I hate that you need to make an account for everything these days...
but I made one to talk about these issues because I don't see them mentioned anywhere else. There are multiple problems I found:
The first is one I'm not sure is a bug, and was one of the reasons I didn't realize GameShare was even in the game, but you can't start a GameShare session from the main menu. You have to load up a farm and access GameShare from that menu. Maybe it's not a bug and ConcernedApe just decided to make the game like this for some weird reason, but I definitely think you should be able to start a GameShare session from the initial Co-op farm creation menu, so everyone can immediately make their characters and start as soon as the farm loads in, especially since you can choose the number of cabins from that menu from the start.
Now on to the ones that are definitely bugs...
1. GameShare doesn't appear as an option if you load the farm from the Co-op menu.
This was the other reason I didn't think GameShare was even in the game (maybe it wasn't and there was a patch without me noticing?). I can't remember if I ever checked the Load menu, but I usually tried loading from the Co-op menu. When I load up the farm from there and go to the multiplayer section, it shows a dropdown menu for "Server Mode", a checkbox for "Enable new character creation" and a dropdown menu for "Building Move Mode". GameShare doesn't appear at all:
This menu doesn't do anything. You have to "Exit To Title" and reload the farm from the Load menu. Then the "Start Local Co-op" and "Start GameShare" options pop up, and the other ones disappear:
It's definitely not right that the option doesn't appear when loading from the Co-op menu, and I'm pretty sure both menus should appear at the same time instead of one replacing the other, so that's definitely a bug, but even when you actually start the GameShare session, there's another issue.
2. During GameShare, Switch 2 display glitches in docked mode.
(Sorry for the crappy camera photos. I actually had to take these with my phone, because the in-game screenshots don't show the problem. They just look like normal screenshots.)
When starting a GameShare session in handheld mode, the Switch 2 screen looks fine. (I don't know if this is important, but the other console was a Switch Lite. That screen looked fine the whole time.) However, if you dock it, the game looks like this on the TV:
See that diagonal and horizontal line of glitchy pixels, and glitched pixels over the character?
That's how it looks before player 2 joins. After player 2 joins, the docked Switch 2 game looks like this:
So, if you load the farm from the Load menu and play the Switch 2 in handheld mode, everything should be fine, as far as I know. Otherwise, you get these problems.
