Since the Chase the Skies update and hotfix, splitscreen players on PS5 are being forced into Guest accounts and withiut their previous progress on the world/realm.
The ‘host’ player has access to their account and progress, but no splitscreen players do
To reproduce:
Have 2 unique PlayStation accounts signed in to the PlayStation.
Have one player open an existing realm or world that both players have played in together.
Once the host is logged logged in, have the second player join the game.
What is expected: the second player logs in with their name and has their items/ previous world location.
What currently happens: the second player is logged in as a guest account at world spawn with no items.
We have tested: Having the second player be the ‘host’ and they properly load in at their last location with their inventory. The original host player joins, and is forced into a guest account.
