I see a lot of people are having this issue. I try to join my friends server and it gets stuck on the loading screen. The host of the game is in the same network as me. wr_logo

#

it also will just send me back to the main menu or crash the game. Please help.

If you are in the same LAN try using direct IP options

#

Otherwise it seems like connectivity issue

#

Please check options from our FAQ - https://playwindrose.com/faq/

If you've tried Firewall/Antivirus disable/IPv6/DNS/port forwarding and nothing helps - try using cloudflare warp https://one.one.one.one/, a lot of players reported it helped them, so you may try that out.

Some ISP like Bezeq International Ltd, Ziggo, telnet, Xfinity, Spectrum, and others are blocking our servers, so disabling advanced security feaures provided by them might be good idea as well

We're having the same problem. I have a server through GPortal and something with the update from this morning is causing us to not be able to connect. I've stopped and started and restarted numerous times to try to push for a new update but it's not allowing us to connect. We've also tried connecting through IP and invite code with no success.

i did the firewall disable, swithced to IPv4, changes my DNS and flushed it and still didnt work.

#

I download cloudflare warp so we will see if that works.

#

it did not work. game just crashed again.

#

direct ip didnt work either

Yeah Im also getting game crashes everytime I try to join my buddies dedicated server.

#

Is there a fix for this or am I just SOL until another update fixes it?

If you are establishing connection through in game Host a game options - try using idfferent connection services

#

have tried all the above fixes and none seem to work for getting my friend to be able to connect to my hosted co-op game

#

he just gets stuck loading then disconnects

So I was originally mistaken, he was able to get into the server but would then get disconnected. seems to be fixed right now

#

will see if anything changes

#

yeah he got disconnected again. I am not sure if its relevant but I have noticed since the update, as host, when he tries to join and sometimes just running around my game will have lag spikes and stuttering. It did not do that prior to this update at all
