We used to play split screen with no display issues. We had 6 month or so off the game and ever since we came back on, as player 2, my screen does all sorts of weird business.

Often things will cover half of my screen (appears to be my shield), when looking at partners player his shield is through his head; when trapping zombie villagers sometimes they will appear outside of the trapped area for me but not my partner, and they are still trapped as although they appear free to me, they do not move around.

So many little glitches, most annoying being this intermittent screen obstruction which is there most of the time, and I can't figure out what causes it, same object no matter what item I hold or even when not holding anything and inventory is empty. Plus it started off a brown colour but when I enchanted my shield the strip blocking half the screen turned an enchanted purple which is what makes me think its something to do with that.

It's ruining my game play and I just want to go back to playing care free with my partner, without having half my field of vision blocked and not being able to see CREEPERS APPROACHING! I've seen similar things reported with NO solution. Please help.
