So I have 2 friends that bought gtfo together on steam to play through, but 1 friend is unable to join or host lobbies. He was able to do the training mission but when he tries to join us he get stuck on this loading page where it says waiting for master, and after a minute or two he gets send back to the mission select.

He has tried port forwarding, verifying his game files, adjusting his router settings, he does not have a vpn, updated his drivers.
Looking for any ideas we haven't tried.

If we can't figure this out in a few days, all 3 of us are just going to refund the game.

Did you guys make sure the slots were available? Also, current specs of his rig?

#

yes, we made sure the slot open for players, and he is able to play the training mission fine, so I don't think it would be a spec problem

#

between the 3 of us, 1 friend and I where able to join each others lobbies fine

Not an AMD FX platform so not a spec issue

#

Have you tried inviting via steam rather than lobby code?

#

Or vice versa?

inland nexus
#

yes tried, still does not work

whole compass
#

a example of a level that does not work is R2B4

inland nexus
#

we only tried R1A1, but I think all 3 of us are just going to refund and find a different game to get for the steam sale

has to be some kind of network problem. player.log might give some insight...

#

i remember a similar case where someone had a secondary ip address on WAN network interface, totally scrwed gtfo over. removed it: boom, zero problems. this might be one of them. dunno.

Hi all! This is my first time here and I may be writing in the wrong place, correct me if I'm wrong.
I need help, have the same problem.
I can't create a lobby with a friend. I can join random players. But it’s not possible to join a friend (in his lobby) or for him to join me. When I join him, of the four characters, only mine is visible, I click ready and endlessly wait for the master. And if I am the lobby master, then I see three characters (myself/empty space/bot/bot) and sometimes it becomes possible to press the mission start button, but nothing happens (the same problems on his part). I see the COPY LOBBY ID button, but there is no place in the campaign menu where this ID can be entered.
I don't use VPN or other programs (my friend doesn't either). We tried restarting the game and completely reinstalling it.
Thank you very much and I apologize if I wrote in the wrong place

could friend try 4g/5g hotspot either wifi or usbtether? if all fixed then, my suspicion goes to the connection between u two, what isp both running? if upnp works for both unless same isp, address translated twice for packets between u... or something

okay... what about lobby ID? where can I put ID to connect?

subtle bloom
#

u just copy the number, then alt tab to game, a red box should appear left side "join xxx"

I think the problem is not with the Internet connection. Because I don't see this window for ID. And even when a friend tries to connect in the lobby, and then he is kicked, the character's slot remains occupied. Even if you put "AI only" in this place, it does not work to start the game, it shows the expectation of the players. We need to create the lobby anew.
Is there any way to write to the developers? Maybe they can help?

Look at the version in that screenshot. v33054
It is a very old build of the game

tardy swift
#

Or that build is even older?

dense locust

Between Alt://R5 and Alt://R6. It is OLD.
And that is why I should watch the dates on these threads ; the latest replies fooled me :D
Please ignore my earlier comments. 😅

Hi, I am having the same issues. Me and my friend just bought this game. Whenever he or I tried creating a lobby and invite the other, we both cannot join. We tried steam invite and even the clipboard but cannot join the session. The screenshot show above is the one I am seeing whenever I am joining his lobby. Any fix for this?
