Controller for player 1 constantly activates player 2.

[GAEvakYD]

My son is playing Lego games on the PC with a Microsoft controller as main device. But he got stuck in the game because when he uses the X,B,A buttons constantly enables player 2. We finally found how to stop player 2 (Just pause using the second player (by pressing enter on the num-pad by default) and one of the menu choices should be "drop out", select it).

But when he walks and want to do something and pushes a button, directly player 2 is activated again. Anyone got an solution for this?

hmm, not sure. I played it but it happened to me so I just restarted the stupid console. Try that

Thanks for your reply, but we are playing on a pc. We tried several LEGO games and all games looks like the same problem on our PC+Gamepad combination.

There is no problem when my son is playing with a keyboard for player 1. Then the actions buttons did not activate player 2. The most strangest thing is when changing to a Controller, the action buttons directly activates player 2.

Can't promise it'll help, but here's a few ideas.

1. Make sure the controller is powered on and recognized/connected to the computer BEFORE opening the game in any way. Also make sure you do not touch the mouse or keyboard in any way after clicking the play button.
2. If there is any other controller connected or remembered by your computer, delete it, so that the controller you're using is the only one your computer knows.
3. You could also try completely removing the controller from your computer, then connecting it again, which could hopefully reset some bugged setting.
4. Shift-tab then click on the Steam controller settings, there could be something helpful in that section.

If you're having a controller automatically go to player 2, use the KB+M to go into the Options > Controller Setup, and there should be an option to "Change Device."

The keyboard and mouse are the parent controller format, meaning as soon as you use either of them, then the control scheme will change to KB+M. It's really annoying, but it's an artifact of the Lego Engine Traveler's Tales have been using for years.

the solution is very simple, you start steam, turn off your wireless keyboard turn on your controller then start the game, problem solved
