Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Lag spikes during co-op combat.

With the new patch now out. I have begun to lag a whole lot whenever it's my friends turn to use his two characters, though it works fine when I am on my own characters. Is there any possible fix for this thing?

Edit: It seems to happen more often whenever poison damage is being inflicted to someone.

Are you hosting, or your friend?

Do you have any problem if you try the same fight in single player? If you are not hosting, you would need to get your friend to send you the save.


Please email supportdos2@larian.com, with a description (or link to this topic) and a save where this is happening (or a Dropbox or Google drive link, etc).
Each save is a folder in the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2\PlayerProfiles\<ProfileName>\Savegames' folder. In Windows Explorer you can zip file(s) and folder(s) by right clicking on it/them and selecting 'Send To | Compressed (zipper) Folder'.

Also include a dxdiag report for both systems (WinKey-R, type in dxdiag and hit enter, then when it finishes loading click on the 'Save All Information...' button and save the report somewhere handy).

I also get this in single-player mode: framerates regularly drop to <10 fps with very noticeable lag for about 5-10 seconds at a time during combat. I haven't paid attention to the exact trigger, if there is one, but now you've mentioned poison that could be a common factor.

I am the one hosting the server, and yes it does happen in single player too, where it begins lagging whenever I take poison damage, or if an enemy takes poison damage.

Edit: It happens in every fight which includes being poisoned in, though lasts for like 5-15 seconds at max.
