Wait for READY
Let every client finish loading. Do not press A until the pairing window says READY. The status sits on top of the game windows while it waits.
Protected pairing
Pair every character without them mirroring each other.
MultiPilot does one client and one player at a time, waits for each character to enter the game, then checks that they move independently before handing control back.
The controller screen
See it before you launch.
This is where you confirm the pad, create the player links and watch each character pair.
Leave Steam on its default
If a client runs through Steam, open Path of Exile 2 Properties, then Controller, and choose Use default settings. Not Disable Steam Input.
Pair Client 1 only when prompted
In 4P–6P, the first isolated A press pairs P1 and the second pairs P2 after Client 1 passes its foreground gate. In 3P and split 2P, Client 1 pairs P1 only.
Confirm Client 1 characters
Use P1 focus to choose the first character. In 4P–6P, switch Smart Focus to P2 and confirm the second character so both Client 1 characters enter the game.
Pair and enter Client 2
MultiPilot moves to Client 2 only after Client 1 is ready. Pair P3 then P4 for 3P–6P, or P2 for split 2P, and confirm each character through the displayed focus prompts.
Pair Client 3 for 5P or 6P
After Client 2 is ready, 5P pairs P5 and keeps P6 disconnected; 6P pairs P5 then P6. Confirm each character only when its Client 3 prompt is visible.
It hands control back to P1
Once the last client is in the game and the checks pass, focus returns to your first character and you take over.
Pass the movement check
Move the character it asks you to and confirm nothing else moves. If Client 1 fails, MultiPilot opens the illustrated Steam guide and offers to retry or stop safely.
Keep the guide available
The pairing tutorial appears on game relaunch by default. After completing it once, choose a 24-hour reminder pause or disable reminders until you want the guide again.
