In the end, this may be a good thing as progression through the campaign and any experience/loot you acquire is only saved to the host’s game, meaning anyone who joins you will not reap the rewards of their efforts back on their side. Four players are supported through mods to the game, using the Divinity Toolkit that comes with it, but so far there aren’t any mods with that feature. The final product, however, only supports up to two for the entirety of the game’s campaign. Originally, we were told Divinity: Original Sin would support up to four players online or through a LAN connection. Certain elements are instantly familiar to anyone who’s played D&D (or possibly even Baldur’s Gate), but for many other players, it may feel a bit like jumping into Dark Souls for the first time.

You could try setting the game to run in windowed mode, by editing the file below in a text editor and changing the one to a zero in Fullscreen="1".Ĭ:\Users\\AppData\Local\Divinity 2\Profile\graphicoptions.It’s good that there isn’t extensive handholding and Larian allows players to experience much for themselves, however, a little more pointing in the right direction would go a long ways towards making the game more approachable. One person in Win 7 reported getting past a hanging loading screen by switching to XP SP2 mode and disabling Desktop Composition.ĭid you try changing graphics options, etc (in the advanced graphics options, maybe try disabling 'Use multicore' or enabling 'Lockstep mode').

Right click the executable, select Properties, switch to the Compatibility tab and check off the option to run as administrator, and try XP compatibility mode, or something.

Try starting the game directly from the '.\divinity2_dev_cut\bin' folder: Divinity2.exe is the normal mode, while Divinity2-debug.exe has the optional 'Developer Mode' cheat menu.

When it hangs, did you try exiting the game using Alt-F4?Īre you shutting down all non-essential programs (especially anti-virus) before starting the game? Firewalls have also caused conflicts during loading screens.
