Remote play?

[atari]

Im trying to play via remote play but it only streams it and in the game menu it only mentions about adding a controller? Not sure if im missing something pls help.

[Herofrancy]

that's exactly what's happening to me and my friend too. Hopefully we will get an answer soon

I have the same problem, I even unlocked the goat in the game to see if it made a difference, nothing differs and I cant seem to find a way to invite through steam either

Is the only way to start a co-op by a controller? If so that sucks since me and my friend don't have one

I don't think so? the devs said people could play co op through steam remote play, they didnt specify having to use controllers

Hey! Make sure you have followed the instructions: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0689-74B8-92AC-10F2#:~:text=Open%20your%20Steam%20Overlay%20in,be%20in-game%20with%20you.

Then you should be able to add in a co-op partner in the pause menu

I don't think you'd be able to do play it without a controller from one of you. The way I remember remote play working is that you're streaming the game to your friend and they're virtually playing on your copy. That means you can't have two people using the same input as them trying to use the keyboard emulates *you* trying to use your keyboard

Kinda like how you can't have two people using the mouse because there's only one mouse on your computer that can be used at a time

Makes total sense, thank you!

We went through the process, but player 2 is unable to do anything. Even upon summoning the goat, player 2 is unable to control anything. Their inputs don't do anything.

One thing you might need to do is check your steam overlay with remote play and see what authorization that you've given your friend. Normally you can select which inputs each player is using which enables you to lock your friend out of using conflicting hardware. Such as not letting their keyboard to effect the game even if they try to use it

Sometimes though when you're using remote play the second player doesn't have any permissions so you need to give them some. Find which input that you're going to allow them to use and give them access to it. If you're going to use a controller and they're going to use the keyboard and mouse, give them access to both

We've solved it: both players have to have a controller connected, not just the one hosting the game. It's a little weird, but that's the only way we were able to get it to work.

You'll need to plug in a second controller to your computer to let you configure co-op. And even then, the only way we were able to make remote play actually work is for both players to plug in a controller to their computer.

yeah changing the permissions in the remote play settings on the overlay fixed the problem me and my friend were having :))

Update: If both players are using a keyboard, Steam seems to recognise it as the same keyboard - which is an issue universal across Steam Remote Play. However there are multiple third party workarounds that you can try until you find which works (stole this link from a player who commented somewhere on one of our posts!) https://steamcommunity.com/groups/homestream/discussions/0/1660069015241352820/

Otherwise will need a controller!

make an adequate co-op, as all developers in the world do, what was the point of making a local co-op?
