Disclaimer
Because of a hardcoded limitation in the Windows XInput API, only up to four XInput Xbox controllers can be connected and recognized simultaneously.
For slots 5–8 you must use other controllers like DualShock/DualSense, DirectInput devices, or other non-XInput controllers.
We are sorry about this inconvenience for the players who only have Xbox controllers, but there's not really much we can do about it.
