    You can use hamachi for multiplayer if needed, it works.

    I don't like the idea of using Hamachi. We bought this game to able to play in multiplayer. I have to try again the download again for my wife, because it was not working yesterday and look if we can play together. If not, we will ask for a repay. (As I look around in the old and new bugs section it seems that this game is more failing anyway, as the original one.)

    Agreed. I'm pretty pissed that my girlfriend and I can't play together. Both of us crash when we go to connect and I shouldn't have to use extra software to get it working. You can't release a game without telling your customers that the entire multiplayer component is broken. I'm extremely disappointed in the developers.

    You're right I don't like this idea either ! But I just tried to give him a solution. The fact is that even with Hamachi we couldn't play Multiplayer well because it's fuckin' buged as hell ! Hope they fix it really soon. I still have to make a multiplayer playthrough on my Youtube channel and I can't ! *sick*

    I don't like using something as intrusive as Himachi either and it doesn't really work with more than 2 party members now anyway.

    Guys...give it time so the developers can update it. Being disappointed will not make the game get patched any quicker.

    The developers are aware and, are trying to patch it accordingly. I have checked the twitter pages of the developers. They know.

    This is true, yet it shouldn't have happened. A 2.5 month extension announced almost on the eve of release, followed by a pre-load that doesn't actually do what a pre-load should (ie. allow you to play instantly on release) and then multiplayer that doesn't work?

    I bought the game twice so my friend and I could slay in heroic style and I'm damned if I'm going to play without her.

    It had better be worth the extra...extra wait.

    Myself and my friend had some issues. We had to enable port-forwarding on the router from 47630 UDP to the host machine and open up both our software firewalls (Comodo and Windows respectively for 47630 UDP for Baldur.EXE. Worked okay (though not perfectly) after that but when we tried to get a third player in it all went to hell. Got an email from the Dev team, seems that any more than 2 players is bugged beyond belief and won't sync properly if at all. They are working on it though.

    There's also a bizarre crash on being unable to connect to a server. It's like the game throws a tantrum and just CTDs or goes non-responsive if it can't initially make the connection.

    They took an additional quarter of development above the original promised release date. No problem there, I understand. The point is it should've been launch worthy after spending that additional time and already pocketing the money of all of us who pre-orderd.

    There is absolutely no way they were unaware of most of the bugs still present when they finaly released it. All a tester would've had to do is try to connect with 3 ore more party members and the biggest bug would've shown itself. It happened to 9 different people / systems in my party in exactly the same way. They either knew about this and released it anyway, or did absolutely no testing. I don't know which would be worse.

    It's all about the situation, and I know cursing about it in the forum wont rush fixing the problem. The facts are that the community I play with are like this. We play this now (multiplayer) and get comfortable with the game or forever be the game that was a waste of money or worst, seek money back. A game that will never be played even if a patch comes to fix all issues. Unfortunatly, that's the community of gamers I hang around with and I'm pretty sure it's very much the same everywhere esle.

    I also bought this new BG only for multiplayer games with friend, why devs didint tell that this is not working ;/

    2 players worked ok. When a third tried to join nothing worked.

    I'm having the exact same issue with a friend. It's inexcusable to release a product without having tested multiplayer with two people. Have the devs given any ETA as to when it will be resolved?

    I dont know if anyone else noticed, but it seems like multiplayer is in beta still.
