Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Cooperative lan issue "different versions"

Hi there,

A friend of mine told me that I could play Divinity Original Sin in cooperative lan mode with just one copy of the game without being a pirate (Arrr!). That was just good to me because i do not have this much money this month with the family holidays...

This morning i bought a copy of Divinity Original Sin on Steam, downloaded the game and just made a big copy/paste of the Divinity folder to the pc of my wife.

We both can launch the game (hurray!) in offline mode (without steam running), we both can see when someone create a multiplayer game (hiiiiha!) but when we try to join the game of the other, we cannot because we have "different versions of the game"

Well... let me... think about ... it...

(-_-)

Maybe i am wrong, maybe we can't play the cooperative lan mode with just one copy of the game. If it's the case I can understand that. Or maybe I am just having a little bug?

Thank you, have a nice day and... Good luck for Belgium match tonight (from a french neighboor)

Edit : Maybe that could help someone i just noticed that when I am on the menu of Divinity, checking the version of the game under the LEAVE button, I see v1.0.53.0. At the same plave on my wife compter i see just "v". You know why the version of the game is not showing up?

Your friend was incorrect. You will need to get your wife an eye patch...

As for the version number, it was likely an error copying. Use a file comparison program, or something like DVDsig to create a checksum file on your computer to verify those on your wife's, then re-copy corrupt or missing files.

Warf thank you for the answer Raze!
Even i am a bit disappointed, the eye patch could be sexy.
Will talk to her about it.

Not sure to understand what you are talking about.
Maybe because of my english, or maybe my computer knowledge.
Can you try it again?

(If I understand what you mean, just to tell you i tried to copy the folder from my computer different ways: i tried on my ssd, i tried on an sub key and i tried by the wifi (zzZZzzz)so i am not sure it is a copy/paste issue)

Thank you for your time.

Make sure anti-aliasing is not forced in the video drivers. That can cause missing text. File corruption wouldn't be an issue with 3 different copy methods (at least not the same corruption).

Ok i'll wait for an update.
Who knows?
Thx again.
