Patch 6 mulitplayer honor mode>Joining failed: you can't join this game until the host takes a long rest.

[chill]

My partner and I were in the upper city final push of act 3, I don't believe there's any long rests left in the game. We went to play today and I'm not able to join his game, I keep getting the message "Joining failed: you can't join this game until the host takes a long rest"
Has anyone else had this issue or knows of a potential workaround? Or do you know if I would still get the gold dice if he finishes the playthrough on his own? Would hate to sacrifice a solid honor mode run this close to the finish line!
Thanks!

Your friend should be the one posting as you don't really have the relevant information needed to analyze the problem.

Unless one or both are using Mods. Then all bets are off.

I haven't played honor mode yet, what do you mean there's no long rests left in the game?

If you're out of resources, you should able to buy as many as you like, if you rent the room in the elfsong tavern.

Once you start the final push to the Brain, it is all Red-Zone. There are a couple of early Restoration points. And there are one or two Potions that will do it. But no normal Long Rests are available.

I didn't think the gold dice would pop for multiplayer hm? Is that confirmed somewhere?

[chill]

Neither of us are using mods, or have ever installed mods in the game. We did both install the new patch before launching today. We play on desktops literally right next to each other (so any additional info needed I have access to). His multiplayer lobby is open correctly, when I click to join it I receive the error message that I can't join the game until he is in a long rest (which is not possible at this point in the game). I see that other people have had this issue since the update over on Reddit but no updates on a solution yet! ;(

Ah well. Can only report it to Larian Studios and hope for a quick fix. Multiplayer in BG3 has always been a bit touchy. So it is probably something simple.

I am assuming here that you both have a legit copy of BG3 and are not trying to skirt around the single user limit.

I've read sources claiming that support has confirmed that those participating in multiplayer honor modes will receive gold dice and from people who have completed multiplayer honor modes. No clue if just popping into the game counts,being there the whole time but not for the final fight, etc counts though!

Definitely legit copies, both bought 2 separate copies of the game through steam and played through a few multiplayer games. Definitely joined in act 3 upper city last night, pre-patch with no issues haha You're not wrong on the bugginess, it adds a unique extra challenge to multiplayer honor modes. We almost lost the game to a bug once already. I've reported it, I'm sure their workload is always higher after a patch release but I'll update on a solution/dice status when they do

This worked for me: "we loaded older save joined there and than loaded latest save since we was already in lobby together"

Do you maybe still have a "Potion of Angelic Slumber" left? If yes, maybe try that?

Honour mode, can't go back in saves.

[Dragontsuki]

I'm also having the same issues. Can't join a friend's game "until the host takes a long rest", which he did... and nothing. Also playing on honor mode so we can't load a previous save. We don't use mods and we both have the game legitimately through Steam.

Edit: We were in a red zone (start of Act 3 Astral Prism fight), he did the fight on his own, took ANOTHER long rest, and then I was able to enter the game.

[Starlord]

Running into the same issue. pls let me know if you find a fix

[Felbrovia]

Oh god we made it all the way to the final boss before the patch. Trying to connect and running into the same issue. Not worth the random kisses - Larian please fix.
