Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Frequently rejoin game with all stats at 5

I did a google search and found some old threads with the same problem but with no resolution.

The only solution in game was to level up, and that seemed to fix things.

I play with my friend, he always hosts. When I load in, everything looks fine to him, but all my stats are 5 and items which require higher stats are removed.

I believe the numbers used in battle are correct, it's just disorienting and disruptive as I cannot equip new items, hit chances are miscalculated.

It makes playing with my friend a very hit or miss affair and is quite frustrating. Sometimes restarting everything fixes it, sometimes it doesn't.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if there is any way to fix this, other than leaving and re-joining (assuming it isn't a consistent problem, short of restarting). One person reported this problem if they joined during combat, but it was fixed once their turn came around (though I don't know if that would help your case, and it wouldn't be a very convenient workaround if it did).

Did you try joining a new multiplayer game and then you friend loading a current save?

It's a fairly consistent problem. 2 out of 3 times when I join him the stats are messed up. It's always in a safe place where there is no combat. Restarting only sometimes fixes it.

I haven't tried your last suggestion though. Might be worth looking into. It would be nice to not have the problem though, hopefully it'll get patched.

My friend and I also have had this problem recently. If he (the host) takes control of the character from me everything is fine on his end. On my end everyone looks like there's no armor equipped and one of our followers is at half health.

The best way we've found to fix this is for the host to take control of all characters and do a save and load then give control back. For the one in five tries that this doesn't work we will load a different area and then do the control-to-host, save, reload process and everything is normal. Hope this helps.

*edit*

Did you at any point in your character's career think about putting a point in Glass Cannon and then undo it before accepting? i.e. clicked Glass Cannon and then instead of accepting with the check-box, take the point out and put it somewhere else? I'm wondering because I actually did this and afterwards is when I started having problems with my character.

When I did this my health was temporarily stuck at 50% until I was struck, then afterwards every time I loaded in, the stats issue occurred. I'm not sure if this is related at all but it was the only character change I made between never having the issue and then having the issue every time.

I had this just yesterday with a laggy host after he loaded a slightly earlier save, but it was fixed by me simply leaving and rejoining. It was pretty early into the game, we had just arrived in cyseal, but it never happened with another friend when we played for 10+ hours. So it's related to bad connection i guess.
