Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Random disconnects in multiplayer

Are you shutting down all non-essential programs before starting the game? (anti-virus, anything network related [even voice chat, at least long enough to see if that makes a difference], etc)

I'm not sure there is much locally that would contribute to disconnects...

If you are using a wifi connection, you could try wired, if available.

Try connecting directly to the modem, or if the system is connected to a switch, try connecting to the router (if cable lengths and the physical configuration allows).

Have you tried playing at different times of the day, to see if network load may be part of the problem?

Have either of you tried playing with anyone else?

Did Discord stay connected? VOIP is pretty tolerant of network issues, so if it also dropped, one system may be briefly losing the internet connection.

If you reboot when the game disconnects and start the game again, do you get another period of it being fine, or does it continue with the frequent disconnects?
If rebooting helps, that would imply a local game/system issue (memory leak, or something).
One person in D:OS reported frequent disconnects if they had their laptop's power saving options set to disable wifi after a period of inactivity.
