Recent multiplayer save now crashing after both parties have patched. Neither of us use mods. I tried to upload the dump file it created, but it says file not allowed. Running windows 10 on a laptop, with core I5 and Geforce Gtx 950M.

    Yeah I've got the same issue. Wasted a good hour and a half trying to get it to work. Such a waste of a potentially awesome session.

    I just tried a separate multiplayer match with a different friend and the same thing happened. Worked perfectly well last week. Running Windows 1- desktop, i7 and Geforce GTX 780

    I was having crashing issues on save in SOD, primarily after getting and leveling the new archer flaming fist girl and again with the red wizard guy. I fixed it by loading the game into single player getting past the problem then saving successfully and then multiplayer has been good since with no more issues.

    Same problem here, any news/help?

    I can confirm acid chalk's workaround does work, at least with my all-custom party. All my multiplayer saved games would crash on save/area transition after the latest patch, but shifting them from the mpsave folder to the save folder allowed me to continue in single player with my party intact, with saving and area transitions no longer crashing. Does anyone know if this works with multiple players (as opposed to a single player with all 6 slots filled)?

    I play with multiple players, after getting past the problem area i was able to move the save back and continue with my friends and we have since not had this issue again.

    well crap i spoke too soon it's happening again...

    These file swaps are interesting. Unfortunately, when I tried moving my saved games the other way, into the mpsave folder, the crashing upon saves or area transitions continues, even though I moved to a different area while in single player mode. I guess I'll finish out the series in single player, using a party created in multiplayer before the crashing issues emerged. Hope the MP issues get fixed in the next update. Good luck Acidchalk!

    For anyone experiencing multiplayer crashes when starting or saving please refer to the below.
    Thanks

    It appears multiplayer does not like the "None" script. While we look at fixing this please try the workaround;
    - If playing in English, set all character scripts to another value (and disable AI if required)
    - If playing in another language, start in English. Change AI to another value. Save, restart in preferred language.
