R1D1 "Waiting for Master"

[upbeat summit]

Upon trying to login and join a friends game, I keep getting stuck on the game say it is "Waiting for Master" when trying to join their lobby. The same becomes true when i am hosting and trying to get the same friend to join my lobby. Both of us have played the game for the past few days with no issue and this happened randomly after trying to rejoin a game after we split for a few hours. I was hoping to see if any has seen this and a possible fix? Thank you in advance!

Game is installed on M.2 SSD

Tuesday

Probably steam maintenance stuff

I thought the same when going through research but this was happening over the past weekend all the way through today. The issue start happening last Friday and has unfortunately remained consistent since.

Does either of you have a VPN on?

Or is he running modded by chance?

[upbeat summit]

No VPN or mods, but i think there might some weird peer to peer blocking on my network due to not being able to matchmake in Remenant 2 as well with the same error. I'll update the post when I have identified the issue.

One friend of mine has similar problem. His connection was cut when we were doing R2C1 and upon reconnecting he became invisible for us for the rest of the mission. Since then we are unable to host any game with him - either he's unable to connect to our lobby or someone else is unable to connect to his.

Same issue

Exact

Any solutions

[hoary tartan]

Me and my friends have the same

[upbeat summit]

I have not found a resolve yet but I'm gonna deep dive my entire network setup this week and will report back if I can solve it 😁

[brisk rivet]

We found that him hosting & me hosting both don't work but it can work if we find someone else to host, so we can both connect but maybe we both can't host

Matchmaking at the same time works but doesn't let you equip bots

[brisk rivet]

I'm gonna do some troubleshooting too in a bit, then later tonight

Game log I found thru ProcMon, seems very relevant.

It works

Hi! Can you explain what exactly works? Did you fix the problem? How did you fix it? Please help 😢

[brisk rivet]

Hey man I was writing up a post about it sorry

Yeah I just port forwarded those ports on windows firewall

and on the router

For Windows firewall, go to the windows firewall, go to Outbound rules, create a new Outbound rule, select type Port, select protocol UDP, and do "4379-4380" for the ports, then do allow connection, all domains, name it something, and save it. Repeat that for port 3478.
For router, use ipconfig in command prompt to find your "default gateway", type that IP into your browser for your router login page, log into the router using the details on the sticker, go to port forwarding. Now it's different for every router, but the general input is gonna be, any name, IPv4 (found in ipconfig), port 3478 internal, port 3478 external, UDP protocol. Repeat that for port 4379 and port 4380.

[brisk rivet]

You might only need to do the windows firewall one, my buddy did and it worked. But I did both just in case

maybe you know how to fix problem with a steam issue bc we have a problem that bots aren't showing up and people said "then very probably the connection to steam got fucked up. Usually this is a steam issue, and you can notice it by the bots not being there and/or by the inability to get a lobbyid." https://discord.com/channels/408196129470152705/1184615765102563399 my bag report

[brisk rivet]

I think the ports are the problem if connections are being dropped, fixing the ports might fix this too. It could also just be desync, pick the guy with the fastest internet to host the lobby and make sure everyone isn't across the country

I'll look into that though, tell me if you still have this other problem after fixing the ports

[hoary tartan]

okay thank you so much!

[brisk rivet]

Yeah that problem looks crazy, I just checked it out. Next time it happens, the host should open this log file and send it in that bug report channel C:\Users\(user)\AppData\LocalLow\10 Chambers Collective\GTFO\Player.log

[hoary tartan]

it works!
