When playing multiplayer split screen with my kids the game does not remember their characters. They load in at the spawn point with just a starter map like they had never played. The only thing it saves is their skin. If I reload the map multiple times I can occasionally get lucky and their stuff will show up. Sometimes it happens to only one person, sometimes all additional players that join. I am the only one (player 1) that can reliably load. This is on the better together version.

Also, lots of game crashing and lag. Everyone is using their own gamertag ( no guests. ) All my software is current. I never had any issues with the old Xbox one version. Please let me know if there is anything I can try because this is truly game breaking and I would prefer to play this newer version as opposed to going back to the XB1 version.
