If you're having issues with controller/keyboard-player assignment, you might be able to fix these issues with the "Assign Controllers" setting. To get to this setting, open the "Controls" menu by either pausing the game or going to the main menu.
Once in the "Controls" menu, press the button shown on the bottom left of the screen to "Assign Controllers". Once in the "Assign Controllers" menu, use the directional buttons on your keyboard and controller to assign them to different players. Once you've done this, you should be able to use the keyboard and controller to control different players

I'm sorry if I this has been asked before but does my friend have to own the game for online co-op? Or is it as simple as just sending an invite to them?

this still doesn't work for me and my friend using remote play, when we start a co-op game together it shows my username next to a character and says 'invite friend' on the right, but there doesn't seem to be any buttons we can press to get further than that

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. Could you provide any additional information? What devices are the host and client trying to use? (Example: Host is using keyboard, and client is using a controller).

no problem, glad you replied all the same. I'm on keyboard, I launch to the main menu, then invite my friend who is on a controller. (I'm pretty sure it's an xbox controller but I'll double check) we tried changing the keyboard and controller to different players on both steam remote play and in the game settings, but all that means is they can also control the menu settings like I can, it doesn't register a second player, so if we try to start a co-op save, it's just like single player, but two people control the one character

It sounds like you are using the in-game Online Multiplayer menus to play remote play. That menu is for two people who own the game to play online multiplayer without using remote play.

To use remote play, launch the game and invite your friend with steam remote play. The host needs to load a save (or start a new game) as if they were playing single player (Do not go into any Online Multiplayer menus). Once the game has started, the second player can press A on their controller to spawn in a new character. If you look at the top left corner of the screen there should be some text that says "2P Press A" or something like that. If this still doesn't work, something is wrong either in the steam remote play settings, or the in0game Controls>Assign Controllers setting. First try the in-game control assignment menu and make sure only the keyboard is assigned to player 1 and all other devices are unassigned or on player 2. If that doesn't work, double check the remote play settings.

Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions.
