Hi! So after your update, I was able to play co-op on the same network as my husband. But since the steam update I have not been able to connect. When I try to connect it takes me to the loading screen and then after about 3-5 minutes I'm kicked back to the main menu. I've tried all the troubleshooting tips and even tried setting up a Port through my xfinity with no success. I confirmed that xfinity is not blocking anything and still cannot host my own co-op or join. I've also tried joining via direct IP but that also does not work.
#Co-op Not Working after Steam Update this week

1 sec
remind me please.
you are on the same networrk, your husband is hosting teh game and you are trying to connect via invite code, right?
reef cosmos
correct. I've also tried hosting myself and same thing, kicked to main menu
quartz wave
have you exchanged characters \ worlds between your PCs?
reef cosmos
what do you mean?
quartz wave
have you copied any folders with saves from one PC to another?
reef cosmos
no
quartz wave
and you said that direct IP connection doesnt work for you, right?
reef cosmos
correct
quartz wave
can you try to use a different port?
by default it sets to 7777 (it's in the ui when you are starting a host game)
can you try doing 17777 instead
reef cosmos
okay--trying now
reef cosmos
it isn't working
quartz wave
can you please send me the latest log with this attempt?
quartz wave
Can you please try to do this:
Win + R, paste this:
%localappdata%\R5\Saved\Config\Windows
and copy this file inside this folder, and try to launch the game.
quartz wave
oh,m you need to download the file and copy paste it in htere
this file will force a special type of connection during your next launch
reef cosmos
oh! okay, trying now--will have to reconnect my husband's first to invite code
quartz wave
make sure you don't close the game before trying, the game will delete this file you copied on every launch
reef cosmos
okay! Thank you for trying!

with exactly the same error, waiting for the only 5 devs apparently in the game to release a fix
reef cosmos
shhh they are doing their best--it's a small team. They are working on it. Just have to be patient. This is why it's early release. You also have to remember the amount of people playing the game. 😄 hang in there!
quartz wave
Hello @reef cosmos , can you pelase send me dxdiag of the PC that you are using to host the game on please?
quartz wave
Also, @reef cosmos it may look like you are using a wrong IP for direct connection. It looks like you are using external adres that you can see on sites like myip.com, you need internal IP. You can see it in your router settings (it is also called IPv4 Adress sometimes), or by going to
network --- view network connecitons --- select your network adapter --- details --- IPv4 Adress

cmd > ipconfig 😉 ?
quartz wave
cmd > ipconfig 😉 ?
this could also work 🙂

Hi @quartz wave
Was just wondering if there was any new work around for the co-op join?
I have currently tried the following:
- disabled firewall
- contacted ISP for correct settings
- made windrose available private & public
- paid for a private server
- waited patiently 😂
Im not very tech savvy so tried everything in my limits, but the game still kicks me out his game straight after loading in and vice versa.
Any advice would be much appreciated mate 🫡

hello! If you have abought a dedicated server you should be able to set it to direct IP connection and that should eliminate all issues (not sure if your server provider supports it tho).
Aslo you can try doing this:
download this file and put it to this folder:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\R5\Saved\Config\Windows\
and see if it works that way
if it works for you - please mind that the game would delete this file on every launch, and you will need to restore it everytime you launch the game
