CO-OP Not working

On PS4. Unable to use the couch co-op and repeatedly states “Failed to Start Split-Screen. There is no space in the group”. 

Any hints to tips or tips to fix?

Initially could use however severe lag and jittering. Then  froze at Rux. When reset unable to rejoin.

    I had the same exact problem before when trying to do split screen with another ps4 account. After hours, I made another ps4 account and tried it with the new one. It worked and I never had this problem again. Hope this helps if you really want to play with someone split screen. Otherwise, I hope this bug is fixed soon

    Were you in a group with other players when you tried to join splitscreen? You cannot join splitscreen if you are the host of the group or if there are already 4 players in the group.

    i getting this message on PS4 when trying to use second player : 

    Failed to start split screen.There is no space in the group.

    Do you know what might be causing it? Bug? as my group has only P1 in it and other 3 slots are empty.

    @MacDGalbraith Nope. Wasn’t part of a group. Literally joined the game. Went to try co-op and failed. Even after restarts, nothing.

    Similar problem here on XBox One. Split screen was working until we tried to enter the PvE area, the game crashed and bailed to XBox dash. Split screen hasn't worked since; “Failed to Start Split-Screen. There is no space in the group” despite there being only P1 in the group. Group set to open, world set to play with others. Tried logging out of all profiles and back in, restarting the console etc still unplayable.

    @arit0824 I'll try that tomorrow, thanks. Hope the bug is squished soon though since a new account means no progression on the main account that's replaced ? Fingers crossed, still early days.

    Creating account helps until you exit a game and then this account also having issues. This is BUG for sure, or may be EA can call it a feature lol to create 20 accounts.
