Can't play with my friend on Patch 7 (which sucks because it came out on the day I finally bought this game!) but after we both reverted to Patch 6 via steam we can game just fine. I'm waiting on a bugfix or some kind of acknowledge of this from the devs.

There's a workaround where you need the non-host player(s) to fully exit Steam (not just exit to tray, a full exit out of Steam), go into the game's file path where the game is located (example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common/Baldurs Gate 3), find the Launcher folder, and then run the LariLauncher directly from that folder instead.
Launch the game and then enter the host player's direct joining code.

This is the only way we've been able to get multiplayer to work until this issue gets fixed.

This does, indeed, work. Thank you for sharing!
