Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Cannot connect to / Host multiplayer on GOG-STEAM

game v3.0.141.999

- my side - GOG version
- friends side - STEAM version
- both sides got UPnP enabled on routers
- both sides see game list appropriate to GOG/STEAM
- firewalls temporary disabled for testing purposes
- both sides got error connecting to global chat in pre-create screen
- both sides can connect to their platform public games

Hosting game by me (GOG):
1. creating game
2. open connectivity screen
3. setting everyone allowed to connect
4. unchecking LAN connections - OK
5. checking Direct Connections - error (Changing direct connections failed)
6. sending friend direct connection server id - friend got error
7. sending friend my public IP - friend got error

exactly same thing when friend (STEAM) hosts game and I try to connect

HELP!

Same problem occurs for me. Me and my steam friend can not play with my GOG friend. Please fix this error asap. It is such an irritating thing.

Larian stated that its a problem they are investigating. So be patient.

What you can do however is what I and my friend did when we wanted to play together on saturday.

Use vpn based app https://www.evolvehq.com. Follow the instructions how to set it up and you will be able to play with your friends on a LAN through vpn connection. Its free and a solution until Larian fixes the problem.

Enjoy

Can we please get some kind of update on this.

This is a serious issue for me and my friends, who apparently made the huge mistake of buying the game through Steam and GOG separately.

Maybe it's just a bug, maybe it's not. But not being able to play with our friends because of where you bought a game is ridiculous.

Using a third part LAN spoofer is not the solution. I've used Evolve before and it introduces a ridiculous amount of lag making it incredibly frustrating to use.

Do we have an ETA for when this should be working?
