Can you play with 8 players locally?

[GYMMER]

Looking forward to the answer!

This would be the deciding factor for me too.

5 days with no response?

[Manticore]

yes i've been wondering too.

I could not get more than 4 wireless xbox one controllers to work. So best I've found is 5 players if someone uses keyboard. But has anyone tried other controllers? Does multiple keyboards work?

Game does not support more than 4 controllers.
We are able to do "beta version" which will support even more than 8, but without rumble in gamepads

DraculeQ I'd appreciate this a lot!! Please let us know if you make this available, and I'll buy it

Description on store page:
"Mix couch and online coop in any way you want. You can have any number of players playing from any number of PCs across the internet (well, up to 8 total)"

If that's true it should support 8 local players!
I was thinking of using this at an event so I bought it and sure was suprised to see that it had the lame XInput cap with no option to switch to DirectInput.

PLEASE add an option to disable XInput. If you're using InControl I suggest adding an option to swtich to the Native Input Module with XInput switched off.

I've requested a refund. If the game will suport 8 local players in the future I'll probably buy it again.

...
Refund automatically denied because more than 2 weeks passed since purchase. :-P

When will the game support more than 6 controllers?

[creamyballs]

This is a huge deal breaker for me.

It is impossible that a more capable hardware can't support more than 4 players and a weaker hardware like Nintendo Switch can.

Other games on PC can support it, why can't this game? If you plan to sell more of this game, you should add that support. If not, then you just wasted your time and money making this game.

Its because Xbox native library doesnt support more than 4 controolers but it supports vibes so we chose to have vibrations instead of 8 player local play as default.

We have beta build with support more than 4 controllers. Im not sure why we dont let you know about it :/
You should choose the "beta" build in steam game properties - "8_local_players".

Tested the 8 player beta and it works with 8 XBox 360 controllers. Updated the curator review from "More Than 4 Local Multiplayer" accordingly.
