It sounds like the second gamepad is causing the inputs to stay stuck on Mac, so hopefully Epic can fix this soon.

Yes, in fact another user has already submitted a pull request with a fix HERE. I hope that Epic accepts it and we get a patch soon. :crossed_fingers: In the meantime, local coop games on Apple platforms are impossible in 5.8.

yeah, local multiplayer on Mac & iOS are effectively broken right now, please fix soon!
