i googled this, and there are complain about this problem, so is there a way?

I'm running into this problem too. It looks like, when I join with the same SteamID multiple times, it only registers once, and stops.

Install SandBoxie and run a second instance of Steam with it. I'd recommend registering a second account though.

thanks for the answers, but i really want a proper solution, so i decided to write a whole new framework to switch between PUN2 & SteamP2P at any time.

Yup, works perfectly. As for a proper solution I think SandBoxie might be the most effective, besides getting 2 computers. It allows you to run Steam and your game in their own sandbox with just a right click and "Run in SandBoxie". As for the PUN2 and Steam, I've been looking into that was well, but my idea is to use PUN2 for matchmaking while at the same time connecting to Steam P2P, then disconnecting PUN so I don't have to pay for massive servers and running the game networking off Steam. Then again Steamworks has matchmaking... Just got sick of PUN disconnecting when the client wasn't responding lol

I don't even remember commenting on this. Lol never tried it, gonna do it now.

Edit.- Yeah, sandboxie works perfectly fine to test multiplayer games.
