"Another Player Is Joining"

[mindmenot_]

Every time I perform any action, the game tells me "Another Player Is Joining" and the screen splits up with a character creator on the righ side. I have to click No everytime, but if a cutscene/dialog is playing, I cannot exit it.

How do I make this stop? I just want to play this game with an Xbox controller alone!

Full story:
I'm just starting this game and after the first cutscene, the character creator was in splitscreen mode. My controller controlled both of the screens and I tried in vain to disconnect from the right-side screen.
I restarted the game and went through character creation with mouse and keyboard before reconnecting my controller. But then during game play I have the issue described above.
In options I have set input mode to "Controller only" and in Session Settings > Online Visibility is set to Closed.

I have the same issue, like it's randomly decided to make me join my own game. Did you find a solution?

sounds like a bug, well time to wait for the patch that fixes that.

You likely have two controller inputs trying to gain control.

IIRC the moment another controller input is detected it auto split screens.

You gotta pick one or the other and not touch it orrr unplug the other controller input whether it’s controller or mkb

Steam input disabled?

I had this happen when my controller was somehow thinking it was 2 controllers and anytime I pressed anything it would control both.

It is now, and it worked! Anyone with the same problem, try:

* Go to the game in your library.
* Click the cog on the right-hand side, just underneath the banner
* Go to "Controller" and in the dropdown menu select "Disable Steam Input"

The problem was that I only had one controller connected. But with "Steam input" enabled, the game thought of my mouse+keyboard as a controller too, or something?? Disabling it worked however :)

Yes, read above. Hope it works for you too

Your game session is set to public, set it to private in the options, then a person needs the code to join your game.

Can confirm this worked, thanks!

Didn’t work for me. I’m on Mac. Please no hate. I just want to have a great playing experience like everyone else :)

Actually it did work! However, if you got stuck in the modal that tells you that the second player can’t join unless you rest then force quit through the Steam launcher, the game autosaves, at which point, the most recent save is at a point where the game still thinks a second player is trying to join. The fix here is to Load a previous save before this point (hopefully its not too far from when it happened) and it should do the trick. As an extra set of assurance I also, changed the multiplayer settings to “Closed” for Online Visibility and made sure LAN connections was “Off” and Direct Connection ID “On”.

Hope that helps :)

Still can't get it to work on mac. I disabled the steam input, but still I am joining my own session

Disabling Steam input worked for me, but I absolutely need Steam input in order to invert the X-axis. Closing multiplayer should prevent it from happening, but it doesn't. Frustrating.
