Greetings,

me and my friend are trying to play a modded BG2 game over Network, however, we've had some issues lately, one of which causes the character models of the other person to disappear on one's screen, whenever the game is saved.
We've done some testing, and eventually found out that the issue was being caused by the Throne of Bhaal Extender mod, but we cannot locate the component responsible for the problem, and would appreciate any help that can be offered.

Here are my logs:

WeiDU:

TobEx:

TobExCore:

TobExTweak:

Edit:
Ok, it seems we found a way to resolve the issue. In the ToBExCore.ini file, if you set the value for Expanded Stats=1 to 0, the problem is gone. Could anybody look into this and/or explain to me what this line in the file actually does?

Thanks a lot.

I have had the same problem as well, Turning off Expanded Stats seems to work but I too would like more information on what it does and if this is a new bug.

Maybe a new bug, I am not sure.
Can I clarify if you both played games with someone else who is using a different computer? A related question is, does this also occur if you play a networked game all by yourself on one computer?

I've had this happen when playing online with someone else on another PC, yes. Players only lose sight of other players, so it should be fine playing networked alone.
IESDP's last stats.ids entry is AVATARREMOVAL, lol! Probably nothing to do with it, just random funny.

Yes this only happens when you play multiplayer with someone else on a different computer. I imagine it wouldn't matter if you played a network game alone on one computer since the bug only makes characters in the party that your friend is controlling invisible. Taking control of the character makes them temporarily visible again until the next save?.

Maybe not as random as you think. This stat information gets moved to a different memory location, so perhaps something is lost in 'network' translation. I need to get all this gear on another computer to test.

Fixed. There was some issues sending the stats information over the network.
