why people get upsett they make a split screen option for the people with real life friends. and yea split screen is dying out and i think it's a good start. stop complaining we get what we get, you bought the game knowing it's a solo game, enjoy the futures we get.

My sister and i live in the same house. We have our own pc's and would prefer to play on separate pc's. Not stuck together Cramped in a corner of the room on a 22inch monitor. We both prefer keyboard and mouse. Yet one would be forced to use controller.

Having it Online so friends, even family members can band together is better for everyone, and Computers. Split screen is a strain on a single computer. Specially a game like Stranded Deep that's not even Optimized Completely yet, as well as people wanting to do their own thing. It'd take so much more Processing power for a single computer to render, 2 different islands. Because your pc is probably going to be strained when one person is sitting around at base camp sorting out the stuff there and another person going to another island collecting and hording as many items as they can carry back.

I think split screen was a good addition. It lets the devs test how multiplayer will work without the need for servers.

When the game is working fine with the split screen, then they can start coding the server support for lan multiplayer, and then move further to player hosted server.

One step at a time makes fixing bugs a lot easier.

Is it possible to split screen across two monitors for this game? I don't own it, but looking at buying it for my wife and I to play. i.e. Single PC with two outputs.

Is this speculation or based on some information somewhere?

There seem to be two different lines of information as far as I can see, one from the developers who say "the PC version is near completion. Anyone who has a problem with that, needs to reevaluate their expectations for a 2 man team."

( https://steamcommunity.com/app/313120/discussions/0/1732087824989613811/?ctp=3#c1732087825006612268 )

And that coming from some players who seem to believe that development is going to carry on indefinitely.

Would be handy to know one way or the other, but definitive, concrete information has always been hard to get.

I have a big tv too. But i don't have anything for my keyboard/mouse to rest onto, or comfortable seats for that matter. There's literally No point what so ever, for me to pull out my computer tower, Mouse and keyboard, Rig it to my tv and mess around with settings for ages, just to get it to work right, to play about an hour or so worth of gameplay. When i could just realistically Host the game on my pc, and invite my sis through steam. Sadly, Stranded Deep doesn't give you that option.
