Remote play

[degurechaff]

Need help with remote play not working properly. I tried to remote play with a friend and he has no control? I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

This is because of the sonic adventure 2 launcher.
If you are both using controllers, the host must have 2 controllers plugged into their computer.

After that, the host must set both control devices in the launcher to "controller". You would not be able to set both devices to controller without having 2 controllers plugged into the host computer.

It is an annoying quirk I had to work around. This is because of the launcher asking you to select input types before starting the actual game. However, when both devices are set as controller, it should take the clients (2nd players) input just fine.

Nope. I'm using a controller and he's using a keyboard.

I know these can seem like tech support answers however I want to cover all bases.

1) because all buttons for keyboard are color coded, make sure your friend knows what each prompts means

2) make sure the 2nd player control device is keyboard

3) make sure that you do not have controls restricted on remote play.

That is all I can say atm as I am not home to experiment with it.

[degurechaff]

yeah, i've done all that. still no results.

Ok, I will experiment with it when I get home and let you know. Sorry I cannot help more.

I'm gonna necro this thread for the lovely folk reading in the future - if the other person is using a controller, have a controller set to that port in the setup.
Then, after they connect, in the bottom-left of the Remote Play window (where it has your profile, then the other person's profile underneath) there should be at least 3 controllers out of 4 highlighted.
Drag the other person's controller (most likely in the third slot) into the second slot, and presto! It should work! :>
