Can't play with friends who have DLC

[Yega]

Previously our friend had the prelude DLC and he would host and two of us would play with him, despite neither of us owning the DLC.

We tried to play today and it wouldn't let us join because Prelude was activated.

Can we no longer play with just one of the DLCs?

We ended up not playing at all and if this was intentionally I don't think we will play again.

Same happened with me. This worked before but not now. We tried to play a private game and it kept saying the game had been declined.

Can confirm the same issue, friends immediately get a declined message. This is disappointing as all other Asmodee games only require one player to own the DLC. Hopefully it is just a bug :)

Same here. Waiting to hear if this is a permanent change or a bug.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent sale of the Company? Possible they want everyone to buy DLC now. Would be nice to get some clarification from DEVS. Not keen on asking friends to buy the DLC if they don't have to.

[Mostly Harmless]

Confirmed and not happy.

We're seeing this too. Two players on PC, and two players on iPad OS;
- the iPad OS players were getting the error: "Ignored the invitation because prelude something something darkside."
- On iOS (on their phones) they can log in and join our games no problem.
- on PC, as the game creator, we see: "The player has declined"

Not that it will help much, but I have sent Asmodee a customer support email asking for clarification. To suddenly force players to all own the DLC is a bit shady. Hopefully they don't do the same for Talisman and Gloomhaven.

Someone claimed it was acknowledged as a new bug that would be fixed. I'm sure you're all holding your breath. Honestly I expect this will get fixed in a medium length of time, and the fix will come with a whole new set of bugs!

just amazing how a relatively simple game (compared to standard PC games) can have so many bugs

The Bug with the Generous Host mechanic was just corrected in the mini patch

The truly amazing part is not how many bugs were initially there, but how some persist, others come and go, and so many news ones get generated over time. I've claimed it is a social experiment to see how poor a product can be made and still get positive reviews because what it is supposed to be based on is so great. The meta game is now to find the new bugs in each update!
