Infinite loading

[Formous]

Title. When I play with a friend, with mods, we are frequently running into a infinite loading screen bug. The bug is inconsistent, happening at times from either reloading a save, or progressing to a region. It also might not even happen at the same points in time. For example, entering Joy for the first time caused this bug to occur, while after a restart, the bug did not happen. Ive played with all these mods before, so I can't really ascertain what is causing this bug.

Happened to me too, with a buddy of mine. Playing with mods, but much less than the ones we used on our Classic playthrough, etc, and the issue never came up back then. It would hang at about 80% of the bar, and not progress any further. The only "fix" was having the joining player leave, which would instantly have the game load for the host. Then the quitting player could join via an invite which would skip a bunch of loading, or something like that.

My friend ended up getting too annoyed by it, it seemed to have a 1 in 3 chance of happening whenever a loading screen, I.E from a save, would come up. At first we thought it was just quicksaves causing the problem, and it seemed to be, so we started using hardsaves, but the problem sprung back up.

Looked for fixes, but only found posts dating from like 2016 and 2017, so it was limited in actual helpfulness. The game itself seems fine when playing in singleplayer, but now it seems to mess up multiplayer by preventing players loading in.

It's probably mod related, I guess. Can't be bothered disabling each mod one by one to find out, and my friend has already given up playing with me anyway

Pretty much describes my situation exactly. But I didn't know about the guest leaving and rejoining so both host and guest had to shut down the game.

I think it has to do with a syncing problem.

This issue has been reported a handful of times since the last game update. There is currently another game update being prepared, with fixes for other mod issues, at least (not sure if this is the same underlying problem).

If you have a save where this is fairly reproducible, please email it (or a Dropbox or Google drive link, etc) to [e-mail]. Also include a list of any non-Larian mods enabled (or previous used in that playthrough) and/or the modsettings.lsx file from your profile folder (the latter only includes the currently enabled mods).
Each save is a folder in the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\PlayerProfiles\<ProfileName>\Savegames\Story' folder.
In Windows Explorer you can zip a file or folder by right clicking on it/them and selecting 'Send To | Compressed (zipped) Folder' (and similarly in OSX/Finder).

Afraid I can't reproduce it at command. It happens without any obvious triggers. Just hangs up at loading screens randomly.

I have this same exact issue and I can reproduce it with basically any mod, my friends and I literally cannot play multiplayer with mods because every 2 saves that we do ends up with an infinite loading screen. We've tried with even with one mod (feenex) and with one of Odin's with Odin's Core. This only happens exactly every 2 saves for us which is strange and of course one of us leaving will allow the game to load fully.

I'm having the issue as well theres no way to make it happen on purpose.
