Xbox 360 controller not working for multiplayer.
Xbox 360 controller not working for multiplayer.
Basically, I have a friend with an Xbox controller, and I want to be able to play the game with him, but the game does not set the controller to player 2. This means that when the controller is plugged in (and there is a second player controlled rabbit), both people control player 1 and nobody controls player 2.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I use windows 7 and also use SUMLauncher

Is the second character in the map set to be a playable character? It needs to have the green box around it. If not doubleclick the character and press ctrl+P.

Your computer is detecting something else as a controller first. This might be a joystick, racing wheel, flight sim, joystick emulator, or something like that. Overgrowth assigns the first controller it sees to player 2, then everything else to player 1. Disconnect any other alternate controllers you have connected, and try again, it should work.

It doesn't have to be an official hardware controller, it can even be software emulation, or any USB device that the computer recognizes as a device other than a mouse, but this is almost always the case. Check for other joystick software, did you install anything else to get the controller working in the first place?Antarus wrote:I don't have any other controllers connected, ever.Anton wrote:Your computer is detecting something else as a controller first.

I did have to do the normal, automatic installation for the controller.Anton wrote:It doesn't have to be an official hardware controller, it can even be software emulation, or any USB device that the computer recognizes as a device other than a mouse, but this is almost always the case.

The only thing other than my mouse and keyboard which is plugged in via USB is my headset. I think I've already tried unplugging it, but I'm not 100% sure.

i used to have the same problem. You have to download a thing that tracks your controller. if you have done that and i still doesn't work, you have to plug in the controller BEFORE you start the game.

Do you perhaps have a link or download for the controller tracker?
