Players in Co-op mode does not display during cutscenes
During beta all players were visible during cutscene in background, but since release they are invisible, but all the effects on players are shown correctly, such as magic attacks, auras or footsteps. Is it intended changes to make cutscenes more immersive or some sort of a bug?

Sounds like a bug. I have other players in some cutscenes and they render correctly.

I have this issue too. Couldn't believe it's intentional so I made a ticket to Larian asking is this a bug or not. I suggest you to ask them too so they know people have this issue
It feels kinda lonely and breaks the immersion for me and my friend

had the same thing happen with my co-op campaign too. no players at all are popping into cutscenes. my friends and i did the little cute quest with the tiefling bard, it was only the person who started the conversation that was in the cutscene, nobody else. very immersion breaking for sure

Same here. It has to be a bug. My friends have been telling me they've been seeing their own party members (players) in cutscenes just fine. Everything from the Bard cutscene, to simple dialogue with NPCs. Seems like some people's games have this bug with their version.

Hi there! You mean your friend can see everybody in full release version or it was like that for them when it was EA?
My friend and I play together but in the cutscenes (like if we wanted to get screenshots of our characters or likewise) Only 1 PC (Player Character) is shown in the cutscenes and their entourage.


In early access we could see each other. Do I have a problem or is the save corrupt that we can’t see each other in cinematics?

If not, are you going to implement it. We love talking and visually seeing our characters in given conversations, so this is a huge problem for us.

Just had to copy if someone would see it, we're fighting over this and I need answers asap but like there are almost 1.000.000 people playing this and I can imagine the ticket problem

Yessir, my friend can see everybody in the full release version. It was like that in the EA version but, for me, players are not appearing in any NPC cutscenes. In his separate campaign, he and 3 other players were all appearing in NPC cutscenes together when they would listen in on dialogue. However, for mine and some other of my friend's campaigns, this isn't the case. I just see auras or hear footsteps, so I know players are there and present but no player models show up.

Damn I envy your friend! Thanks for confirming that it is possible in release version, all of my friends (five people in total) couldn't see each other... we even conducted an experiment with different hosts, lobbies/origin characters and such lol
We've started to think it's supposed to be this way ._.
Hope they'll fix this soon for all of us not so lucky fellas

big hotfix came out but looks like no fix for players not appearing in cutscenes in co-op yet :(
Jokekiller Aug 9, 2023 @ 2:07am 
Anybody have any answers from support? I had auto respond about bug fixing and no personal respond yet but maybe somebody got lucky?

Over a year later I still have this bug, please fix it, it's a big deal for roleplaying and funnyness :)

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
