Can Steam players and Origin players play together?
Question in title. Please assist. Thanks.
Forum Discussion
If it is possible for Steam Players and Origin Players to join, I would like to know if there is any way to identify who's using what.
I can't use the Steam Client, and any IP Addresses associated with Steam tend to crash my games (assuming they even get that far). I would need to be able to filter out Origin Client Lobbies and prevent Steam Users from joining my games, as to not crash my Router.
It's been a thing in my case for years, and nothing will fix it (requires calling the ISP and going through a lot of menus and so on over a phone for hours). Steam got Black-Listed on my Router years ago, due to some Hacking incident involving the Steam Client and another User I think. Ever since, people using Steam on their systems have found themselves knocking my Router offline every time they join me Online (hard enough getting a stable game of Battlefield 4 with other users have both Steam and Origin active at the same time).
If your router blacklisted Steam then the router is most likely the cause of the problem. I can't imagine that it would be difficult to log into the router and clear that blacklisting, but if the router prevents access to something like that you shouldn't trust the router. That just sounds like some Big Brother control, which is only OK if you're the big brother.
