Run msconfig again to switch back to the normal boot configuration. Next, click on the Services tab, check the box to Hide all Microsoft services, then click the Disable All button (maybe make a note of which are currently enabled/disabled), then click OK and reboot the computer. Click Start, or hit WinKey-R, type in msconfig and hit enter in the General tab, click Selective Startup, uncheck Load startup items (if required) and leave Load system services and Use original boot configuration options checked. Have your friend try doing a clean boot and then test the game. If you use Discord, that may also be an option. LAN may be an option, but since you are not on the same local network, it would require VPN software, such as Hamachi or Tunngle. Without Steam running, or Galaxy for the GOG release, you can join using Direct Connection (with a Server ID, which the host can get in the Connectivity Menu after starting a new game or loading a save, or IP address). Try exiting out of the Steam client, and starting the game directly from the '.\SteamApps\common\Divinity Original Sin 2\DefEd\bin\EoCApp.exe' program file, by right clicking and running as administrator (or '.\Divinity Original Sin 2\Classic\EoCApp.exe' for the original release). With the GOG version, in the (optional) Galaxy client, select Divinity: Original Sin 2 in the left column, then click on the More button, and in the Manage menu select 'Verify / Repair'. Try verifying local files: in the Steam library, right click on the game and select Properties, switch to the Local Files tab and then click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache.' button. If you are using any mods, try testing in a new profile without any mods enabled.Ĭheck the controller profile for the game in Steam, or elsewhere, as applicable.Īre they shutting down all non-essential programs before starting the game, especially anti-virus and anything network related (utility or monitoring programs, etc)? In Windows, does this happen if you test with the Classic release of the game?ĭoes the same thing happen joining an Arena match? If they try hosting a new game, do they have any problem if you join? Has your friend tried joining anyone else?
