Splitscreen Co-op
I would like to play CO-op splitscreen with my brother but i do not knwo hwo to associate the controller to a second player. I play with keyboard and mouse and my brother is using my controller but I cannot figure out hw to start a game in splitscreen mode. I can only start the game with one character and the keyboard and controller control the one character.

Go to settings and set your controls to only keyboard and mouse. Once you start up any prison except the tutorial, press the x button. It will go into split screen mode

Hey BOT Zachary!

As Lupafel has already mentioned, set the controls from 'Mouse, Keyboard & Controller' to 'Mouse & Keyboard' on the 'Help & Options' screen and you will be able to use your controller as input for Player 2

Let us know how it goes! Thanks!

That's great news!

Glad to see you are enjoying split-screen with your brother and have successfully escaped Center Perks :)

Good luck with your future escapes!

Hey, when I play with one controller + mouse and keyboard it pops up randomly with a third panel? Is there a way to stop this happening?

I learned you can use 2 controllers for this game by myself.

so, i was trying to play the escapist 2 with 2 of my friends on split screen but now we have a problem. I already changed in the options from mouse, keyboard and controller to keyboard and mouse and with the first two player everything is fine, but when i join with the 2nd controller (the third player) it will eventually take over the first player.
Basically the keyboard work just fine with the 1st player but if the 2nd controller moves something it will effect also the first player

Sorry, i made copy and paste from one of my other discussion, do u have any suggestion?
