Ports

|---|---|
| UDP | 23243-23262[14] |
- This game supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for automatic port configuration.
Networking issues
The official Larian documentation[14] suggests the following solutions to networking issues.
General problems
| Ensure that all players have the exact same versions of the game and any potential unofficial mods. |
|---|
| Switch the player hosting the session; transfer the appropriate save game file to the new host to maintain progress. |
|---|
| Verify/repair game installation. |
|---|
| Check if the connection can be established if the host moves to character creation instead of waiting for players to join the lobby. |
|---|
| Enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) in the network adapter if it is disabled, or reset the network adapter. |
|---|
Joining-specific problems
- This includes the
NATPunch (66)error message when trying to join a room.
| Host a multiplayer room, and then immediately close it. Then, attempt to rejoin the other player's room as normal.[15] |
|---|
Issues unresolved
Non-QWERTY keyboards not having adapted prompts
- If the player uses a keyboard such as QWERTZ or AZERTY, the UI will not change the key prompts (e.g. the Jump command is still shown as using the Z key, but is actually handled by the Y key on a QWERTZ keyboard).[16][17]
