Pet Runner causing crashes in MP on PC

Deployed pet runner and friend deployed her pet runner, both equipped with ballistic armor, rocket launcher and spotter module, my friend was hosting the session, any time we entered combat one of us would have a game crash, if I crashed my friend would still see me in her game and my pet, if she crashed I would still see her in my game and her pet, we tried only having the hosts pet out but the same happened as soon as we entered combat one of us would crash. Its frustrating to say the least, reminds me of when the motorbikes were released, we dont use those now, so it was pretty pointless buying the dlc, I hope its not the same for the runners.
Restarted my game and now I do not have a dog at all, tried to go to a repair station at the airfield and my game crashed.
Restarted game again and the dog is back, but we cannot play together we just keep crashing when combat starts.
