Ok, so my friends and I wanna play Baldur’s Gate 3 together. Now, almost all of us bought the game via Steam, and one friend acquired the game in a ‘non-standard’ way. How do we make multiplayer work?
just get GOG version and you can just direct connect to your lobby with code
The game is DRM free. Nothing is stopping you.
Pretty sure even pirated copies can make a Larian account and add friends thru that.
I had it on GOG and played with my Steam friends via the code for the session, i imagine it would work? But i may be terribly wrong on this, so dont take my word on this
Have you tried just giving the friend MP code and them joining through it? Worked for me without any zerotier, so it could be repack dependent. I used the GOG version.
Fake a LAN connection? I’ve played with someone using an unusual acquisition method and bg3 literally just let it happen over lan, 0 fucks given and no work around. That was about a year ago, though.
I know my cousin and his friends used hamachi back in the day, if setting up your own vpn network is too much work that might be a solution.
Tailscale or Zerotier are the current best options I think.
Dunno if hamachi is still around but that’s what I used to play pirated games over lan !
Use zerotier/tailscale to set up a VPN/VLAN between your desktops with almost no effort (think modern day hamachi)
Yup, zerotier works surprisingly well for stuff like this.
Yeah, I was going to suggest a spoofed LAN connection like the others did, but also if possible just doing a real LAN connection makes BG3 sooooo fun.
