Next, start the game again from the '..\SteamApps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\bin\EoCApp.exe' program file, select Join Online Game in the Campaign section, switch to the LAN tab, rather than Online, and try joining.


No dude, you are not hearing me. Again, I did all of this already. I have no interest in playing a LAN game or with a steam friend. I am interested in the public games and that freezes my game every time.

The only reason I want to play this game is for the unique feature of its cast of party members taking their own actions, and I cannot do that as of now.

Also, fixes like what you have mentioned do not really help much if i have to downgrade my rez and mute the game to play.......

please.
