MP is p2p and hasnt been abandonded

The game is finished (2 years ago now), not abandoned.

There are no MP servers, it's all between players. And pretty much all MP nowadays is organized on a Discord channel between specific people, not randoms in lobbies, it's never been a big scene.

(that said, yeah - sometimes the MP system goes down entirely. Don't know much about that, just that people complain about it once in awhile. You'd have better luck looking on the official Paradox BT forums.)

I've had the game since backing it on kickstarter 2015. In all the time owning it, I've never played a multiplayer match. I have a good feeling I'm not the minority for never playing multiplayer.

As wesnef said, if you want to play multiplayer join the discord and you can set up a match!

Multiplayer seems to have been completely non functioning for over a week now.
Posts to the Paradox bug forum have been ignored so far.

Sorry but is yet another can you really say what you mean with the title of the thread moment.

Game abandoned makes it sound like games devs must stay on 1 project forever, which is a silly idea, A games goes from drawing boards through development gets support and updates for a reasonable period. but that stops and the game is still in use still on sale and no its not abandoned its just finished as a product.

what you really wanted to know was is the online multiplayer having problems?.

How do you do P2P multiplayer? Whenever I hit create game nothing happens.

Same problem here. Hopefully it is just a temporary problem with the servers, if they actually axed them for good, I would be very disappointed. Multiplayer was one of things I wanted to try a bit more, and the only reason why I bought a second license for the game, so that I can borrow the other one to a friend.

A game has to be identified as 'abandoned' so if and when a developer releases a DLC, the Everything-should-be-free mob and the Must-use-mods crew can vent

MP was virtually unused since day 1

because most people play this single player its a tactical wargame.

You may not have noticed but Multiplayer is "Literally" dead at this time. Has not worked in a few weeks now. ( been a few days since I last checked ) As to whether the game is Finished or abandoned is just a matter of perception to a new person checking in the fact that the game is no longer supported can give the impression of it being abandoned.

Er, not really. The game is fully featured and playable from start to finish in every game mode except for multiplayer (which, as others pointed out, was ALWAYS very sparsely-populated).

Also, services such as Parsec or Hamachi should still allow for MP play, I believe.

The only people who might think the game was "abandoned" would be people who would *only* purchase the game for multiplayer...but there's so far no evidence that such a person exists. ;)

The game seems really fun to me, I hope they make a Battletech 2.

Doesn't the game's debug mode have something like connect by IP inbuilt? Way too lazy to check myself.
