Using two Steam Controllers outside of Steam

Open Brachamul opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello, I have two Steam Controllers and want to use them on a game I purchased on Origin (It Takes Two). Unfortunately, the game registers both controllers are the same, instead of two different controllers. So gaming is impossible. Through my research I found out about sc-controller, and installed it on my Windows machine. It looks like I can use it to remap both controllers to different keys, but not to split the controllers so that both players can play. Is there a guide or an easy explanation for this, or is sc-controller just not the right tool ?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what do you mean by spliting the controllers. sc-controller should be able to present two steam controllers as two different controllers to game, but if game can't understand two sets of inputs, there is not much that can be done.

Maybe setting one controller to act as gamepad and map other as keys would work?

Thanks for your reply @kozec.

I ended up purchasing the game on Steam so I could use the controllers as expected.

So yes : the game is It takes two. It is supposed to handle two players and multiple sets of input.

When I launched the game using Origin (where I purchased the game initially), having plugged in the two controllers via USB (on faraway ports), they both registered as keyboard input. I tried doing the same after launching SCC but it did not change anything, and I did not no what to look for in SCC to see if the two controllers were indeed seen as two controllers rather than just keyboard button duplicates.
