Multiplayer DCed during last battle and unable to rejoin

[Tamaza]

We got to the end of the game tonight and my sister DCed during the cut scene after the final boss. I tried to reinvite her but she gets a message that she can only rejoin me after a long rest. We get the same message with all of the saves I've made since we started the final fight. Is this intentional? I would rather not repeat the whole gauntlet going all the to the netherbrain.

Of course it is not intentional.

I sent in a bug report with the save files attached. If anyone else is unlucky enough to have the same issue we discovered a work around. I loaded a save from before the morphic pool, added the second player, then loaded the most recent save file. This loaded without issue.

Great. Thanks for sharing.

Me and my gf have this bug, on our honour mode game, so we dont have another save sadly, we are screwed. And just before the last fight too.

Larian, fix this!

When you start the mission to go to fight the nether-brain, when you first get on that skiff to cross the water the game warns you that no players will be able to join your game from this point forward. That means if anyone from your multiplayer team drops from the game you can no longer simply invite them back to that game.

I recommend once they drop do a quick save and then load a save from BEFORE you started to head to the brain. Then once they join just load up your latest save which will be at the point they dropped...

My brother and I are having this issue many times and it's making it impossible to finish the campaign together. Everytime we get loaded back into the fight with the brain and the crown, suddenly I get knocked back to the main menu with a message "connection to the server has timed out". My brother runs the game from his PC since he started it but we stay connected via steam and discord so we are at a loss on why we keep dropping.

I wish there was no restriction to inviting players back into the game if they drop out. It wouldn't be so bad then...

Thank GOD I found this thread. I was about to lose my mind. Been playing with a friend for COUNTLESS months at this point and we're at the final stretch and they sadly crashed. I was about to be upset if we had to do it all over again and just PRAY another crash didn't happen.

Yeah my friends and I have been in an 8 month game on Honour mode, and the message before the morphic pool said 'No NEW players can join' so I thought we'd still be able to join if we stopped playing.

Just got to this issue on my co-op with my brother, and it is insane that they seriously do not let you just rejoin on the last fight.

It's even more insane when you take into account how easy it is to bypass this issue. Like just don't implement this restriction at all.

Found a fix if anyone else is having the problem.
1) Load all the way back to a save BEFORE getting on the skiff.
2) Go to camp. Long Rest, Leave Camp
3) Friends join
4) Load save back at the last segment.

This was already posted in the thread earlier on.

Just load an older save, invite, then load the campaign where you're at the end.
