Update for Patch 8 Hotfix 32 is now available! v3.1 brings back the direct connection code, Larian for whatever reason disabled it in crossplay lobbies with hotfix 32.
Know bugs for Patch 8: - Honor mode is causing issues in a fresh lobby with more than 4 players. So launch it with 4 or less players and invite the rest once you are fully ingame. - Windows defender or other antivirus programs might flag the MP patch for some reason, just allow it patch your game and move on. Nexusmods scans every upload so it is safe to use.
Common fixes and workarounds are: - Deleting your .exe files and letting steam verify the game (reapply the MP patch if needed) - Deleting everything but PlayerProfiles in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3
We also have Discord Server if you need more help or just want a place to hangout. Given the amount of mods I've created so far I figured it would be nice to have everything in one place.
Hi, my friends and I have been trying to run a game with the 6 of us. I am hosting the standalone version and the multiplayer add on (did everything the files asked, including dropping the bg3_dx11.exe file to the PartyLimitBegonePatcher.bat file to back it up) The mod worked (showed 8 player slots) but when the 5th person tried to join it kept saying for that friend that the "lobby was full" and couldn't join. We essentially spent the night trying to troubleshoot and fix it but we had no luck, including having different people try to host but no luck there either, as well as trying to run through the tutorial to get a party member and let them go to camp so the limit would reset but nothing would work. We were trying to start fresh on a new game btw. At this point not too sure what to do. The multiplayer part of the mod just doesn't seem to work.
Tried the "Delete everything but PlayerProfiles in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3" troubleshooting. Lost all my mods and can't load any of my saves haha it's probably my own fault, maybe deleting the mods folder too was the issue, but I took your troubleshooting advice literally. Oh well. I'll start over.
Hi, I have 6 group members. Jaheira is my Cleric. But she is not registered as an ally, so she can't use group heals and she is also hit by the AOEs from my mage. why?
Known old bug. Not this mod's fault. Happens if you recruit Jaheira in act 2 and add her to party before act 3.

I have tried to download this in the script extension and no success. Its really confusing to follow when required mods are labeled. Are those mods and the mods that those mods require is needed?
Thanks for the reply. I have watched the video and did what he did in it but was not able to get 8 players when i created a multiplayer game. I used the Baldurs Gate 3 Mod Manager and dropped the extracted mod in the mod manager window and followed the instructions. In the video I did noticed when he downloaded the patch there was a Mod file that came with the rest. That Mod file did not appear for me. Am I doing something wrong?
The video seems to be quite old, so it may not represent the current version well. But basically, you have to enable the mod in the mod manager, and apply the patch for 8 person lobbies to work.
1 - Did you make sure you moved the mod to the list on the left after dropping the zip on the mod manager? And did you export the order to the game? And do you have script extender installed? Make sure you did all of these. If you don't have script extender, you can install it through the Tools section in the mod manager.
2 - Did you make sure to apply the patch to both the bg3.exe and the bg3_dx11.exe? If you only applied the patch to the bg3.exe, you have to be using Vulkan instead of Dx11, but if both .exe files are patched, you can use either option and it should work. Make sure to patch both .exe files, just to be sure.
And one additional note, if you're using the script extender version with the mod manager, your friends also have to install the same version of the mod for you to be able to play together. They do not have to patch the .exe files though, only the host needs to do that.
Your issue is most likely caused by the second option, since Dx11 is the default. You should be good to go after following these steps.
If I Had a console (ps5) player joining would the console player have to install the mod as well? just wanted to thank you for all of the help. I seem to be running the mod. Wont be able to test it till later on next week but for now I am able to see 8 party slots when creating a multiplayer game.
Having an issue when creating a cross-play lobby where it will kick me out to the main menu and say, 'ERROR SERVER SHUTTING DOWN'. (Has been happening since patch 8 has released.) regular online works fine. I downloaded all the latest patches for the mods as well as removed the older versions, and it is still happening. I'm not using a mod manager for clarification and I'm trying to play with 3 other pc players and one console player. I'm new to this so maybe I'm doing something wrong so any help would be appreciated.
It's just going from v2.9 to 3.0, adding support for the latest hotfix. I'm currently working on another update because hotfix 32 removed the ability to use direct codes in crossplay lobbies, a beta is available in my discord. EDIT: v3.1 is now available for everyone, bringing back the direct connection code. Larian for whatever reason disabled it in crossplay lobbies with hotfix 32.
Hi all. My friends and I downloaded this patch and it works, but only up to 6 people. When the 7th tries to join they are met with a "server timeout" error. Any fixes for this or does anyone know what is causing the problem?
*multiple people have tried to log into the 7th slot and they are all met with the same error*
