  • Yes, the game supports split screen local co-op on consoles and even on PC.

    You can play through the first 2/3rds of the game in split screen with no trouble. However, in my experience it gets unstable in act 3 on Xbox Series X (probably also on PS5). Presumably it is something to do with the limited memory on consoles, so if your PC has great specs it should work there.

    They are planning an update due next month which is supposed to address the crashing, but it remains to be seen.

    I think currently the best experience on consoles is to have two copies of the game on separate consoles.

    The patch 7 update also will supposedly add cross platform multiplayer, so you could have one player on console and one on PC, since you probably don’t have two Xboxes, but again, it remains to be seen














  • I think I understand how it works.

    Remember that LLMs are glorified auto-complete. They just spit out the most likely word that follows the previous words (literally just like how your phone keyboard suggestions work, just with a lot more computation).

    They have a limit to how far back they can remember. For ChatGPT 3.5 I believe it’s 24,000 tokens.

    So it tries to follow instruction and spits out “poem poem poem” until all the data is just the word “poem”, then it doesn’t have enough memory to remember its instructions.

    “Poem poem poem” is useless data so it doesn’t have anything to go off of, so it just outputs words that go together.

    LLMs don’t record data in the same way a computer file is stored, but absent other information may “remember” that the most likely word to follow the previous word is something that it has seen before, i.e. its training data. It is somewhat surprising that it is not just junk. It seems to be real text (such as bible verses).

    If I am correct then I’m surprised OpenAI didn’t fix if. I would think they could make it so in the event the LLM is running out of memory it would keep the input and simply abort operation, or at least drop the beginning of its output.
