Hello,

My friend has this game via XBox Game Pass, I have it via GOG.

We can not find each other in the lobby. He reported seeing 2 other games, I saw none.

Direct connect with myself as host connected, but the game reported him as one of my GOG contacts, and the game could not be launched.

Anyone have any ideas.

Have same problem but my friend is using Steam version and me GoG - can't direct connect.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably coming, but I couldn't tell you when.

EDIT: https://www.rpgwatch.com/news/wasteland-3--how-co-op-works-interview-44228.html

Looks like it's intended but something's not working with it yet. It'll be fixed probably Monday or Tuesday. afaik InXile doesn't release patches on the weekend.

I found an... interesting workaround. I think this might only work for GOG to GOG (without Galaxy running), so YMMV:
* Go to Direct Connect, and host a lobby (and on the client join it). Make sure the client doesn't select any buttons or options.
* On the host, click Select Game and select the savegame you want to play.
* On the host, click 'Launch' (nothing happens)
* On the host, click Cancel and go to the main menu, press Continue or Load Game.
* Once the host has fully loaded, ask the client to to join the session through Direct Connect. At this point, a dialog will pop up asking the host to allow a new player to join (do not accept yet)!
* Meanwhile, the client should finish loading. Once the blue bar is full, then the host should click the OK button.
* Both the host & the client reload, and from there on the game should work. You should land in the manage squad screen.

You. Are. A. Genius!

This works even with a game pass!

One edit to your method; The client does not even need to join the first time. Just press launch, go back to the main menu and load the game normally.

Glad to hear and cool that we can skip a step :D
Just for visibility, here are other threads with the same workaround/feedback:
