I have finished the game several times on single player. Never had any trouble in lower city.
Now 1st time playing multiplayer with a friend of my acting as game host. We had 0 troubles or lag elsewhere, but when entering lower city:
- Hosting player: no problems, game playes normally
- For me and the 2 other players: extremely slow load, then either total freeze or finally game screen, with nothing but ground, no buildings or anything, NPC's hover around in T shape and then freeze/chrash. Sometimes character would briedfly 'teleport to other location' in Wyrmcrossing (place/event played like 30-45min earlier) before freeze/chrash.
We tried reloading several times, lowered all graph settings to minimum, resetted routers etc. nothing helps.
My computer (PC) specs well exceed min specs (Nvidia 3070, plenty of RAM, whole game is installed on SSD etc.). Same with others and they have all also played game through and experienced 0 problems in lower city before
If I go to lower city on single player, no problems.
UPDATE:
Continued testing. If I set graphic settings to absolute minimum, I can get to lower city on multiplayer. After graphic elements and NPC's have loaded, which happens very fast, I can then set everything back to ultra high and 4K again and everything works just fine. It is just the transition/loading from Wyrmscrossing to Lower city that is messed.
