Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Direct connect doesnt work - enhanced ed.

Hi,

A friend and I are playing the enhanced ed in coop. He's hosting and so far he's been sending me gave invites. This is working OK for us, but I get kicked out a few times in a session and he has to ivite me again and again (which is a bit annoying). We wish to join a third friendto the coop and we fear this would become an endless and tedious invites session instead. We figure the direct connect could help, but we've tried a few different times using it just the for the two us, and each time my computer got stuck.
I turned off any other software using the network and disabled clouds services syncing and also turned off the fire wall. I also run the program via
C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Divinity - Original Sin Enhanced Edition\shipping\EoCApp - (which I thought is supposed to be the exectuable Raze was talking about in a few other posts) but so far with no success.
I would appreciate any help in this
Thanks

Can you join in the lobby? Your friend would have to set the online visibility to friends only or public.

Can you join using Direct Connection in a new game? If so, can your friend then load the latest save from your current playthrough?

If you try hosting a new game to test, can your friend join by Direct Connection?

Try starting a new multiplayer game, exit back to the main menu and then try joining.

Try resetting your network adapters:
- click Start (or Search in Win 10), type cmd into the search box, right click Command Prompt and select run as administrator.
- type the following command and hit Enter
netsh winsock reset
- when that is done, there should be a message 'Winsock reset completed successfully'
- type exit and hit Enter, then reboot your computer.
