Crossplatform multiplayer not working?

[Uncooked burger]

Me (PC) and my friend (playstation) tried to play multiplayer together, but it is not working. We both have crossplay option turned on. As you try to connect to a game, error message says "different version" . It seems like a bug, since I dont think there is any way we even could have different versions? Does anybody else have this problem?

Did you ever figure this out? We're having the same problem but with PC & Switch. On sunday we tried it and it worked, but when we went to play today it keeps giving us the "different version" error.

Experiencing the same problem.

The various console versions haven't had the latest patch. The patch was submitted at the same time, but the various platform approvers haven't yet approved and/or released the patch to players. A workaround until that happens is for the PC version to switch to the Mac Beta branch, which is the same version as that of the consoles.

This did not work for me and my friend on his switch, we could never get around the "different version" error while I ran the Mac Beta version. Anyone figure this one out?

My friends are on Switch, and I was not able to join their game. I tried the Mac Beta version, and it didn't work.

None of the available Beta versions on PC match the console version of the game, rendering cross play unplayable currently. Hoping to hear a resolution from the devs soon

Same over here and before last upgrade it was working well with 2x PC 1x Switch and 1x PS5. No real problems - now with latest PC update and "waiting for console updates" ... not working any more. that s quite sad as before we had no problems. Really waiting heavily for a fix again.

Hey, I jumped to the official discord server now and saw there some news posted just yesterday. I copy-paste here:

This famous update I am repeating the word for way too much, announced on the 10th of November, is coming THIS WEEK.
And rolling out to PC, Mac, Xbox and PlayStation, thus bringing it to the same version as the Switch one - meaning cross-play should be working fine again.

so let's hope crossplay works still this week again.

Hi All,

A colleague (on MAC) and I (on PC) managed to complete a scenario a few weeks ago using the Mac_PC_BETA version but now we are facing the same problem of him not being able to connect after I invite him. Any suggestions? We tried going back to the original game and reloading the BETA version, but the problem persisted.

I've totally forgotten that I posted this, but to you kind strangers or any other people reading this thread:
- I did not come up with any solutions, problem disappeared by itself
- Most likely the problem had something to do with the game updates, which were rolled out separately on PC and PS, and thus the game versions were different.
- I have not experienced this bug after the first day or two.
-I survived nnn.
