I bought a Divinity: Original Sin alpha two-pack with a friend on Steam. We are consistently having difficulty playing together. I have looked around these forums and the Steam forums as much as I am able and have tried every suggestion I have found.
We have both tried hosting normally, running the game in administrative mode, running in compatability mode, running without a firewall, Steam inviting the other when he is not currently in game, and every combination of the above. Almost always, the game brings up the LOADING screen and then immediately (5-10 seconds) kicks the joiner back to the main menu. About once in every hundred attempts the game allows us to connect to each other for no apparent reason whatsoever.
For me, the fact that this game has co-operative play was the main incentive to buy. I would greatly appreciate some actual feedback on why this problem is happening and when it will be rectified.
