Pawn's not updating in the rift

[Macro Tofu]

So I just found out with my friend that my pawn remained level 2 in the rift. It's level 70 in my game, same id. I recall I backed up my save and then restored it once when starting a new game was not available. That's all and I played online the whole time, and I have no idea how to fix this issue

Adding something. My pawn seemed had not issue to complete the quest I gave him, hunting a chimera etc., so he's being rented to other players, but strangely not available in the rift.

On the first game, to update a pawn it usually requires the player to sleep at an inn, this doesn't seems likely, but have you slept in the player house or at an inn yet?

1. Sleep at the inn
2. Compare IDs of what your friend is seeing at lvl 2 and your actual pawn. Messing with save files might've created a duplicate pawn, at least it does that now when "new game" button actually exists - unlike the 1st game where you always had one pawn and starting a new game and sleeping overwritten her, in DD2 it creates an entirely new instance for your pawn, so no knowledge transfer. When I started a new game, I could even find my old pawn myself.

If your pawn is modded it will remain locked at the last level it was legal.

The level 2 pawn and my level 70 pawn have the same id and name. When my friend searched my pawn's id, only the level 2 one showed up.

Are you using any mods? Save file editors?

Because this sounds like a softban to me.

I never used any mod, only restored my save once because I thought deleting saves manually might not be safe.

seems like a real issue. Same ID pawn but not updated on inn save

if you have the game or steam installed in program files or programfiles (x86) you might want to reinstall both somewhere else.

This is really sad, knowing all the pawn interaction I had and gift I sent didn't reach to the other players. I also collected over 220 tokens in my current game, but it seems I have to start a new game from scratch somehow to see if the problem solves.

can you give me pawn ID so i can help check? my friend messed/restored his save data and yet i can see 3 of his pawns, 1 one of them is up-to-date

[Jamation]

Assuming you've checked under Options > Network that you network features set to On? And Is your Main Pawn Online Access set to Friends/Anyone? If not it probably won't update online regardless of how many Inn saves you do

NG+
For anyone using the mod Transmogify or possibly even without it. Maybe even Functional pawns. When going into New Game Plus. Even though I had slept with 4 spells / full augments in the game after NG+ started. My second steam acc found my pawn with only mage flagaration no augments updated. After 2 inn saves I decided to remove all augments and only put flagaration spell, sleep once then reaugment fully and put in all 4 spells.
My pawn was then showing correctly in the rift for my second steam acc.

May not be those mods related and just a NG+ issue that I found. Those were just possible interaction mods or recent mods that could cause the issue.
