I got local splitscreen working, by running BeamMP Server and then starting up two game instances (both through BeamMP client) via a custom handler for Nucleus Coop. Sound is coming from both instances, separate controller input and relatively good performance (although one window feels a bit more responsive than the other).
Sorry for the crappy video, kinda hard to handle two controllers separately. I'll write up a more detailed guide later this week. 😄
Software specs
- Windows 11
- BeamMP Server + Client
- Nucleus Coop
- BeamNG
- One instance on low, the other on normal settings
System specs
- 2 XBOX Series X Robot White controllers
- NVIDIA RTX 3080 10GB VRAM - 32
- 32 GB RAM
- 4K beamer
Game mechanics
It definitely feels more brittle than the regular solo game (windows loosing focus is THE HORROR) but it works well enough. Navigating through the menus is a bit of a hassle but fine.
