Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems how to start split screen co-op on switch 2?

I have tried everything I can think of, both controllers are plugged in.

The eshop listing specifically says the switch 2 version supports split screen co-op, and it's the only reason I bought it. How can I do it?

As far as I understand, the game offers single-player, local multiplayer (using multiple consoles and multiple game copies), and online multiplayer.

I have tested all available multiplayer options, both local (wireless) and online, but I was unable to get multiplayer working in any form.
In all cases, no lobby is shown for the second player/console, making it impossible to join a game.

I would also like to add that I purchased the game specifically for this multiplayer functionality,
as playing together offline/online was the main reason for my purchase.

The two consoles were running slightly different internal build versions:

Switch 1: 3.6.117.3733
Switch 2: 3.6.117.3735

Unfortunately, I did not have access to a second Nintendo Switch 2 with the exact same build version to verify whether multiplayer would work under identical versions.

At this point, I assume that we may need to wait for a fix,
and I sincerely hope that a bug fix or patch will be released soon,
as the multiplayer feature currently appears to be unusable despite correct setup.
