I have the same problem with split screen mode as many people on reddit and steam. And unfortunately, it seems that the problem is only getting worse with each patch. I'm running on a RTX 2060 6gb, i5-6400, with 32gb ram.
The only thing that helps is lowering the graphics settings to the very minimum, disabling v-sync and locking FPS to 30. But nevertheless, the game periodically freezes instantly. The most annoying thing is when it freezes during a quick save.
