Mac OS / PC Multiplayer

Hi there, a question for Larian, but I'm not sure they are even here (I hear they have a forum). Regardless, I have a question regarding the multiplayer between PC and Mac users being broken in between Patch numbers. My understanding is that Patch #7 will be live sometime soon for MacOS - when that happens, will it be the current latest version of the PC game, which is 4.1.1.5932596? My current Mac version is 4.1.1.0something - quite a difference. If my friend turns off updates for BG3, when my Mac gets the update, will it be in sync? I honestly don't want any more updates to the game, ever, if it breaks the game for a two week window (without the ability for easy downgrades on the PC side).

yeah the desync of versions is such a killer. Me and my mate were going to start up a new game because he just recently purchased it and we couldn't play. Now i'm playing Zelda Echoes of Wisdom instead

Your friend could rollback and freeze their game version anytime, though.

Also there is not definite answer to your question, as in: there is no guarantee your game will be in sync soon and/or for long.

Would not be the first time Mac caught up, just for a hotfix on Windows to recreate disparity and Mac has to wait again.

Just have Windows user keep their frozen game version for multiplayer. That is by far the easiest.

Pretty sure updates aren't currently in sync.

@アンジェル how does a Windows user freeze their version? In the Steam settings, there is no setting to 'disable' the updates for the game, only for the disabling of 'automatic' updates. It implies that the game will still check for updates when running.

Mmmm I guess @ tags don't work here
