When using a Steam Link, the problem just extends from your main PC, so if the drivers are not properly installed there, they may not work through the Steam Link, despite being recognized and able to calibrate through the Link via big-picture - very misleading. The problem stems from not having properly installed and recognized controllers/hardware on your main rig, with proper drivers that enable correct functionality.

I searched for a solution to the issue and ran across posts with people having issues getting a second (or even first) controller to work in-game - apparently no answers and people are completely clueless, so I'm leaving this here to give at least those who own Xbox controllers some help.Ĭontrary to common sense and all rationality, (Microsoft) Xbox controllers do NOT work right out of the box - NO plug n play whatsoever - you have to manually run through a process and install the drivers in an odd, counter-intuitive way. Steam Link sees both controllers and are even recognized under the controller settings for the game, in big-picture mode. Setup my Steam Link and figured everything would work smoothly, just as it had before - the odd thing is that other games would recognize and allow the second controller to work, while this game did not. Finally got around to playing this awesome game and ran into some issues that may otherwise put people off or lead them to beleive this game does not support controllers - more than one controller, for local/couch coop (because this game does support two controllers).
