I solved my own issue. I originally came here searching issues but found nothing so this issue is just incase it helps someone else
Symptoms I experienced:
Could not act as player one
The XInput devices appeared as players 2 - 5
Cause appeared to be:
I had a real USB based XBox controller that was off but the dongle was still registering as Player One. I just had to unplug the dongle. From this experience I understand where past issues may have been related to other Gamepads preset BEFORE XInput makes its overrides.
Anyways I've included the keywords I searched for in this issue report. Hope it may help someone else.
