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?
I think you all need to be playing the same version to play together.
The smart one among you, the one who pirated, has a headstart. The rest of you need to get your act together, pirate it, and then use something like Hamachi to simulate a LAN environment. This will allow you to play online together without having to pay for it.
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)
Absolutely not. Tailscale is witchcraft.
The game is DRM free. Nothing is stopping you.
just get GOG version and you can just direct connect to your lobby with code
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.
Assuming it’s GoG just play… verify your installer though
