Couch Coop - Player 1 problems, imbalance

[Drinkable Cheeseburger]

We have encountered some weird situations.

1. Amulets seem to be collected only in Player 1's color
2. Only Player 1 can buy Upgrades at the Hideout
3. When Player 1 upgrades Artifacts at the Shop, others cant switch them anymore
4. Artifacts seem to only upgrade for Player 1
5. Player 1 gets all boss rewards
6. Camera always focuses Player 1 which can make boss-fights or larger levels near unplayable

Are there any fixes for that ahead?

Also, you cannot change turtle in couch coop. You need leave to menu, and pick again from there. So annoying

Also this results in player 2 having only 3 options instead of 4 when he picks Powers. for instance you need 3 shoulderguards to pick option 4 but when I upgrade things in the hideout I have 8 shoulder guards.

And the second player has 4 revives and player 1 has 2 revives and I can't understand why

It's all tied to the hosts save file in couch co op, so you're basically just helping your friend play the game, if you want to progress on your save file you'll have to host first, as for the camera issue, I'd just try to stick together as much as possible, try attacking the same targets together, don't run ahead of each other as often, may be hard when there is alot of AOE's on screen but don't panic dodge, if you time it right you can actually dodge everything standing in one spot, building defense items helps alot too, I have a feeling they might not touch couch co op as that's basically how it works, you're going over to your friends house to play the game on his save file, hence "couch co op", but switching hosts so you guys both can progress back to back would be the only fix as of now, if you're using remote play that is, I def recommend both of you to get the game if you like it, that way you can use the online version and invite via room codes, camera issue will go away and progress will be on each others own save.

IIRC it gives +2 to each additional player in couch coop. So P1 has 2 lives, P2 4, P3 6. It's definitely a bug.
