Local Co Op

[Incomitatum]

I've watched videos and read articles about how this game is Co Op now.

What I'm most interested in is sitting down with my wife, on the couch, and playing alongside her.

I don't see the Local CoOp tag on the Store.

So, without running NucleusCoOp, does this game support Local/Couch CoOp?

Hey me and wife just got the game and...when i clicked to try and create a co-op session i got "Failed to create a game session. Please try again later." so i'm here looking for answers only to find out that this is a long standing issue that people are still having.

Other than that the game co-op works via Shiro games servers, so sadly no local.

Oh my bad, it looks like it aint server based, it's peer-to-peer...which is even stranger as to why co-op isn't working.

While writing this another "satisfied customer" with the same co-op problem made a post about it...

Still can't load coop games if their server is down. As to why is a mystery.

I have a small window in which I have funds.

For me it's between Wartales and Stolen Realms; whichever ACTUALLY will do Couch CoOp.

Hey so they fixed the issue some 10 hours ago. The game doesn't work in local (LAN) it has to go over either Shiro games servers or Steam servers, meaning it is peer-2-peer but with a online stop in the middle.

Btw thanks for showing me NucleusCoOp, never heard of it before. I don't think Wartales will work over Nucleus.

Also just i case, let me tell you about a diametrically different software called Parsec :) just in case, you never know, you might need it :)

Neither of them have true couch co-op, both basically will have you just taking turns with the controller/keyboard.
I will say that Stolen Realms has simultaneous co-op (i.e. you both take your turn at the same time) if you're playing online, but in Wartales you will constantly have to switch turns.
Furthermore, sadly the online co-op in Wartales is pretty limited, since both players have to engage in the same task at all times, which makes it kind of similar to just sitting at the same computer and taking turns playing.
I recommend both. If you can buy two copies of Stolen Realms, I'd recommend that for co-op for simultaneous co-op play, but if you don't mind having to swap controllers as you play, Wartales is really good too.
