This "multiplayer" is so buggy, simply unplayable as a client and has been for years. So don't base your decision to buy this game on that, it just doesn't work.
Good news if you still wanted to, my friend and I found that switching you steam download region to the hosts region fixed it for us. Not the actual account region just the download region. Ofc if you are already in the same region this probably wouldn't do anything
So uh... lets just say... theoritically of course... someone where to have gotten a... "pirated version" of the game... how would this theoretical individual get multiplayer?
@@pirateorno3779 I guess if you find the multiplayer version but I have searched i couldn't find it you can ask a friend for it but it comes with its risks and since you won't have the Steam API the thing that the multiplayer runs on you probably can't
