I had to give up on the Switch version. There's a bug where enemy moves start taking like a minute to process. Tried reinstalling etc but the problem persists. It's a shame, because the port is otherwise a great way to play the game.
@Crispe Are you sure? I finished the game like a week or two ago and had no such issues.
@AndyD you could always look for online builds such as this one: https://fextralife.com/divinity-original-sin-2-builds-stormch...
this site has loads of guides. My top recommendation though? Don't be scared to use "Lone Wolf". It's a talent you can pick to reduce your party size to gain advantages. If the game is a bit overwhelming at first, you can try picking it up.
@Dusk Yeh I haven't read the issue happening to anyone else so its a shame. It got real bad at one of the fights in the cemetary in chapter 2. Even reloading an earlier save and making my way to the fight again led to the same problem.
@Dusk Thanks for piping up. Was worried after reading the comment by @Crispe. I bought the physical edition, but I guess I’ll just have to hope I don’t meet any game-crushing bugs.
Got to actually start playing first, though. I’m looking forward to it, but The Witcher III is just so long! After 100hrs, I’m still only about halfway. Might be a while before I start another long WRPG this year. When I do, it’ll be Divinity: OS2.
@Dusk@AndyD@Crispe I didn't have the long enemy movement issue either, although I'm still pretty early in the game. ~15 hours in. I initially started out with a full party, but being a newb, I found it very overwhelming trying to manage everyone. I switched to a Lone Wolf party which has been much more fun and straightforward. If I ever finish this game, Witcher 3 is next on my list, well after Xenoblade, and other unannounced games...
@NotoriousWhiz Lone Wolf Playthrough - best playthrough, really.
Though you might want to increase the difficulty at some point (you can use the gift bag mods, no need for actual replay)
Lone Wolf is a solid build for sure. But I also recommend a party of 4 for the first playthrough as some of the party member quests and conversation options are great.

Very important, really. and if you're going lone wolf, at least pick two origin characters and not custom ones
This game is awesome! Already put 25 hours into it. Not sure I do the best choices all the time, but hey... The game really rewards you for paying attention to the dialogues and lore, but it also lets you be a real a-hole if you want to. 😋 But I try to be civil as long as possible. Playing as Ifan, and having The Red Prince, Fane and Lohse as supporting characters. Just received the Purging Wand, so it's time to help the Seekers and leave this place!
Missed the LRG pre-order, but luckily a Swedish online retailer are importing and selling many of the LRG titles new and sealed, including Divinity 2. It was a bit expensive, but worth it.
I dunno if anyone is still playing this game in 2024, but I had an issue with the Steam cross-saving function, and I wanted to share how I solved it, in case anyone else has the same problem.
The issue came up constantly when I first played the game on PC in Steam, saved it there, and then returned to it on the Switch. When I started the game on Switch, I always got a message saying my local save files are newer than files in the Steam cloud, even though they shouldn't be since the last time I saved it was on my PC. Then I had to choose whether to upload my local files to the Steam cloud or to download the cloud files to my Switch. But regardless of which option I chose, the local files on the Switch often got corrupted and the game would constantly crash when I tried to load the most recent save file, the one I had uploaded to Steam on my PC.
As far as I can tell, the problem is because I have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, and the NSO also uploads all my saves to a cloud server and downloads them from there when I start a game. So you have both the Steam cloud and the NSO cloud trying to download what they think are the most recent saves of the game and apparently this creates a conflict between the two, resulting in the aforementioned crashes and corrupted files.
The solution to the problem is really simple, since you can turn off the NSO cloud for each individual game you have on the Switch. So go to Settings -> Data Management -> Save Data Cloud -> Settings -> Settings for Each Save File. There you can turn off cloud saving for Divinity 2. After doing this I've been able to keep the save files on my PC and Switch in sync without any issues on the latter. And you won't need the NSO cloud as a backup for this game, since you're already automatically saving everything to the Steam cloud.
