Created an account just to corroborate the issues laid out here. My wife and I have put in somewhere around 12-15 hours and in split screen the whole game just...stops. Switching characters, accessing the inventory, sometimes talking to random NPCs around the grove etc (we're still in act 1). Also agree that the summons are a major issue. Using flaming sphere is almost impossible. Very much debating cutting my losses and taking my save to PC. Maybe even asking Sony for a refund (unlikely).

To be clear, I think the game is still playable, though not up to modern standards or Larian's. I would not currently reccomend the PS5 version to anyone looking to play this game in co-op.

But Larian is very good at what they do, so I have faith they will try and address this. But am worried that there are limitations to what can be done. Hoping for some kind of communication about the issue or at least a recognition that it has issues.
