Companion DLC breaks multiplayer

Me and a friend were playing on our save and started to get major disconnect issues after he originally purchased the companion accessories dlc, like I would vanish on his end and no disconnect notification while on mine everything was frozen and his multiplayer tab said something about not being able to connect. He bought me the dlc in hopes that that may have been the issue but even then it still persisted and the only work around currently is to has the dlc disabled. I’ve seen alot of other people have the same issue while looking into the cause of the problem and honestly a little worried that something this game breaking to co-op hasnt been fixed yet.

It’s not the DLC itself, it’s the companion which causes these issues.

It works better if you don’t use the spotter module and without issues (at least for me and my mate) if you just don’t use the companion when playing multiplayer.

A fix should come with the next update(s) if I got Carni (CM) right.

In my public co-op map, the guests and I limit the use of the runner to pop it out to adjust it’s inventory after a big battle, on my map that is all there is just about (bragging), and the game doesn’t seem to crash as much.

I honestly forgot I had this post, it is 100% the dlc, i re-enabled it last week and we do not use the companions and my game crashed while without it everything happened the exact same and was fine. we have had multiple companions out with no problems countless times including recently.
