Wondering if anyone has done anything with this? Not sure if i setup the issue correctly :/

The issue is currently being investigated as it's not necessarily something that can be changed on the fly. The order of the devices is determined by the OS, and how they're enumerated, so our method of forcing a player number is not foolproof. That said, we're currently looking into a means of uniquely identifying devices to make them easier to assign. This may not solve the player number issue, but it may help with assigning specific devices to input configs.

The player number confusion occurs after the PC is restarted. Can we let player No. 2 delay 1 second to respond to the USB, and player No. 3 delay 2 seconds to respond to the USB? Perhaps this can solve the ID confusion problem.
