Coop Split Screen does not merge even when characters are close to each others?

[Andi422]

Hi! Wifey and I got our coop session running.

However, the screen stays split regardless of distance between our characters (in D:OS 2 it merged as far as I can remember)

Do you experience the same behaviour/bug? Help! :)

1. Start new singleplayer game with 1 controller.
2. During character creation, second player presses buttons on his controller (don't know which buttons, I think its A, we just slammed all of them)
3. Screen splits and both can select a PC.

We have the same problem here, the splitscreen don't merge when we are close on local coop (XBox controller).
When we look on options page for inputs, it' says that the down arrow of D-Pad should force/unforce splitscreen but it's not working at all...
If you find a solution please tell us ! :)

I found a temporary solution, but you need two screens and a quite a good PC.
Active Nvida Surround via Nvida control Panel selecting your 2 screens.
When launching BG3 it will take all your two screens, then load your save and connect the second player coop. There will be one screen for each player.
It's breaking some cinematics but it's way more comfortable. Beware : the game will run on 4K to support the resolution of the two screens !

This is complete nonsense. There's no merged splitscreen in any way or form...

While I was at PAX, I recently spoke to one of the devs about the dynamic splitscreen like we had in DoS2 and he confirmed it's coming in a future update, just couldn't say when. So there's that at least. Maybe there will be some other coop QoL changes coming with it.

Thank you very much <3 #1 reason I still did not play this game with my wife.
