Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add a SideScroller Controls device to the level.
  2. Change the following settings:
  • Lock Direction While Aiming = ON

  • Targeting Lock On = Never
  1. Upload the project to a Private or Public version.
  2. Start a match and join the match in progress with another player.

Expected Result

When joining a match in progress, the player should only be able to move horizontally and jump, without being able to move along the Left axis (depth).

Observed Result

Sometimes, players who join a match in progress can also move along the Left axis (depth).

Additional Notes

I also tried to force the SideScroller Controls device to apply its controls to the JIP player by calling its AddTo method in Verse from the Playspace.PlayerAddedEvent handler, but the issue still occurs.
