STUCK ON THE DANG LOADING SCREEN.. help pls

[silk carbon]

I am able to play solo, but whenever I try to join a server, it's stuck on the loading screen for 10+minutes and never works....

Is there a way to fix this? I looked through the FAQ, but not sure what to do.. please help

Thanks for the report! You need to actually attempt the solutions from https://playwindrose.com/faq/#faq-connect

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, are blocking our servers, so disabling advanced security features provided by them might be good idea as well

If it still doesn't help, you can try Direct IP option in the menu. But it might require further setup, depending on your home network (NAT/port forwarding).

I've tried using the FAQ, doesn't work. Downloaded cloudfare warp, doesn't work..
Tried joining with IP, it loads for 2 minutes then I get kicked out??

What kind of server are you trying to connect to?
Can you try hosting a coop game through the game menu?

It was just an open server, and I also tried joining my friend's hosted worlds... both aren't working..
When I host a world, it works but when my friends tried they couldn't load in?

Also finished the tutorial...

If you can host a world it means you can connect to our servers. So your friend should probably do the same steps you did from the FAQ to check if it helps.

Yeah, but when I hosted it NONE of my friends could join it, but they were all able to join their other friends' world
