Setup:
You will need to have two players that are friends on Steam that have progressed to Act 3 (Baldur's Gate) and have progressed to unlock several waypoints in the Lower City and sewers.
To Reproduce:
1. Load a save in the Lower City.
2. Open the pause menu - > select Multiplayer
3. Invite the other player from the setup step
4. Click Accept
Results:
The player invited into the host's game will fail to load into the Lower City. Either their loading screen will lock up at 60% and will need to force quit or they will load in with many UI elements missing, all visible characters T-posing, and all visible UI elements non-functional. During this time the friend is loaded in, they will be unable to save the game or load into a new area until the friend leaves the game.
Note:
If the friend loads in correctly, have them use Lower City waypoints to fast travel to different locations around town; it will eventually happen.

This is killing my and my partner's desire to want to play this game right now. We can't fast travel to anything in the Lower City anymore because, more often than not, it will cause the above issue, forcing her to force-close the game and relaunch and it's become beyond frustrating.
This issue was not happening for us prior to the most recent Hotfix. Is there a workaround? A fix? Anything?
