(XBOX GAME PASS PC) Cant play Co Op

[\\Wolfy]

I cannot play with my friend on the gamepass, wich i guess is because of the gamertag system. I saw on the steam version you can't have any special characters in your name, while in the xbox platform you get numbers, and a hashtag between those and your name. (It costs 10 bucks to change your name!)

I just can't get the game to launch in co op mode, she can join the lobby, and we both ready up and then nothing happends. Anyone got a suggestion on how to make it work? Thanks.

They said they fixed the gamertagg issue on the xbox app, but they ignored the crossplay request

Gamepass

yes its the special character problem. but what you can do is to have the game pass user either rename the account or create a new account and then only logging in to that new account in the xbox app.
So the game will get the license from the windows store(where he needs to be logged in to his normal account, owning the game pass) and then get the username from the xbox app, where he can be logged in with his new account.

Thats how I did it.

Wow, that works? I'll give that a try. Thanks!

FYI, this was fixed in the patch last week. It should just work now.
Multiplayer now works with newer gamer tags containing the #'s.

The workaround above means you won't earn achievements on your main account.
There is no need to do this anymore.
