I am having a problem where I play a multiplayer game in-editor with 2 players, first one loads up fine, and can move camera around (haven’t correctly setup movement yet) but when the second player loads up, the first one loses all input. Why is this happening? If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!

(Also, if this helps, I copied over everything in Project/Content folder in one of my other projects into this project (That one was multiplayer as well)

EDIT: Just found out that the one that loses input is the one I don’t take control of at the start. For example, if I click the second player’s window, he works fine, but the first player won’t, and vice versa. Just more info that i think could help!

Play in editor does this. I’m not sure why, but it seems the engine in PIE can’t differentiate which player should be in control. If you try playing in standalone it shouldn’t do this, unless you are having a possession issue.

yes, is does work, but this never used to happen, could it be that i copied everything in another projects content folder into this project? because every actor i made bugged and i had to delete it
