Remote Play Controller 2 Not Working - Steam

Hi there,

Sorry to hear Remote Play Together stopped picking up your girlfriend's controller in Split Fiction -- rough when you're halfway through.

Here are some steps to troubleshoot:

Step 1: Reconnect the controller in the session
While Remote Play is active:  
- On her PC, unplug the controller (USB or Bluetooth).  
- Wait 5 seconds, plug it back in.  
- Test inputs immediately—USB wired tends to be more reliable.

Step 2: Enable Steam Input on both PCs**
- Right-click Split Fiction in the Steam library.  
- Properties > Controller tab.  
- Choose "Enable Steam Input for Split Fiction only."  
- Repeat on host and guest PCs, restart the game.

Step 3: Check the controller in Steam (her PC)
- Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings.  
- Confirm her controller is listed and enabled.  
- Open Big Picture Mode (top-right in Steam), test there.

Step 4: Assign via overlay (host PC)
- Start session, load game.  
- Shift+Tab for Steam Overlay.  
- Remote Play section—drag her controller to Player 2 slot (clear extras first).

Step 5: Full reset
- Unplug all other controllers/devices on both PCs.  
- Exit Steam, restart PCs if possible, relaunch everything fresh.

Please reply with the controller model and OS if needed.
