It'll work they said.
Unfortunately, it does not. While I enjoyed it when I played the game at a younger age, I was hoping this would be a good game for myself and other friends to play. Doesn't work. Is Hamachi really the only way to go? If so, then there's some serious issues that Beamdog needs to fix for advertising. Multiplayer is NOT easy, and barely works if at all.

I've been able to join most BG 2 EE games, but I haven't tried hosting since for some reason I can't host any game.
I haven't tried BG EE yet, mostly because direct connect only multiplayer games never work for me.

We started, went into multiplayer, protocols, set it to Beamdog, went back to the main menu, then back into multiplayer and it should load the Beamdog lobby, up the top is create game, one makes a game, then it should appear in the list...
Are you both on the PC? It's meant to be cross platform but I'm not sure how well that works.
So far it's been easy and without trouble.
I recommend it.
Make sure that no one creates or selects their character until everyone has joined. Once everyone has joined, turn off "Listen to Join Requests" in the Permissions screen to make sure that no one else disrupts your game.
If that still doesn't work, let us know.
