splitscreen!

[Alfredox123]

why now i can play l4d2 on splitscreen with mouse/keyboard and controller? is there a fix for this?. im assuming you can play splitscreen with 2 controller but not with mouse/keyboard and a controller

You can play with one player mouse/keyboard and the other with controller. I have done this many times before. All you need to do is unplug and plug in the controller while the campaign is loading to get the controller to move to player slot 2. This is assuming that you are using an Xbox 360 controller as I have not tried any other controller before.

i have a xbox 360 controller but when you enable to use controller on l4d2 menu, it disable keyboard (mouse look works with first player but not the keyboard) and if i enable again the keyboard and mouse, it disables controller. so my assuming is that you can play with 2 controller but not with keyboad/mouse and controller (1st player and 2nd player respectly)

how do u use a xbox360 controller in L4D2? ive been tryin for ages!

[Macrone]

I'm not sure if I ever had the exact problem you're having, but I can assure you that you can play with the mouse/keyboard and controller combo. I play with my brother all the time. I use mouse/keyboard, and he uses Xbox 360 controller. Maybe if you try installing this mod that adds a splitscreen option to your L4D2 main menu. Even if you know how to play splitscreen without a mod, this makes things a lot easier.

@[Ɍ♕G™]Ʊlțŗămâŕίὴệ︻デ==ー Do you have a wired controller, or is it wireless? Wired is pretty simple. All you have to do is plug it in and go to options and enable the controller. If you have wireless, you'll need to buy a wireless adapter first. The cord used to charge a wireless Xbox 360 controller is only used for charging. There is no way to play on pc without the adapter first. Luckily they're only about $12 or $13 on Amazon.

here is the most recent update for that mod http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=17680 and yes i have it xD

the problem is with the option menu if i play with keyboard/mouse i cant play with controller, it just disable it. and if i put the option to play with controller, i cant play with keyboard

[Alfredox123]

and i have a wired xbox 360 controller

Ok. I want to try something here. I checked the Xbox 360 config file in L4D2 cfg folder and I found this:

unbindall // Prevent mouse/keyboard control when gamepad is in use (to prevent autoaim exploit)

Maybe if you try removing "unbindall" from that config and it won't disable keyboard use while you have the controller enabled. I must have done something that allows my keyboard to work, I just can't remember exactly.

[Alfredox123]

can you pass me your cfg for the splitscreen? please!!!! :(

[Macrone]

Sure thing! I'm in L4D2 right now and can absolutely confirm that this is still working.

Open up your config.cfg. There might be a line for this already. If not, you can add this

name2 "Name"

Or you can just type in console while in game

[Macrone]
