Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General multiplayer drop in and out doesn't exist

This game was supposed to be able to have players drop in and out of a game with their already existing character, but instead you can only play with someone that you created a game with from the beginning.

So far the only way my friend and I can join each other, is if one of us start a game together from the character creation screen. After that if we close the game joining doesn't exist anymore.

Before closing a multiplayer session you should save. The next time then the host can resume the multiplayer game and you or your friend (whoever is hosting the game) can send a steam invite and join from there.

Otherwise you can use the "room" list in the game multiplayer section of the game and find your friend's room there and setup a custom name and password to join. To recognize it all you have to do is decide a custom name and password that both of you can recognize in the list so you can find it and join.

If you use said method, also check the "visibility" in the game options to be sure your room is actually visible in the list and set who can join (public, only friends etc).

And also he was completely wrong about "This game was supposed to be able to have players drop in and out of a game with their already existing character", when that was never said and in fact the opposite was said many times.

But he was also almost certainly a troll, so that mistake was probably deliberate.
