Xbox BUG- co-op crash host

[TheZandrow]

I have a save file with my girlfriend that has 25 hours on it, as of tonight when she joins the game (split screen) my screen shows (press *start* to join game) and a second message with the text outside the box (Please reconnect your controller to continue the game) I can press *start* to join game however we don’t have another game or character but it doesn’t recognize if I press *B* which normally closes the menu. Please help!
I attached a JPG of my screen as well.

I’m not exactly sure what I did but somehow a series of manually turning off controllers and button mashing fixed it

Same issue here, when trying to add a second player (host +1) in split-screen co-op it seems to disconnect controller 1 and treat it as an additional new player

If you’re looking for a quick fix I did a mix of turning off the controllers, reconnecting, then button mashing to get it playable. I’ll see if I can get the glitch again tonight to figure out a sure fire way to clear it.
