Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Character creating + co-op bug

I founded a bug when i started new game and i was on the character creation part and my friend joined my game.

He could move with the not yet finished (scarlett) character and he could pick up the furnice items from the ground and the best of all was that there was chest that contained a 2-handed sword for level 8 warrior and some other things

And he coulded move the camera around the map and see that it was an half-house in middle of desert or somehting.. and he see an ocean floating at air or something like that... maybe at later game there is chance to create own house / town perhaps?...

But has anyone noticed this bug?

That area is also accessible through another bug in the game at the Black Cove.

My housemate had this happen, too. She joined in the middle of me working on character creation, and got control of the other character to the one I was editing. Both characters were still displayed in character creation. Ability for me to alter character she had got was inconsistent, but I didn't document this well enough at the time. She could not customise her character, and could position it such to cause the camera for that character to be behind walls, etc, preventing proper character creation. And she was able to interact with the environment as noted by FiraSlow.

Edit: Screengrab of results from my end (cropped as there's really nothing else to see here)

Hopefully this bug will be noticed and soon fixed, it was a fun bug to find thought

I suspect this will get fixed as an added-extra with fixing people being able to join without permission

I'm guessing they currently open a port to listen for a join, then on connection immediately work out which player character is not being controlled, and hand the reins to the remote client. In adding permission requirements, they'll then be able to turn off joining under certain conditions.

Of course, ideally you might even allow your friend to take over character design for one of the characters entirely
