Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Multiplayer Discussion Deactivate forced Split Screen?

I'm somewhat disappointed by the patch but in a way I expected it. I have two theories now and I hope the latter one turns out to be true:

1.Given that they're fixing things in co-op but still keeping split-screen, could it be that they actually want the game to stay this way?

2. Perhaps it's easier to address issues this way with the mindset that if it runs smoothly in permanent split-screen, then merging it won't be a problem. Once everything runs smoothly, they might add the option to merge split-screen. I have no idea if this makes sense from a developer's perspective but that's how I could explain it.

That would imply that we became involuntary testers to report issues. We were deprived of the opportunity to experience the game as intended during the initial playthrough, yet still paid the full price. It's a mistake I won't make again. In the future, I'll wait another six months before buying a game from Larian, even if they are diligent in patching. The game was and somehow is in a catastrophic state regarding the co-op mode
