Does multiplayer work?

[bark bark]

Does it work now??? After all this time I been waiting I hope they atleast improved it....

[EvilBash420]

3 month whitout patch .............. They suck ! We got like 500 bugs + still waiting !

[bark bark]

That really does suck..... They release a game on steam and say they going to update it, even IN the game it says theyll add a multiplayer system. These guys are ♥♥♥♥♥♥. But still doesn't change my love from back when it was FIRST released.

hes prob on about the "steam" versions BGEE's multiplayer
whenever we click on multiplayer it says there will be an update, and that a dedicated server from beamdog will allow us to host/join multiplayer games without having to get ip's from friends and what not

(basically what they do with CoD/TF servers when you want to play againest/with other people

Try using Evolve. I tried it yesterday and it worked after the second time.

yes works fine for me . even the export option works .

That sucks. My BG:EE multiplayer seems to work fine (mostly), but I am playing over a LAN, maybe that's why.

I have a hamachi network set-up for my girlfriend and I and we can play with no problem now.

Speaking of multiplayer, apparently the version of BGEE you can download through Beamdog automatically updates... thus preventing people using Steam and Beamdog seperately from playing together. Does anyone know how to fix this? I want to play with a friend, but it says her game is not up to date every time I try and host. So either her game or my game is out of date. Does anyone know how to fix this?

maryjane, to quote a moderator from Beamdog forums:

It's worth noting that the Steam version of the game is a couple patches behind the Beamdog version. So two things:

First, a number of multiplayer bugs have been fixed by now that might not be fixed for the Steam release.

Second (and kind of related), unless all of the players are playing the Steam version, you won't be able to start a multiplayer game because the versions are different.

I think you'll have to wait till Beamdog resolve this issue themselves. A solution was promised some time ago, but the developers have yet to deliver.

somewhere over the rainbow there is a leprechaun saying "ill donate me wee pot'o'gold when steam's BG:EE will get updated :P

My cousins and my uncle and I have even still been trying to play multiplayer, multiple ways. Anyway you can think of we have most likly tried. It doesn't seem like they will ever update the steam version because of their lazy asses, really disapointing for anyone who hasn't bought the game yet. Do not buy it for the multiplayer. Even in singleplayer it is really buggy, never has been when I played BG before steam release a couple years back. Don't know what they did but they are screwing it up.
