Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Applying direct connectivity failed.

Yesterday I started playing campaign with my friend via direct connectivity since he bought game on GoG and me on steam. Today I can't turn on direct connection it says that failed applying it. Help ?

Just created an account to say I have the same problem.

I've been playing with two friends since yesterday through Direct Connect since I bought the game on GOG, whilst they bought it on Steam, so our lobbies aren't visible to eachother.

Today's outage is essentially preventing us from continuing together. Is there any ETA for this service returning?

Been having the exact same issue.
Seems like they are aware of it and trying to get it sorted out though.

Hopefully the fix will happen soon, but it's been 12 hours or so already so who knows.

My friends and I were having this issue as well. Looks like everyone overloaded their servers (not sure why they would host servers for this in the first place instead of just implementing actual direct connections, but that's beside the point). We were able to play over the LAN option by using evolve vpn (link below). Hamachi would probably work just as well, or any other vpn like that.
