[Guide] Online coop is possible!

[Phen]

If you have Nvidia video card you can use Gamestream feature to play coop online with just ONE purchased copy of the game!

Quick guide:

1. Open Geforce Expierence and go to Settings (cogwheel).
2. Check "Enable experimental functions"
3. Enable "Share / In-game overlay" (triangle icon near settings).

[MAKE SURE TO RUN GAME IN FULLSCREEN MODE]

4. When in-game press Alt+Z (or whatever shortcut you have to open Geforce overlay).
5. Go to Overlay settings (cogwheel) and then Stream (EXPERIMENTAL)
6. "Allow friends to join game" - "Yes".
7. Close and reopen overlay. New option will appear - "Stream".
8. Click on it and select Guest controls, then select "Play alongside me" - "Done".
9. Press on Stream again and select "Copy invite URL". Send link to your friend and he will be able to join you.

Most likely your friend will not be able to use gamepad, only keyboard. But you can workaround with software like JoyToKey or Xpadder that allow to bind gamepad buttons to keyboard keys.

Enjoy!

2 things to add: not all nvidia cards are supported and you need a good upload ( for the server) and download (host)

To be fair, that was/is a big draw for me in most game purchases. I don't personally enjoy playing single player games. I barely own/play any outside of VR. This looks great but I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty bummed I can't do co op blind with my friend. He's not going to wait, and I have less interest to play with one of us having already played most of it by the time co op is officially released.

Like most people keep saying, it's not life or death, but it does have an effect on when/if I will purchase this game.

Yeah, I suppose I can understand that veiwpoint. Personally, the person I was going to play co-op with actully lives in my house so it wasn't as big a deal breaker for me.
But I guess i can understand why a lack of real online co-op could be a deal breaker, given there are mechanics built into this game for the sole purpose of playing with a friend.
