Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Cross-play PCxPS5 disconnect (patch8)

I play on (a good) PC, my son picks up the PS5 and joins my multiplayer game.
Over the course of a 4-6h gaming session, we get random disconnects.

When we do, I (host) become invisible to him (PS5), and I have to completely close the game and reset everything before becoming visible (and joinable) again.
Sometimes just a quit/reload isn't enough, and we have to do it a couple of times until everything re-syncs.

We are on the same network, cabled connections, everything else is working, the game simply disconnects.

During these events, if I go to the multipayer menu on PC, and show online friends, it shows my STEAM friends, not my LARIAN friends, which might be indicative that my Larian account connection is gone. Only quitting/restarting the game brings the larian friends back to my visibility.

I'm planning on taking a more detailed log during my next playing session in a couple of days.

I've opened a bug report with Larian, but I'm curious about others' experience with cross-play. Is it working well for others? are there any faster/less disruptive work-arounds or at least a way to recover faster?

I believe my friends and I experienced something similar last night. I'm hosting on PS5. One friend on PS5, another on PC. We live in separate areas but didn't have issues one week ago. New hotfix installed, and now as the host, it intermittently gives me "online features disabled" errors and boots both friends out. They're unable to join back, and my Larian account is inactive until I restart the game. Happened about five or six times, one game without any mods at all just to test, and then five times with mods. We usually were booted within a minute or so, but once it went about 15-20 after I restarted my PS5. Hope they fix this. Very frustrating. We couldn't even really make progress except for that one long window.
