It sends an invitation out in the usual way that they can accept and then they will themselves be in the game so to speak via arcane streaming magics. Right click on their name and you can select 'invite to remote play' or something along those lines. Launch the game on your own machine, then bring up friends list / steam overlay. It was going to be a 'just to see if it works' then move on to something else but in fact was to our surprise satisfactory enough to get a few hours game play in. So if you are interested here's how it went with EDF 5 the other evening. If you have not already in Steam - Settings there is an entry for remote play where you can tweak performance if required.īut it needs to first be enabled there, maybe the streaming option too. Originally posted by Iron Phoenix:Yeah, tried it yesterday the split screen mode works fine. If you're using a gamepad that doesn't use Xinput such as an old Logitech RumblePad 2, you'll need to use a program like x360ce and then it'll work fine, provided you configure it correctly.It's something I looked into previously for someone else playing EDF 4.1. I didn't test it myself but it may be an option.

If for some weird reason you have two keyboards and mice plugged in and no controller, I believe there is software out there to let you emulate a gamepad with a keyboard, a sort of opposite of Joy2Key.

While Player 1 can choose which of the two input methods to use, Player 2 must use a gamepad.You can use a keyboard and mouse for one player and gamepad for the other, or gamepad for both.

You can play split-screen with offline play but not online.But basically here's how it worked in 4.1: Hopefully someone with more experience can chime in if I'm wrong about something. Originally posted by Sir Duckyweather:I haven't done as much with split-screen in EDF 5 as I did with 4.1 (though admittedly I was playing solo then for double armor gains), but I assume it to be exactly the same way. I do wish steam remote play could had something to deal with two keyboards even if it would have some issues.

Since we're playing with 2 separate pc's, thousands of miles apart, please tell me again why my friend needs a controller, her keyboard is suddenly not fit for gaming purposes ? Because steam is just connecting both computers and streaming the video image to you friend, so when you friend send a key click this key click is send to you computer that then send to the game as you keyboard and the image of what happen is send back to he, it will act exactly the same as if you friend was in you side real life and clicking on you keyboard, that's why you need a controller and even then, the game would need to be coded to support two keyboard as different inputs for it to work, unless steam have some sort of a way to lie to the game that the second keyboard is a Cotroller and the player would have to keybind the keyboard based on a Controller but the game would think you are on a Controller instead and would lose all keyboard benefits for example some games change interface a bit with a controller with this way lying would be the same.
