question for anyone that plays steam remote play for the co-op. my girlfriend and I play that way and whenever we have to load back our previous save we get stuck in this part(screenshots) and we couldn't get her to "bind" or "press any key" when it happens; also, the icon that appears seems to be a keyboard instead of the controller. I use the keyboard and she uses the controller.

any work around for this? or is this normal at the moment? what we end up doing is we opt to just "deleting" the character and inviting her again. she just finds it a bit annoying coz she has to edit her appearance again.

I have a similar issue with in person co-op. I play keyboard and my kid plays controller (Xbox dupe). It won’t bind the controller when we go back into a saved game. In fact, when we tried earlier this week, it was somehow flipping me to controller and her to keyboard. We’ve been deleting her character as well as a workaround.

So a potential theory:

When you press the "+" button to bind a controller, whatever input you use to press the plus button will be reserved for player 1, and it will only display the other options for the secondary players. Are you using the controller to press the + button?

#

If so, try using the keyboard to press the plus button.

Hi, I've tried this fix. It works halfway. If I use the keyboard to press the plus it does assign the controller to player 2. However, player 2 loses their physical customization. (And it's a lot of scrolling to get that back, my child's character is all pink 🤣 ). If I bind player 2 to the controller, they don't lose their appearance. I sent a save file through the game if that would be helpful. Thanks!

Hm, Physical customisation is tied to the device type. Are they using the exact same controller they used last time ?
