[FIXED] Player joins as two players simultaneously

[RysultSet]

EDIT: Not a bug, just a misunderstanding.

Me and two friends just tried playing coop (tried both arcade and normal campaign). One of them and myself were playing with a Xbox 360 gamepad, while the third friend was using the keyboard.
Whenever we got in the game after a few seconds a fourth player would join, despite the fact that we had only allowed three players to join.
Weirdly enough the keyboard user was able to control the fourth player with another set of keys, however not always.
It seems like a keyboard setup with controls for two players will appear online as two players.
This made progressing rather difficult and annoying.

Hope this can be fixed in some future update.

Probably using some external Joy2Key program. Or maybe the keyboard controls are set up weird.

If you hit the fire button of the second mapping you will have two players on the keyboard, happend to me on accident as well. This is inteded for local coop.
Why doesnt it work to control him all the time then? Well because standard keyboards only can recognize ~4 button presses at the same time, and two players playing broforce is usually more then 4 buttons (2x fire 2x direction as "standard" movment, might work but additional stuff like jumping at the same time and youre getting into problems on most keyboards)

Thanks for the fast answers, will check with him if he's using a Joy2Key program asap!

To clarify: The game has a keyboard 2 layout by default, if you press T, the second player on the keyboard will join locally (this player is controled over WASD)

So two players locally can join another player online? Maybe he was pressing T by mistake.

Yes they can. Which is cool, but leads to accidents :P

How can I fix this? I have made all the keyboards using none, still I get 2 players when I wanna validate a level. I use xbox controler and it keeps making it super difficult to control 2 players at the same time (both correspond to my xbox controler) I only have 1 controler, and always have had one. :/

This is a different bug that is in the level editor only...
