Local Multiplayer Kicking my Butt – I promise I've tried many tutorials / forums before posting

Hey all, having trouble getting second gamepad working with Local Multiplayer. Tried a ton of tutorials. Still no luck. Using Unreal 5.0.3, nodes, on a M1 Mac Pro. Tried 3 gamepads and same result, it only controls my first player. Each local player has their own player controller. Skip assigning gamepad to player 1 doesn’t help. If I have 1 gamepad on at start of game, it controls player 1. If I then turn on a second gamepad, it controls player 1, and the first gamepad no longer works. Feels like for some reason it’s only allowing 1 gamepad at a time, but as I’ve seen from tutorials this shouldn’t be the case.

Thanks all!

Also, if I do skip assigning gamepad to player 1, I can control player 2 with controller, but not player 1…player 1 only works with keyboard, and when logging it still shows player 2 as not having a gamepad assigned.

Did you ever resolve this issue? I’m completely stumped with exactly the same situation.
