I'm noticing that Talos91 just updated the handler on 6/2/2023, but I am experiencing a failure to load the game with Nucleus Co-op.

When I click "Play", the game briefly shows for two seconds, then disappears. After that it does nothing, what can I do to fix it? I have a new copy of the game and of the handle.

I can't seem to figure out where my screenshot went, but basically, it has one gamepad and no keyboard option.

it has the gamepad, but I only have 1 gamepad and would like to play 2 player splitscreen, meaning the kb/m would need to be there.
