Also having this issue... Started a GM Mode game... 1 friend joined instantly no problem when I was hosting, then another friend, kept trying to load patch2.pak into the mods folder.. long install time.

So I had that friend try to host a GM mode game and I tried to Join and I also had the long load time and install of the patch2.pak. These issues only happen in GM mode.. in story mode we can join games no problem... So whats going on?? Have Larian just stopped supporting this game... This thread has been going for a month and not a single reply from Larian? are they working on it?
