Multiplayer issues, won't load

[Zords[ESP]]

When I try to join a friend it stays on the loading screen at 0% and in a few seconds I get a connection error, that game already has plays like 10h and we created it to play the 2 of us, last night the game kicked it out game and then ami and since then there is no way to connect, if we create a new game it won't let me either and for my part if I try to join another player's game it won't let me either, does this happen to anyone or know why????

Not enough information. It could be on your side or their side.
Start with both restarting their router and given IP by the ISP. Then check again. Make screenshots of the error messages.

I did the router thing and restarted it and even reinstalled the game and the problem continues, as for the error, the "connection" error simply appears and when you try to join a game in the lower right part you have a % that indicates the status load, because it stays at 0% and I tried to join other rooms and the same thing happened to me, so the problem must be me, I don't know if this will be enough for you to help me, I don't know how to put a photo but the message that It shows "Connection failure" in another game I have no problem and until yesterday morning I could play online without problems

Have either of you modded your game? I had a few mods and had to do a clean install to be able to join my buddies game.

[Zords[ESP]]

no, my friend can play with other people, I already reinstalled the game twice and nothing

The thread is so old - what you have is a different issue, most likely.

we tried to connect ingame by searching friend lobby and it didn´t work either or is that still connected to steam?

I already posted this in a very simmilar discussion with the same problem...
Maybe this works for you! Just try it out. If your friends are not launching the game over steam (direct via lariLauncher/GOG/etc.) it would explain why only you have the issue!

Guys it is really simple. Close Steam completely, get into your Steam Installation files (Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Launcher) and start the LariLauncher from there. It opens BG3 without starting steam. Then you start your multiplayer Session and invite your friend via direct link code.

Yes.... its that easy and took us way to long to figure out...

[Rena_no_Itami]

also thank you for your fast respond

You do not even need the LariLauncher for that. The direct link code you would get either way, regardless if starting with or without Steam.

I dont understand this take? You somehow need to start the game? If you do it via steam, it doesnt work. if you do it via lariLauncher it does. Is there any other way to launch the game?

Directly using the executable. Either with or without Steam, you can get the direct connect code.

[Rena_no_Itami]

thank you it worked with the code <3

But like there is literally no difference between launching the two bins and launching them via lariLauncher.
I believe my take via lari launcher is more user friendly, since it puts you in the same, known interface which you would get when pressing the "Play" Button on Steam but without the issue (Many of us even have a larian Account logged in there)
But yes. Your solution also works. I just put my take in this discussion so the users have a program path they can follow.
