8-player mode not working

[Kak0]

Hi everyone!

The game doesn't detect more than 4 controllers, even though the "Allow 8 local players" option is "On" in the settings menu. I know the problem doesn't come from the controllers, because other games, including the first Knight Squad, did't have any problem.

I suspect that the 1.0.5 update (October 6th) somehow broke this, I played the game two weeks before the update and didn't have that problem.

Can confirm, same Problem here.

same issue here all 5 controllers detected by steam but not by Knight Squad

Can confirm, the latest update broke the controllers detection and now you can't connect more than 4 controllers.

Hey there folks!

Sorry about this, I just had a look at this and tried to do a quick fix for this. I've set the fix live on the "fix_local_8_players" beta branch as I haven't had time to test it out thoroughly yet (have to run by the office to get more controllers).

If for some reason the fix on that branch doesn't fix the issue for you, let me know, I'll fix it another way!

Cheers!

Hi, just testet the beta with 4 Xbox 360 and 4 Xbox One controllers, but seems not to work. Only 4 Players can join the game. Working fine in other games incl. Knight Squad (one).

Beta works for me with 5 Xbox One Controllers.

Did you make sure the "Allow 8 Local Players" option was "On"?

Hi! I thought I did! But after re-installing the beta and checking 8 players are allowed, it's now working for me eitther! Yeah! Thanks a lot! =D

Been troubleshooting and cannot get the game to recognize more than 4 controllers. Win 10, sees 5, and the game will allow me to add a fifth player controlled by the keyboard mouse, but not additional controllers. Tried using several different controller brands/types, but nothing worked, tried editing steam settings and that wouldn't do it either.
Edit: switched to the 8-player beta and that seems to work (at least for the Xbox controllers).

Just a nudge that you might want to merge that fix into the game's main branch by now. Works great!

[Rabouk]

Confirming this only worked for me after I enabled the 8 player fix beta. Should be pinned. :)

Fix still hasn't been merged to the main branch

[GossamerSolid]

I've sent an email to the company to request it be merged into the master branch.

Hopefully they read it.

[Sawtaytoes]

I hope so too! That way I can always make sure I'm on the latest update.

Even still, they can remove the branch we're on anytime and put us on master when it's merged, so we shouldn't miss out on future patches.

They never responded to my email, so either the company doesn't exist anymore or they have non-existent support.
