My friend and me are trying to play with each other on PZ, when he tries to join me they get a connection issue saying "Failed to establish P2P connection with server" if I try to join him I get a "getting server info" problem. This happens when we try to join each other via server host/invites through the in-game app or steam invites.

#

I'm currently trying to establish a hamachi server and I'll update to see if that works. Following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0bkipo2IWQ

Hey guys! Good to see ya again. Hope you enjoy this new tutorial and hopefully it helps someone out.
Big shoutout to @caydenm2845 and @kekji23s for the video request.

This didn't work for him ^^

Are both of you able to join the same public server? This is to test for any connection problems.

yeah my friend cant join other servers he just keeps getting stuck on "getting server info"

#

Is he able to switch to a VPN or a different network to test for that?

#

The best I can say is protonvpn, the free plan is what we're gonna try since he doesn't have his own nor do I

#

It would be for a test, since it just looks like your network is for some reason blocking the game

#

Do you both share the same provider?

#

the vpn did work so far but the server he tried to join had mods so we are going to try some with no mods rn

#

Even with my VPN on, my server list is still empty

#

Did you restart the game after turning on the VPN

#

Preferably restart Steam as well

#

I restarted my steam client, trying to join my friend and I'm getting stuck on server info as well. He has VPN on for this test right now

#

I have my VPN on though

Hm, can you try changing your Download Region in your Steam settings as well?

#

It should be in the Settings > Downloads section

#

Preferably pick a server on a different country / continent
