I'm stuck on the Connecting to server screen for well over 10 mins multiple times now. I've tried verifying files, restarting steam, restarting my pc, etc. Yet I can't join my friends game. We were playing perfectly fine last night, and my other friends are all joining. I just wanna say that I'm not upset or anything, I get that y'all are working to fix these issues, love y'all. Just wanted to let it be know I'm having this issue suddenly

Hi there @vivid bay @vapid depot @woeful adder are you all still experiencing Connecting to Server issue, and are you all playing on Steam? Can you DM me?

I'm also having this issue - 2 other friends were able to join my friend's server, but I've been unable to. I even completely deleted / uninstalled and reinstalled my game. We're all playing on Steam

Idk if this will help anybody but I had the same issue and managed to get into the world / get my friend into the world by completely exiting the game and joining directly from the steam friend menu. It loaded in alarmingly fast from doing that 😌
