Fix 1: Using The Main Controller To Add A Guest
First things first, let’s make sure Goat Simulator 3 actually supports split screen play on Xbox. Don’t worry; it does! But sometimes, Xbox might get a bit confused and mix up the controllers, causing player one to control player two’s goat. Yikes! Fear not, as we’ve got a nifty solution for you.
- Turn on the game with only main controller connected, ensuring that the second controller is not plugged in yet.
- Once you are in the menus, plug in the second controller but do not connect any other devices.
- On the main controller, add a guest. This will switch main account to the second controller, making main controller unusable for the moment. This is expected behavior.
- Load into the game with the second controller now in charge.
- Once in the game, press the options button on the second controller. At this point, hold the X button on the main controller and sign in as the guest on the main controller when prompted.
Fix 2: Use Controllers Only
You should ensure that you are using controllers and not a mix of controllers and keyboard/mouse. This can help ensure that the Xbox recognizes the controllers properly and that the split screen mode works correctly.
Fix 3: Uninstall And Reinstall The Game
If you’re still having trouble, don’t panic. As a last resort, try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. It might sound scary, but it’s actually pretty easy.
- Open the Xbox app or game library in the Microsoft Store.
- Right-click on Goat Simulator 3.
- Select Uninstall and confirm your choice.
- Once it’s done, go to the ready-to-download list in the launcher or store, find Goat Simulator 3.
- Select the Install button.
- Sit tight while the game downloads and installs.
There you have it, folks! With these simple solutions, you’ll be tackling any split screen issues in Goat Simulator 3 on Xbox like a pro. Now, grab a friend, get those controllers ready, and prepare for an unforgettable, laughter-filled gaming experience. Happy goat simulating!
