Question

I have got both controller and keyboard configured in the Input map,

{86FBE9D0-D123-492C-8497-62FC9DC7E816}
{86FBE9D0-D123-492C-8497-62FC9DC7E816}1085×553 55.3 KB

This works, exactly as it is in single player, no problem what soever. When it comes to multiplayer, only keyboard works, but not controller. Which is weird because both are under the same Inputs.
For instance about what I am doing, so you have a better understanding:

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
	if not is_multiplayer_authority():
		return
	#print(current_state)
	if current_state:
		current_state.physics_update(delta)

This runs on state machine, and physics_update called from states. For example on Idle state:

func physics_update(_delta: float) -> void:
	if Input.is_action_pressed("move_back") or Input.is_action_pressed("move_front") or Input.is_action_pressed("move_left") or Input.is_action_pressed("move_right"):
		state_machine.changed_state("walk_run")
	if Input.is_action_pressed("crouch"):
		state_machine.changed_state("crouch")
	if Input.is_action_pressed("jump"):
		state_machine.changed_state("jump")
	player_character.move_and_slide()

This exact setup works on singleplayer, but not in multiplayer

It should work. Make sure that the window is focused or that you don’t have the ProjectSettings.input_devices/joypads/ignore_joypad_on_unfocused_application enabled.

Yeah, I found the reason why after what you told.
After what you have told, I have checked the setting and found out that it was unchecked.
So I checked it, and it didn’t work out but I highly likely think that, by doing that I also fixed some problem which maybe happened afterwards. So definitely thanks for that information.

And for the problem, after testing your idea, it clicked to test view what’s going on steam, it was steam which has preventing it. When I disabled steam initialization, it worked on ENet version, which surely means that problem is related to steam controller stuff. I guess I need some sort inputs to steam I am using maybe? After that or what I need to do, it will work on steam version also.

So thank you again!
