Major couch coop controller issue.

There are major issues in couch coop related to the game not recognizing player 2 initiated the menu/dialog, and the game just assumes player 1 clicked it.

For example:
P2 pressed the options button on PS5, and he now click options to enter settings.
P2 now no longer has control, as the game automatically assumes P1 entered settings.

Even simpler: when P2 pressed a waypoint to see the map to travel, he can't do anything. Because control has been passed to player 1. And clicking a waypoint with player 1 then often doesn't work, assumably because he/she is to far from the actual waypoint.

This bug comes back in lots of different situations.

If P2 clicks the workbench to salvage gear, player 1's inventory shows up, and control is passed to player 1. So player 2 can't salvage anything.

When P2 clicks the tribal/tribute thingy at the end of an event, control is passed to player 1.

You need to go through all the code where dialogs/popups are entered, and ensure you give it to the player that actually clicked it.

I agree, it happens all the time that the second player cannot interact with a lot of things, only the first player. It feels like no one has ever tested the game together.
It is also very annoying that while one player is selling things or interacting with the chest, the second player cannot do anything at this time and just waits
Nothing in the posts about upcoming changes/fixes at all about coop issues.

Sounds like we're gonna be stuck with these broken controls for at least a few more weeks :(

Two weeks is okay, I hope GGG will even give us, console players, equal love as they're giving to PC players.
When playing with 2 players co op on PS5 and after getting both players to the main town, there are no other players in the town. It’s just myself and player 2.

Cannot join a team or invite anyone to the team and everyone on the friends list disappears.

When playing with just 1 character, everything is fine.
