Game Crashing and Local Multiplayer issues

[Apocalypse2099]

Okay, so yesterday I invited some friends to play this game, and it gave us a headache... first of all: in the Ranger Select screen whenever the 4th player tried to join, the game crashed... We tried this a couple times... then I have an idea: what if they joined during the stage?? It worked, but then we found another problem, only 4 controllers were being able to join... I had 1 xbox 360 controller, 1 pc controller that was being recognized as xbox one wireless controller and 4 dual shocks 4... in this mix 3 dual shock 4 and the xbox one controller were able to join... so any ideas about this case??

I'm having issues connecting to multiplayer right now. I did random queue and there was 3 of us. It disconnected at first mission because of network error...

If you have not tried this already, you could disable Steam Input for this game, so the game may recognize the ds4 gamepads as Dinput controllers.
(Because there is a limit of max 4 Xinput controllers)

How are your ds4 pads connected btw? And do you use any program, like ds4Windows or reWASD or similar, or does your Windows OS detect the controllers by default?

I connected them by bluetooth, no program used

And?
Did you already disable/enable Steam Input?....

Yeah I disabled the steam inputs but I still have to test it... I have to get 5 controllers for this at least... My friends brought their controllers on that day...

[CalicoJack]

I see.
Good luck! And keep us updated!

I'm testing right now with 2 dual shock 4 controllers 2 original xbox 360 controller and a generic xbox 360 controller... If I disable steam Input, it says the game is not compatible with the dual shocks... only the xbox 360 controllers works, even the generic one... If I enable the steam input all the controller works but only 4... I seriously don't know what else I can do...

Imagine game was released tested

[CalicoJack]

I remember, with Steam Input disabled, some games didnt recognize my DS4 unless i used the usb cable.
Worth a try.

Some people also reported ds4 not getting recognized by games when ds4/playstation configuration support is enabled.
You could try with this setting globally disabled.
Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings, enable/disable "Playstation Configuration Support"


If that doesnt work i'm out of the usual ideas. Sorry....
Dinput gamepads should work in the game, according to other users in this forum. Maybe ds4 is somewhat special? lol...

I personally would use reWASD now and configure it to emulate ds5 pads.
That way the ds4 pads look like ds5 pads for Steam/games. (It could also emulate the ds4 as a keyboard)
I have reWASD though, and i'm not sure you want to buy it just for this case...
(Although it might have a for-free test time for 30 days or similar, if you want to give it a shot.)

I still wonder how (or if!) the devs test-played the game with 6 players in local coop?!...

[Apocalypse2099]

I have joytokey maybe I can try it... I only have one usb cable for the dual shock 4

[Apocalypse2099]

I finally managed to get 6 players local.. but the amount of work to make it happen doesn't pay off... for some reason only one of my dual shocks were able to work with steam inputs disabled and playstation configuration support also disabled... the one which didn't work I set some keyboard keys to it...

My setup was:
Dual shock 4 wireless
Dual shock 4 plugged on usb (used joytokey to set keyboard keys on it)
M30 8bitdo wireless
3 Xbox 360 controllers...

[Apocalypse2099]

Thank you all for the help guys... The devs must work on multiplayer and controller compatibilities because if TMNT Shredder's Revenge doesn't need all this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, this game also can make it...

Nice!



And thanks for the report.
