Connection types

Issues unresolved

Crash at launch

Following fixes seems to work in some cases, but may not fix the crashing issue.
Play with both Steam and Uplay online[citation needed]
Start game as administration[citation needed]
Play either windowed or borderless windowed[citation needed]

Second controller doesn't work

March 11, 2016 update fixed the controllers working in multiplayer, however it introduced another bug where playing multiplayer makes first player to control both first and second player.
It's possible to use specific workaround if first player is playing with keyboard.

Issues fixed

Controller constantly moving to right/left

This issue seems to be specific to Unity engine and Xbox One Controller under Windows 10.[5] As game doesn't feature button rebinding, currently only workaround is by installing older version of the driver.
Install older driver[6]
  • Download and install older version of Xbox One controller drivers. 32-bit or 64-bit.

Notes

This is not advisable as it may break other games compatibility with the controller, which requires updating driver to latest version.

Crash when starting certain modes

Start and quit Marathon mode before playing other modes[3][7]
Play with both Steam and Uplay offline[citation needed]
