Setting up Remote play for 4 people?

[Dr.Drey]

Has anyone been successful in getting remote play to work with 4 separate systems?
When I only had the keyboard connected, only 2 people could join. With a controller (PS4) on my end I could get 4 characters, but only 3 people: 2 were controlled by my controller. One was controlled by anyone's Keyboard (myself and 2 others could use AWSD to move the character). One of the remote players has the Steam controller and he had independent control of one of the characters. Fourth connected player could not control any characters.
Any suggestions on how to get 4 independent systems to work is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I see you didn't mention anything about a second controller. Only 2 people can play with keyboard. You need at least 2 controllers in the lobby. The game has pre-defined controls, limiting the possibilities with a keyboard. If one of your friends buy the game, it should be possible to play without controllers.

I had a 4 player remote play together game running a few days ago. I was the only one with the game in my library.

I used an Xbox One controller.
One of my friends had a Dualshock 4 controller.
Two of my friends played on my shared keyboard.

At first my friend with the Dualshock got booted from the game directly after joining, but he quickly realized it was cause of a loose cable.

I didn't do anything special to get it working. Right clicked on all of my friends and chose "Remote play together". Once they were added to the lobby, I removed keyboard sharing from the guy with the Dualshock controller. Then tabbed into the game again and pressed A on my controller. Everyone else were able to join afterwards. Of course, the first keyboard player has to go press "Split input".

You say that two characters were controlled by your controller. Did you per chance hit split input with the character you were controlling? I'm not sure if it's even possible, but you don't need to hit split input on any other characters except for the first keyboard character to join.

Also, a side note: Make sure you have pretty good upload speeds as the host. My friends were slightly lagging, so I think I'll have one of them buy it for next time.

Hi Krull,thank you for the reply. We'll give it a shot. When you say you've removed keyboard sharing, that is done through Steam Remote Play?

Yep, once you invite someone to the remote lobby, a new window pops up in the Steam overlay with the friends you have invited. In there you can choose their voice chat volume and which inputs are shared. You don't have to change anything, but I just stopped keyboard sharing to my friend with the Dualshock controller to minimize trolling :)
