Show the second controller's configuration when you're holding a button in the GC pad section.

Image shows the 2nd controller in config. The A, Z buttons pushed and Left analog stick is being moved to the left. Hope this helps

Okay, Thank you, I'm assuming Xinput 0 is the first controller? Try checking "Background Input" and trying to play the game.

Yes the first controller is Xinput 0, I have tried checking background input and just did again. Nothing has changed. Just to ease your mind, Here is an image of Xinput 0 which i also pressed the same buttons on the first controller as i did the 2nd while i took this image.

The only thing I could see causing problems would be if under the Options/Configure Section, going to the GC section only had one controller set to active. That's literally all I can think of that would cause this. I have used multiple Xbox 360 controllers on Windows via the wireless adapter, and I know that it works. If you were using the latest revisions or something, maybe it could have been a regression or something, but this doesn't make any sense.

These are Wired but I do not see why that would mean anything different. Also see attached showing both are set to Standard controller. Both sets are identical in config and options.

I wonder if it's an xinput bug vs dinput; I really have no idea at this point; none of the adapters I have left are xinput.

This is entirely irrelevant to the actual issue, but you should increase the dead zone on those sticks – otherwise you'll find your in-game characters slowly walking in some direction or your camera slowly drifting whenever you let go of a stick. I'd start at 10 and increase it until you can push the stick in any direction, let it go back to neutral, and not have a red dot in the box that shows the stick input.

Thank you, I will adjust accordingly. I hadn't noticed cause I haven't played yet because of this issue lol.

Do you have cheats enabled? You'd be surprised how many mysterious controller issues have been solved by turning cheats off. Give it a try.

Cheat have not been enabled, thank you for the suggestion though.

UPDATE: I have tried on a second PC with a different graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 600 series laptop) and am having the same problem.

For future information, the only things I have changed from the original settings(besides controller config and 2nd port set to "standard controller") are the audio and graphics. I have set both to the lowest requirement(the first option in each drop down bar).

Do you happen to have the custom Xbox 360 drivers controller drivers or something?

No they are direct from Microsoft. Also, the second PC I tried this on auto downloaded when I plugged them in, and the first I manually downloaded from Microsoft. There is no change.

Well let's do some experimenting. Try 3.5 and the latest dev build (4.0-3106 as of this writing) and see if they work.

And if you have a PC game laying around that works with two players, try that too.

Okay, just to make sure; this is two xinput devices, right? I didn't use them as dinput devices or anything.

I will be working until this evening, when I get off I will try the earlier version and the dev build.

Yes, both devices are xinput.

I will also create a post in the forums this evening. (Assuming the 2 other versions do not work.
