Do I need dlc for multiplayer?
Never really see many public games even with crossplay on. Is this because I don't have dlc? Or is multiplayer normally this dead?

Crossplay on the other hand, is a lot less nice. It's not actually crossplay. That's a very misleading name for it.
What you're doing instead, is switching from Steamworks (the service that everyone plays on) to Epic Online Services. The frameworks are incompatible with one another, so if you're using EOS, you cannot play with people using Steamworks, and vice versa.
