After patch 2 friend can't join our modded save
Been fine up until now, we have 100% same mods and edited files and up until today there have been no problems, we've un-installed and re-installed, verified, copied load order, everything.

Has anyone else have this? Anyone know a potential fix?

So remove the mods.

Ya see the problem with that is when you play 50+ hours with the mods that effect gameplay, you kinda need them for the save to work.

I assume we'll just have to wait for certain mods to update for it to work again, as we can both play individually, it just causes them to load back into the menu when they join.

Maybe your mods needs upgrading.
After Patch 2 some did need to upgrade in order to work like it should. Be careful that you all have the same versions of the mods.

Every mod that has been updated we have updated, and I just send them what I download, then I install for them as well, so we have 100% same mods/edited files, and game still works fine for both of us, just can't join each other. I suppose it's 1 mod being strange and we just need to wait

Probably that, if where you downloaded the mods have a comment section, look if anyone seems to have the same problem as you, and you might be able to find the culprit.
I personally didn't try multiplayer with mods since the Patch yet, but if I do and find anything, I'll come back with what I know

Yeah, we've been reading some comments and the only one that pops upm with anything is ImprovedUI, not even this issue, but we tried downgrading, upgrading and all the things with it but no luck

My boyfriend and I had a similar problem. We updated all mods to their most recent versions, made sure mod order was the same and that everything matched to a T. Game still wouldn't load for him - it would immediately kick him back to the main menu.

I've read the forums for the ImprovedUI that it might be the mod fixers that are interfering as Larion introduced something with the latest patch. We both deleted these fixers and still nothing.

I read into things a little more and found that the BG3 Mod Manager had an update that has been making things a little screwy with mods, especially the ImprovedUI as it sets it as an override and then disappears when you launch the game.

Fix might be to go back to the previous version (1.0.9.4) until this has been updated. Boyfriend also got rid of the mod manager completely and tried to just use Vortex. He was able to join the game, but then crashed a few minutes after. He reloaded and everything seemed fine.

Maybe these might help! We spent two hours trying to figure this out in order to play again, so best of luck!

Ty for all the feedback, we've tried downgrading both ImprovedUI and the BG3 Mod Manager and unfortunately still nothing, and yeah I did see BG3MM being a bit strange, like making the UI mod an overhaul, then after a refresh it was then in the list. Hopefully this will all just be an easy fix of updating stuff when the time comes :)

Okay so I finally got to try it today, and all I can tell you is : one of the mods you have makes it no work.
Probably about the fact that some mods have issue working together ?
For myself, I have mostly cosmetic : (tav hair salon, basket of clothing etc...) and it was basket of camp clothing that was making it impossible to play multiplayer for some reason.

We did it the hard way to know which one was causing this : turn all mods off, check if it works that way, and if it does, start adding mods one by one, seeing if you can connect. If one of them makes it not work, you got the culprit.

Still an issue for you?

If you use BG3 mod manager, look up for mods in yellow/orange that means they are still active even if they are in the disabled section, maybe you have some mods that are present that your friends don't have and you think the mods are disabled?

My friend and I are having this issue too. We spent 2 hours troubleshooting last night and couldn't get it to work.
