Can cracked version connect to legitimate players in R.E.P.O?

Hey everyone, I need to double check something because I know situations can change over time. I usually buy my games legally but I have some buddies who always use cracked versions. I want to play R.E.P.O together with them but I own the official version. Does anyone know if there’s currently any method to get a pirated copy of R.E.P.O to work in multiplayer with someone who has the genuine game? I’m asking because I want to make absolutely sure before trying anything.

Cracked and legit versions usually can’t connect - they run on different servers

Usually doesn’t work since cracked versions can’t access official servers

Nope, it won’t work. Multiplayer games typically have anti-piracy measures that block cracked versions from connecting to legit copies. Even if you find a workaround, it likely won’t last long before a patch comes out. It might be easier to just convince your friends to buy the game when it goes on sale.

Cracked versions can’t connect with legit players in most games. The pirated copies break authentication, so your friends would need unofficial servers or workarounds. You won’t be able to join them with your official copy - the DRM blocks that kind of cross-play.

You can’t mix cracked and legit versions for online play. They use different authentication methods so they won’t connect to each other.

Most multiplayer games usually prevent cracked versions from connecting with legit ones. There might be some unofficial methods, but they’re often not worth the hassle.
