Borderlands 2 Co-op is not working! (Incompatible Version Error)

The latest update on the PC version of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands the Pre-Sequel has temporarily disabled cross-play between PC, Mac, and Linux.

Currently, Mac and Linux players are able to play together, but are unable to connect with PC players.

We are working on an update to bring Borderlands 2 back in sync, but we do not currently have an ETA for release. We encourage players to join our  #Borderlands Discord Channel to coordinate coop matches with Mac and Linux players, as we work towards delivering the update to re-enable cross-platform play with PC players.

Please know this is temporary, and soon, you’ll be playing together again on the latest version of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel
