Hello !

Just a question. I would like to know if it was possible playing multiplay or coop in this game. I know the server are down since a while, but is there a way to play instead ? Like with programs or something like that ?

Thank you !

Sounds interesting I'd like to play

To my knowledge the only way to play this game's multiplayer now is via LAN. Preferably using some kind of program like Hamachi.

Also, I don't think the main game is playable in coop. I think coop is only for scenarios created in the editor (although there is one of those included with the game). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

EDIT: I've heard there's a mod floating around somewhere to make the main game playable in coop, however. Don't know much about it.

Yes, I knew this. But I also thought that it was actually impossible to run the main campaign in coop anyway. As in, it's not even an option in the game. I thought multiplayer only works with the modules made with the editor.

Also, my understanding of the real-time and fast travel systems was that with multiple players, there was no easy system for switching between real time and turn-based combat, or for "skipping time" through fast travel. Let's say one player is walking around a town and a different player wants to fast travel to a different town, you can't have the second player suddenly jump 2 days ahead, while the first player is still hanging around the first town 2 days in the past. And if the first player enters combat, would every other player who's elsewhere in the world have to enter turn-based mode too?

Interestingly, I hear that Divinity: Original Sin manages to solve these problems to some extent, allowing real-time exploration and turn-based combat to work together for two coop players. I haven't played it myself yet though.
