Yeah now I can't play with my steam GM. :/
Hey guys,

Larian is still working on solving the issue. The problem is with the overloaded multiplayer servers.

The temporary workaround for this is portforwarding, programs like Hamachi should allow you to connect to other players who are also using those.
Hello, I have been trying to connect with my friend through direct connect/ip connect and it failed both times. After the patch 999, just a few minutes after the release, the game denied us the ability to set the direct connect option saying that it failed. We tried various methods but nothing seemed to work. Hope the good people at Larian Studios can fix this issue as we sort of wasted a good amount of time troubleshooting ourselves.
direct connect not working. fix it asap plz. spend all my pocket money on this game. very sad.

It's not a version 999 issue, it's a Larian server issue. They took down a server that killed Direct connect.
Okay I've successfully been able to start a multiplayer session in .999, thanx alot !
Still no direct connect allowed so steam & gog users can't connect to each other :(

Judging from a post on Steam from Larian, this issue is going to go on for a couple days. :/

Darn that really sucks. First the connection issues. I had a stream planned where I'd showcase the GM mode in which my friend is the DM. After 1,5 hours I cancelled doing the stream. Eventually connection was fixed but he could not create an invite code for me as he uses Steam. Meanwhile the other three people were on steam and had a fun evening and I had to sit it out. He's already grumpy since he has to upload the mods somewhere else besides the workshop because I can't access steam workshop content. So I'll have to wait days to test if the mods even work for me. The ones he creates and uploads just for me outside of the workshop. Sigh. Sorry for the rant. I just wish steam and gog would share this whole workshop thing and the player base. I mean I have seen games on gog that have real gameplay crossplay and mod crossplay.

No worries. It is pretty frustrating when you hear that your weekend plans are shot. I think a lot of us are feeling this right now.
What's working for me and my friends is using the Direct Connect function to an IP address instead. The host simply needs to open/forward the ports found in the steam forum post below[0], and enable LAN connections in his connectivity settings (even though it's not a LAN connection, but when it's not enabled my friends received an error saying the server is private).
