It takes two - How to play co op on PC?

Hi team!

We have bought the full version of it takes two via steam/origin and installed it on our laptop. Technical requirements of the computer are fulfilled. 

When I want to start playing local, I get the picture of the girl sitting at the table with her breakfast and underneath the titles

"Start Spieler 1" and "Start Spieler 2" (we live in Germany) and yet underneath the two buttons saying "A /*pictogram of Enter-button*"

So, I read, that we could play with two local players on one PC using one keyboard. All I can do now is sign up as player 1 (then it show's my origin-name) by hitting enter or left click. That's as far as I've got into this game after two days of trying. I have no possibility to enter a player two and (imho) no hint whatsoever, how to do so. I also can't find anything helpful in the options/settings. 

What I've tried without success:

  • Connect second monitor
  • Connect mouse
  • Connect keyboard
  • Connect game controller (Nintendo switch pro, once via cable onc via Bluetooth)
  • Create a second origin account to try to add a friend
  • Even let my brother-in-law try

This is getting pretty frustrating for me and especially my son, who spent the 40 €  

Could someone please explain, what we're doing wrong or even better how to do it right 😉 we really would like to play!

Thanks to you guys in advance

    Hi Forum

    Just to let you know, that the problem is solved. 

    Leanings:

    • It takes two can't be played with only one keyboard of the same computer. At least one controller is needed. 
    • Switch pro controllers can in fact be used, they are supported by steam (as well as PS4, 5 and Xbox) - it took for me to find the settings
    • It takes two is a really cool game

    Thanks again @Zeelmaekers for your prompt and practical help, good guy!

    Case closed. 

    Happy Easter to all, don't lose hope!

    Not sure if origin supports a Nintendo controller.
    If you connect a PS4 or Xbox controller via USB that should work for sure. (tested this myself)

    @Zeelmaekers Hi! Thanks Zeelmaekers, but do I need a controller at all? I read it's possible to play simply two players on one keyboard...

    Just tested this and I think you need a controller for the second player.

    Thanks for your support @Zeelmaekers!

    Still it's a bit frustrating, not to have known before buying...
    If there's anyone else with input on the topic, how to get going without spending even more on a new controller (that I will probably only use for this game)...I'd be happy to know.
    Stay safe!

    Hey Wumpelkumpel,

    hab genau das selbe Problem. mein Pc und Steam erkennen beide switch controller aber das Spiel leider nicht, es erkennt nur einen. Ich hab das Spiel über Origins gekauft aber mit der Steam Bibliothek verbunden. Hast du eventuell nen Tipp wie du dein Problem gelöst hast ?

    hello I have a similar problem: I want to play offline mode with my friends on the same computer with two xbox controllers, but I can't choose player 2, either controller or keyboard can only select player1 with a pattern of the keyboard and mouse.My controllers are effective in steam and other games, so I really don't know what to do, one of my controllers is wired and the other is bluetooth, maybe it could be a problem? It would be a great appreciation if I can get your reply.
