DOA5LR How to play DOA5LR online in Steam

[Infamous Geezer]

I've seen many posts on the Steam discussion forum of people having problems getting online play working. Here's the fix. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2800936441

Thanks to @WAZAAAAA if it weren't for him / her I wouldn't be playing today!

it just hit me... how many bloody instances of DOA5 online servers are currently up and running??? I counted 8 in theory, any correction?

DOA5LR PS4-PS5
DOA5LR X1-XSX
DOA5LR PC
DOA5LR PS3
DOA5LR X360
DOA5UA Arcade
DOA5 PS3-Vita
DOA5 X360

• this is only a list of official servers. If we start including unofficial servers it gets stupid like DOA5LR PC SmartSteamEmu, DOA5LR PC Goldberg Emulator, DOA5LR PC RPCS3 RPCN not-yet-working PSN emulator
• the - indicates they are at least cross-play with each other
• "DOA5LR" doesn't mean they're all the same game on the same patch, afaik we have new-gen DOA5LR (PS4/PS5/X1/XSX) and old-gen DOA5LR with less content (PS3/X360/Arcade/PC)

just wanted to share how absurd it is to release SEPARATE versions of the same online game and not even have cross-play for it ( ･᷄ ︵･᷅ )
