Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Multiplayer Discussion multiplayer game with steam users and gog users

I haven't seen this issue discussed here at least recently.
it seems impossible to arrange a game with a gog user and a steam user , first u cant see the games each one opens as a host, and when you try direct connect u keep getting NATPunch 66 error.
IS there any kind of solution to this problem ? can it be solved in the future by a patch ?

nat error means your system is set up wrong... that has nothing to do with Steam or Gog

my friends also got the same error when ever one of us on gog tried to connect to a host by a player on steam or vice versa,we got that error. when all the players are on gog or steam there was no problem using direct connect.

I'm on gog galaxy in Australian and my pal is Steam in new York... we play about an hour last night before he had to call it for sleep

Now that's a long lag distance so I need a tunnel and Australian networks are a little different to US ones but we still manage to play

Yes Larian could do better

I think I figured it out, you MUST be in the Main Menu (menu choices on the left side of the screen, not in the middle), then click Multiplayer. I found my friend's game in the lobby.
Very confusing, not sure why it doesn't work when in Single Player mode clicking on Multiplayer.

i was in the main menu (starting page) and from there tried to connect, if host on steam I cant see him on the game list only users hosting on gog. and of course direct connect not working either
