Multiple Xbox Controllers on PC result in multiple slate users

On PC, it would seem that plugging in more than one Game Controller results in multiple slate users being created, controllers beyond the first one will see a lot of their inputs dropped.

For a singleplayer title where we only ever there to be one player but want to support the player plugging in multiple controllers, can we have the same behaviour as we’d have on some consoles where the main player player gets assgined multiple controllers?

Hi,

We added an Input Device Mapping Policy for desktop targets in 5.6, one of the options there will map all gamepads to the primary users. If you need to backport that change, take a look at CL#36448691. With that change, you should be able to set input.DeviceMappingPolicy to 3 to get the result you’re looking for. Let us know if you run into any issues!

Best,

Cody
