the center of the stick). Try running in different directions, with the joystick tilted as far as possible, and see what the lowest value you register is. A properly functioning joystick at a perfect diagonal tilt should register (+/-)70 for the X- and Y-axis values, and 100 for the magnitude.
If it is indeed the case that your movement can't reach 92% or more in some directions, then you'll want to lower the run sensitivity. This setting controls the joystick tilt percentage at which your character switches from walking speed to running speed. Lowering it means that you'll start running sooner, pretty much. If you're using the Skyrim theme, this setting should also be in the in-game menus, but if it isn't, then you can edit the settings file at Documents/My Games/Oblivion/NorthernUI.ctrl.txt. You'll want to change the iSensitivityRun setting.
The game is still using vanilla menus
Issues using NorthernUI's gamepad support with other UI mods
If the gamepad behaves strangely in menus when using DarNified UI, it will be because of incorrect keyboard navigation code in DarNified UI. There are cases where DarN mistakenly coded some menu items to treat the "down" arrow key as "I have been clicked on" rather than as "move to the thing below me," for example. Bethesda designed the UI so that the gamepad would use the same code as keyboard navigation, so these mistakes will affect gamepad navigation. I cannot create compatibility patches or fixes for any mods that make this mistake and have closed permissions.
I may look into incompatibilities with small(ish) UI mods (and mods that alter UI controls for gameplay reasons), but strictly on a "no guarantees" basis. These will also come second to bugfixes and feature improvements for NorthernUI itself. Feel perfectly free to report any conflicts between NorthernUI and your favourite widgets, tweaks, and extensions, but please don't get impatient. (Also, linking to the mod(s) in question will help me find them faster!)
(Edit) Fixed it, forgot I had to run the game through the regular launcher and not the Exe.
i re-installed the UI but it stays the same
i'm using MO2 2.5.2
