Rules:
Remote play together and steams controller management are two separate things.
RPT creates a tunnel to make everyone appear in the same session.
For controllers, especially in Linux check that you have the correct settings enabled eg. Enable PlayStation/nintendo support vs the default Xbox emulation.
I’ve personally never had any issues with RPT and controller settings after checking the controller is setup properly in Steam.
I've played shredders revenge on my deck with 4 players via remote play together and had no issues whatsoever.
Each player was using he's own controller to play. What was your problem exactly?
You have to use the Remote play together interface to map the player controllers to the local controllers 1 through 4, but that's it.
How exactly did you start remote play together with Shredders revenge? In some games it is part of the in game invite option, for others I have tried just triggering it from the steam menu while the game is running as I didn’t see a native option. For shedders revenge when I triggered it from the menu none of the controllers appeared for mapping.
I played it while connected to my screen, I seem to recall that in desktop mode, friends window, right click a friend and start steam play together, all while the the game is running.
You game in desktop mode? I can give it a shot, but performance always seems kind of wonky in desktop mode when outputting to my TV
I sometimes connect my steam deck to a computer screen with keyboard and mouse to play, yes.
If it's specifically disabled just for steam deck, you can usually disable stuff like that by setting the launch command to be SteamDeck=0 %command%
You might also want to try this this project designed to let you do steam remote play together in any game. It has an appimage file in the release section, but without trying it out I'm not sure what steps you might have to take to get it working in game mode.
