I use an M1 24" Mac with 16GB Ram and latest OS and have been playing primality with three friends (all on PCs) in multiplayer since game launch. I have a very solid 500MB ethernet connection to my ISP. I have not run any mods.
Many of the hot fixes over the last several months have precipitated problems with BG3 crashing during the load process, especially in outside environments. When patch 6 was released we(I) had one of the best gameplay experiences where graphics all worked perfectly. Then hot fix #25 landed this week and I could not load in multiplayer at all, regardless of inside or outside environment. Always stalls at 100%. In this case we were in Act 3 in Lower City.
Hard to hazard a guess as to what is causing this problem, but I sure wish hot fixes would be tested among a cadre of users in multiplayer before the hot fix is released. This has been a very frustrating ride. Game is awesome, when it functions as advertised. But really sucks when it doesn't.
