Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Xbox Series X “Timeout” and frame drops

Game:
Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

Console:
Xbox Series X
(Each friend has a Series X as well)
3 of us in total.

Mode:
Story

Session Type:
Multiplayer

Context:
Friends have been having an increasing amount of trouble connecting to my game. The message I see after they’ve tried connecting for a certain period of time is “[gamertag] has timed out”.

What time it occurs:
This occurs both when we’re first trying to get everyone in my lobby and when we try loading any save. I’m unsure if it occurs upon entering a new area as well.

When it started occurring:
With the previous update towards the end of December and also shortly after reaching Act 2; I’m unsure which one is responsible because we updated the game around the same time we started exploring Reaper’s Coast.



Frame Drop Bug:
There is another bug that occurs from prolonged game sessions roughly 2-3 hours.
The game frame drops intensely to what looks like even 5-10fps, though it is remedied for each player by each player closing their game and reopening it. Once everyone reopens their game and joins my newly created lobby, the 2-3 hour *timer* starts for the next extreme frame drop to occur again.
Started occurring when we first started playing the game from Act 1 and played for 2-3 hours for the first time.

Final Thoughts:
The frame drop is manageable and there are temporary fixes we as players can do. The ‘timeout’ issue however…now *that’s* an issue that has made the game unplayable with my friends on Xbox to the point we’ve completely stopped playing.

That is all :-]

My friends and I eagerly await a patch for this, and I’ve seen others have as well.

Also, I had already sent an email to supportdos2@larian.com about a week and a half ago now. The email contains effectively the same text as this post.

My friends and I are rooting for you devs. We eagerly await a fix/patch/workaround

My friends and I are having the same issue with the timeout trying to join the game. There are 4 of us, all Xbox Series X and were in Arx before the big December patch, now still in Arx no one can join the game, it always times out. We've tried every trick people have shared and they always still get the timeout when trying to join. We've put in way too much time to start over, but some of them haven't finished the game before and would like to see the ending. Hoping Larian fixes this
