I have to say I am pretty disappointed. I have faith that Larion will address these issues and based on what I've come to understand their past games have done the couch co op correctly so I will not seek a refund. I bought another copy of this game for PS5 and a new PS5 controller specifically to play couch co op with my fiance and within minutes we experienced the camera bug. I was a bit perplexed as to why I felt like the forced split screen was terrible but after reading everyone's comments it appears I'm not crazy and it actually is simply terrible.
Please Larion, fix these problems I beg you. It took great courage to convince my fiance we could play a game together. It's very rare that I am able to motivate her to try a game with me, only to fall flat on my face with immediate game breaking bugs that require tedious fixes. I don't even currently have a 3rd party member to swap to so I can temporarily fix the camera problem.
