DreamWorks Shrek 2 Remastered: How to Play 3 People Trough Remote Play Together?

What you need to know

Playing with three people through Remote Play Together can lead to controller assignment issues where multiple guests control the same character slot. While there is no confirmed fix for this behavior yet, players have shared workarounds to get extra controllers recognized. The general approach involves switching the host game to use its built-in XInput backend while bypassing the incompatible GameInput window handler.

Step by step

1. Verify that Steam already shows separate controller slots for your friends before launching the game session.
2. Switch the host game to run on its built-in XInput backend to address issues where extra controllers are ignored or stop responding after initial inputs.
3. Skip the incompatible GameInput-specific window handler during setup to help align the connected gamepads with individual player slots.

Tips

• Expect varying results since this symptom differs from standard single-slot hijacking, meaning the same causes and workarounds may require adjustment.
• Ensure all participating friends test their gamepad connections immediately upon starting the Remote Play Together session to confirm separate input registration.
