L4D2 Split Screen
charlesZ Jun 15, 2015
Hi everybody,

I would like to know if somebody managed to play L4D2 in split screen under Linux and especially with 2 controllers.

I try a lot of time using different guides like this one; split screen works, first player is controlled by controller 1 but nothing never control player 2.

I precise that I use 8 Xbox 360 controllers and the xboxdrv driver. Controllers work fine on games like Knight Squad, ClusterPuck 99, Portal 2 (2 controllers), Screen Cheat, etc. in almost every games but not all of them.

I like this game and I like multiplayer couch vs or coop and I would like to play with my girlfriend but we only have 1 computer that can handle L4D2 requirements.

Obiously, if somebody know how to play 4 players split screen it would be crazy!
