Troubleshooting decision tree
- Wrong character or missing growth: verify the selected single-player slot.
- Quest mismatch: confirm the host world and remember quests are host-side.
- Rubberbanding: verify both players are on the current build and retest the connection.
- Missing weapon visuals: rejoin after confirming the correct save; Update 16 addressed this class of issue.
- Split-screen UI on the wrong view: restart after confirming Update 16 or later.
When to report
- Record the update/build, host or guest role, selected save slot, exact reproduction steps and whether the issue survives a clean rejoin.
Evidence boundary
Network, platform and old-save edge cases vary. Treat the official fix list as a starting point and record reproducible exceptions rather than assuming one universal cause.
