You may have to open and close the game a few times, testing the controls each time, to determine which numbers refer to which mice and keyboards. Be aware that the ID numbers may not perfectly match up as 0's for player 1 and 1's for player 2, etc., as in this example. You may want, for instance, player 1 to have keyboard 2 and mouse 0, depending on what numbers your computer has assigned to which devices.

By default, Trine's vsync setting will run the game at 24Hz when enabled, rather than the actual refresh rate of the display. To achieve a higher vsync rate using the Steam version of the game, edit the configuration file found here:
+
{{API
−
   <your steam install folder>\steamapps\common\trine\config\options.txt
+
|direct3d versions      = 9.0c
−
adding the following line with the Display section:
+
|direct3d notes        =
−
   refresh_rate_override = <your refresh rate, e.g. 60 for 60Hz>
+
|directdraw versions    =
−
and then make the file read-only. If you do not change the file to be read-only, your settings will be overwritten when Trine launches. Note that making this file read-only will prevent any other setting changes from working, so you should perform this tweak after configuring everything else.

Issues fixed

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set refresh rate manually[citation needed]

Use the -refresh_rate_override 120 command line argument, where 120 is the screen refresh rate.

Co-op unable to detect multiple control types

Enable multiple mice and keyboards[citation needed]
  1. Open the Launcher
  2. Go to the advanced menu
  3. Make sure that you have "enable multiple mice and keyboards" checked.
Edit options.txt[citation needed]
  1. If that does not fix the problem, go to the Trine folder.
  2. Open the config folder, and then open options.txt in a text editor
  3. In that file, you should find something like this:
player1_keyboard_ID = 0
player1_mouse_ID = 0
player2_keyboard_ID = 1
player2_mouse_ID = 1
player3_keyboard_ID = 2
player3_mouse_ID = 2

Notes

You can now manually assign mice and keyboards to the correct players by changing the ID numbers. You may have to open and close the game a few times, testing the controls each time, to determine which numbers refer to which mice and keyboards. Be aware that the ID numbers may not perfectly match up as 0's for player 1 and 1's for player 2, etc., as in this example. You may want, for instance, player 1 to have keyboard 2 and mouse 0, depending on what numbers your computer has assigned to which devices.
