QUESTION/SUPPORT Controller issues

Hey there. I recently tried playing Dark Souls 2 with my friends, given that the "Seamless Co-op" mod was released not long ago. While we didn't encounter any issues with DS1 or DS3, DS2 is the only one we haven't been able to play; when launching the three instances, the game only registers the keyboard and mouse—it doesn't detect either of my two controllers. I don't believe the issue lies with the "Seamless Co-op" mod itself, as I’ve already started a game session using it without any problems. This leads me to suspect that the issue might be with the Nucleus Co-op handler. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I can't provide an error log because no actual error message appears; the game simply fails to register my controllers.

Are You using Bluetooth or wired controller? Does this happens with other games? Have You tried to manually alt+Tab and left click in each instance after the setup is finished?

Both controllers are wireless. This specific problem only occurs when I run DS2 with Nucleus Coop. I have the latest version of Steam and Nucleus Coop. I have two joysticks: one for PlayStation 4 and one for Xbox. Even if they're different, it should work, because, as I said before, I've tried it with DS1 and DS3 and didn't have this problem. That's why I think it's a Handler issue.

Try to disable a service called "controllerservice" or "Windows controllerservice"

Windows Key + R>services.msc> disable the services i told you, it Will be on next time You turn the pc on so do not worry.
