Pausing with controller immediately activates Split Screen.

[Toast3y]

So, I've been playing the game on controller since the first episode was released, and I've been really enjoying it, but since yesterdays patch, when I pause the game it immediately activates a split screen mode. Inputs from the controller control both characters, and it makes the game completely unplayable.

I recently switched to a PS4 controller (emulating an Xbox 360 controller), but from what I've seen this seems to be a common problem, with no answers for people suffering from this problem. Is there an option to disable split-screen drop in, or a fix to prevent this from happening if you only have one controller plugged in?

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the software you're using to emulate a 360 controller is doing so as a second controller instead of a first, either intentionally or due to a bug.

The reason for my thinking this is what you're describing should only happen when you hit the start button on a second connected controller.

To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to disable the split-screen co-op functionality currently.

Thanks for the reply MrBMT. I had a look at what Windows was detecting, and noticably it said I had two controllers plugged in, despite only having one. I closed the software I was using (InputMapper), and, surprise, the "360 Controller" entry was removed from the list and the "Wireless Controller" entry remained.

Unfortunately, the game is not configured to this at all. Upon launching, I was a bit surprised to find my entire control scheme had changed, and when I went to play, the camera read input as if I was continuously facing up.

On the plus side, I did find the pause menu button, and pressing it didn't cause the game to force split screen now.

I'm not sure what to do now however, as I'd far prefer to keep using a PS4 controller.

DS4 controller is ordinary direct-input controller. Use x360ce for proper emulation of xinput calls. X360ce is used only for particular game, not the whole system.
Your software tries to emulate x360 controller for the whole system - creating virtual device. The game takes input from both. Just use x360ce, please, it'd fix your mapping issue and split screen issue at the same time.

Thanks for the recommendation. I tried x360ce, and while it maps the controller perfectly to the game in the same way, it still has the problem of enabling split screen when I hit pause.

I'm pretty confused, as it throws my previous understanding of the problem out the window. Only one controller is being detected by Windows, so in theory there should be no additional inputs, as InputMapper is not running.

Any ideas? I'm pretty desperate to solve this.

I had that issue, only way to avoid it was to delete x360ce since im using a usb gamepad, then i decided to configure the settings on the ini the same way as x360ce, with a bit of help of the re5 launcher, i did it and now, no issues.

My advice? if the game recognizes the gamepad you are using, try to configure it on the .ini and delete x360ce.

Thanks for the response DarkShinobu. Do you have the location of this .ini file? I can't find it in the games directory, and there is no such file in My Documents.

a solution that worked for me was to unplug the controller and replug it , it should end split screen mode

I had the same problem!
For people using a Playstation 4 controller with DS4Windows: Select "Hide DS4 Controller" in the settings menu then restart steam. It worked for me!

Mabe you have 2 xinput1_3.dll files one on resource and one on main folder
