mutiplayer

Game looks great so far but cant seem to get the local muiltplayer working is there something I'm missing. we are using key board and controller but wont let us use both?

[fuglesang]

Hey. I'll have a look to make sure it does. Can I ask which controller you are using?

[fuglesang]

Keyboard + controller does not work for me either anylonger. I couldn't find any simple workaround so for now I think you need two controllers. I will take a look to fix it fast since not everyone has two controllers.

Thanks, I'm having the same issue. Using DS4 controller and DS4 windows. Keyboard controls character properly, but the controller controls both.

we had to dig out another controller for now good luck getting keyboard and one controller working. We were using xbox one controllers.

Hi! Also having the issue where we cannot play with controller (XBOX) and keyboard. We don't have a second controller to use so the game is unplayable for us right now until it is fixed :(
It is very disappointing that we cannot play it

[fuglesang]

We have a beta build with a hotfix for you guys. It should let you play using only keyboard (WASD+Arrow keys) and with keyboard+controller combo.

Be aware that the changes have not been tested much so issues might still occur. For instance, connecting and disconnecting controllers after selecting characters may not work as expected and you may have to restart the game to reset.

Hope the hotfix works for you, and we will improve it more and eventually move the fixes out of beta.

To access the beta build follow these steps:

1. Right click on the game in your Library
   
2. Press "Properties"
   
3. Select the "Betas" tab
   
4. In the dropdown list, select the branch named "Public Beta"
   
5. Close the window
   
6. The game should now have a pending update (restart Steam to force)

You should now see "[publicbeta]" next to the name of the game in your Library.
To change back, you follow the same steps but select "None" in the dropdown list.

Hejsa! :)

I have the same issue - although no beta builds are available for me - i can only choose "NONE". Is there a beta access key you can share?

Thanks.

EDIT: Weird - restarted steam and I could find it :)

[grodgo1]

Yay! We can play! :)

we can play together, but only for 2 minutes, because the game cant decide which device (keyboard or controller) is allowed to jump, so i cant get over the second rock with the ice guy. hope youll fix this soon

[fuglesang]

@Becci with both keyboard and controller plugged in, you can try the exact steps that I gave in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/809880/discussions/1/2533741983665883534/

After entering the game, Ember should be the controller while Rime uses the arrow keys on the keyboard. Please note which keys Rime uses on the keyboard.

And if this doesn't work, you can try using only the keyboard (remove the controller from your PC) with the same instructions.

Hope you can get it working with one of these suggestions.

Thanks for your fast support beforehand; but just as a small hint:
maybe patching in the public beta as a fixed version would´ve been the best way to do; remember the old game "clonk planet"? it also worked with up to 4 people on one keyboard. messi, but worked.
maybe just integrate this in the full game, rather than controller+ keyboard because most times this just wont work on non-steam/xbox controllers :) im using e.g. a speedlink one, which always fails too work with steam itself, even with the steam big picture options

edit: non steam games, like uplay-based or origin-based do work with this one

[Tamisoft]

well beta is not working very well either. Numpad 8 turns on noclip. And jumping works always on one character. I hope for a fix

[Hephaestos]

Adding to this: I'm *only* interested in the local co-op with this game, but it seems to not work at all (publicbeta). We're using a Xbox360 controller with keyboard. The controller seems to work alright, but the keyboard only accepts partial keys, and when fooling around, trying to find more working keys, we somehow managed to disable gravity in-game.

Is the local co-op considered beta/unfinished?

[fuglesang]

Update: We're currently working on getting out a patch to fix this issue. The game will properly work with only keyboard, keyboard+controller and controller+controller on PC. Expected release of the patch is sometime next week. I will update this thread if the ETA changes.

[Becci]

hello fuglesang,
i cant await the release of the new update, but also wanted to tell you a bug i found when i tried playing with my gf. I have a laptop, and it has a numpad, but no ctrl right button, so i am still not able to jump. When i tried the other buttons of the numpad, the game somehow glitched and we were able to fly and walk through the walls with no unit-collision at all. It looke funny, but i guess thats not how this game is supposed to work.
grettings :)
