Game:
Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition
Console:
Xbox Series X
Mode:
Story
Session Type:
Multiplayer
Context:
Friends have been having an increasing amount of trouble connecting to my game. The message I see after they’ve tried connecting for a certain period of time is “[gamertag] has timed out”.
What time it occurs:
This occurs both when we’re first trying to get everyone in my lobby and when we try loading any save. I’m unsure if it occurs upon entering a new area as well.
When it started occurring:
With the previous update towards the end of December and also shortly after reaching Act 2; I’m unsure which one is responsible because we updated the game around the same time we started exploring Reaper’s Coast.
Frame Drop Bug:
There is another bug that occurs from prolonged game sessions roughly 2-3 hours.
The game frame drops intensely to what looks like even 5-10fps, though it is remedied for each player by each player closing their game and reopening it. Once everyone reopens their game and joins my newly created lobby, the 2-3 hour *timer* starts for the next extreme frame drop to occur again.
Started occurring when we first started playing the game from Act 1 and played for 2-3 hours for the first time.
Final Thoughts:
The frame drop is manageable and there are temporary fixes we as players can do. The ‘timeout’ issue however…now *that’s* an issue that has made the game unplayable with my friends on Xbox to the point we’ve completely stopped playing.
That is all :-]
My friends and I eagerly await a patch for this, and I’ve seen others have as well.
Also, I had already sent an email to supportdos2@larian.com about a week and a half ago now. The email contains effectively the same text as this post.
My friends and I are rooting for you devs. We eagerly await a fix/patch/workaround
