Sorry, but I still didn't understand can I play multiplayer together with my friend or not? I am on PC, my freind is on MAC.

Tnx.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, multiplayer between the Windows- and macOS-version of the game is possible.

This is a ancient thread about PS4, best results create a new topic or ask in an existing Mac specific thread?

Not sure what you 'want to know' but the answer to the question in this topic title is in the second post.
I assume people don't use Seasons, unless they say otherwise.

Look at how it had to be done with Minecraft. They've written a completely new version of it to allow PC (Windows 10 only as far as I know) Xbox, phone/tablet users and now Nintendo Switch players to play online together, Sony refused to get involved. :oops: It had to be completely reworked as seen here and set up to run equally across all platforms including the least powerful which in Minecrafts case would be the phone/tablet users and in Farm Sims case would be console users (and no I'm not bashing consoles, I'm console only myself). Any cross platform version of Farming Simulator would also require the availability of the same mods for everyone and for that reason alone it just can't happen.
Crossplay works fine on newer games and I see no reason for Farming Simulator to not enable it in coming versions. I do not know about their plans, but I think it would be a great enhancement for the series.

Why not? I'm able to join FS19 multiplayer sessions from my PS4, and play with my friends.

I’m very confused by this as well since me and a buddy play this together almost nightly on PS4
In my experience, if you attempt to restrict your multiplayer game on PS4 to “friends only” when creating it, your PS4 friends cannot join or even see the game. The only way we were ever able to play is by me creating a public game and then hoping my friend could find it in the list and join before someone else did.

I'm on PS5. I always launch my FS19 multiplayer as "friends only" (I usually select "International" as the server), my Playstation friends that are on either PS4 or PS5 (be they here in the USA, or in EU or UK) don't have any problem joining. All they ever have to do is select my name on their Playstation "friends list" and click on "Join session", their game launches, they're in. Couldn't be easier.
Honestly, to join a friend's game, don't waste your time in the in-game multiplayer browser.

Maybe that was indeed the problem - we were always trying to use that in-game browser, and when setting up a game as “friends only” the game never appears in that browser. But I didn’t know it was possible to join a game from the PlayStation friends menu … I’ll definitely have to look into that. Thank you!

well, if you are so lucky that you actually get multiplayer to even work, in theory it should work

No. Only cross platform games like fortnite and mincraft for example. Not sure if windows and mac can but not ps and pc
