Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems framedrops in multiplayer?

i've been playing bg3 since may of last year, with two runs (my first and current) with a friend that he hosts. my specs aren't necessarily optimal, but still run an (unsteady) 60ish fps. exclusively in multiplayer, however, after some time playing (can happen after 2 minutes, can not happen for a whole session) the game will drop to a choppy <10 fps and never improves unless i close and reopen the game. i'll try to add more details if necessary, this was hastily typed (i don't remember if there's a bugs specific section to post this to instead?)

One of the two computers is doing something else in the background, the best way forward is to join another game against someone else to see if that solves it or keeps happening

If it also happens in single player or consistently happens against other multiplayer then it going to be your computer at fault... A restart (computer) is generally the best temporary fix

it only happens when i connect to said friend, never in singleplayer. i don't join other multiplayer games very often, but can't think of a case when i connected to another (if it has i don't remember). whenever that permanent framedrop happens, my friend doesn't experience it. i'll try to test around some more
