Three player multi DOESN'T WORK?!

After numerous attempts to get a three player game going, and having tried port forwarding, restarting, etc. we were unable to get a single working game.

We ran into a myriad of problems, finally getting everyone in to a game only to realize that two players are never able to actually see each others characters or action, making the multi completely unplayable.

I can't believe a game was released in this format, with this degree of issues. Is there any solution for this?

    I doubt. Need to wait for the devs to fix the multiplayer.

    Multiplayer is still in beta so we will just have to wait a little longer... =(

    I would suggest using Hamachi or Tungle as they tent to work with ALOT of people using the multiplayer feature

    The devs are aware of a 3 or more player issue with MP. Give it time.

    From their own page: "Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition for Windows contains the following enhancements:

    ...

    Improved multiplayer support, with connectivity between all platforms"

    If multiplayer doesn't work, then don't claim it does on your web page's list of features. As far as I'm concerned this game was sold to me using deceptive advertising. It's not up to the consumer to scour for hidden bugs and issues. If multi doesn't work, it Should not have been advertised as an improved feature in this game.

    Bad form for a new company. Both my friends who bought the game agreed, same with others I've spoken to online.

    I really wanted to love this product and support this new company, but now I feel cheated. Not a good customer experience for a new brand.

    There are a couple of work arounds which are inconvenient but allow you to play. See this thread

    Thanks Pencil. Much appreciated for the link. Super frustrated to hear that the DEVS aren't even considering fixing this problem until they get the game out on iPhone, iPad, etc. Way to quickly ruin your companys cred.

    I just want my money back from this team now. If I can't play multi as advertised this is pointless to me and my friends. Such a shame... was so excited for this.

    I know its a pain, but just wait for a couple of days.
    From Trent's twitter, 1hr or so ago: "We've got some multiplayer fixes in testing right now."

    It's a priority for them I'm sure, it's not just about the ipad version, they're doing a bunch of stuff at the same time.
