Coop spawn far away from mate

[JackWall]

Hi,

I have this "issue" while playing coop. I invite my friend to the game but we always start away from each other, like 1200m away. Is that normal? We don't own a house yet, since it's the very beggining of the game, I don't know if that's the reason.

A little help here, without spoilers, please! Thanks

That's how SR Coop works. We need to spawn the joining player at a reasonably known position in the game so we spawn at the closest crib. If you don't own any cribs we spawn them at the nearest hospital.

Way back on SR2, when we were first putting in Coop, I tried to spawn the client at a nearby location to the host but it turned out to be a very hard problem to get to work in all cases. It was just too buggy and had to be pulled out of the game.

Yes it's the same in SR the third. I have the sandbox mod so i just teleport to a safehouse or to the other player

Thanks for your repplies, I thought it was a bug or something. So now that we have the 1st "safe house", will we spawn at the same location or will it be like before? Thanks again

I think it's the closest safehouse/gateway to where the player last saved that campaign so if you only have one then it should spawn you there.

That's only for the host when loading a game. The client will always join in at the closest crib/gateway to where the host is at the time of joining. This is meant for the cases where the client is joining into games where the two players may not have the same set of cribs unlocked.
