Qestions about local couch coop..

[LuckyStriker]

So I saw trough google search that is possible to do split screen with this mod ( https://www.reddit.com/r/localmultiplayergames/comments/brm8ac/grim_dawn_diablo_like_rpg_local_coop_on_the_same/ )

So is it still possible to do that and if anyone have experience with it could u please tell me if it has any kind of drawback in terms of 2nd player interacting with NPCs, story ect?

First I've ever seen of this "mod/tool". Pretty sure they've never posted it on the official forum or here either so you are probably going to have to deal with the person who made that post on reddit to find out if it works.

Reading thru the comments it rather sounds like the person actually has it working - so that's kinda interesting. Try it out and let people know how it goes.

Yeah I posted there also, I posted here just in case someone has tried

I didnt bought the game and would like to buy it if the mod really works coz the plan is to play it with my brother if it works, otherwise I have no Interest in the geme, but the game sure looks intuitive and awesome

[LuckyStriker]

Yup he answered and he says its still working and functionally its the same as online coop

[LuckyStriker]

Yup It works for me, had a few problems but the guy is friendly and helped me all the way.

Now here's the big question: given the problem with GD's coop (only showing quest info to a single player) can this be used with Steam's feature to allow split-screen local coop to be used over the internet? That way everyone could see the quest info.

Steams feature split screen local coop? I didn't know that steam has that feature.. Do you mean the new "play together" feature? Either way I can't see them working together coz nucleus is running 2 instances and is taking a hefty punch to the PC already and turning on also steams feature.. I know my PC would die probably coz I still roll with FX old-timer XD

While we are at the topic, which player has the story quests? Host?

My understanding is that the "play together" was supposed to be allowing games with split-screen, local coop to run over the internet, like online multiplayer games. So, if it could be combined with the GD local, split-screen coop mod, it would allow everyone to see the quest dialogue and follow along with the story.

Edit: Yes it would be a clunky, hackish, rube-goldberg solution; but if the devs won't address the issue, what can you do?
