Me again 👋🏻 (so sorry...)
My friend eventually was able to get the game running. He had to start in the 32bit Version. It still lags and is a bit slow but it works now.
We tried to figure out how to play together (he got it over steam, and I got it over epic games) but nope, no way we can do this alone 😅
Tried YT videos and re**it posts but I am clueless!
Would someone be so nice and help?

When you say he started the 32bit version, can you be more specific? Afaik, that's not a thing.

You can start a game in 64bit Version or 32bit Version If your pc is too slow. Just mentioned it in case it matters 👀

i can't explain how you are launching in 32 bit but 64 is required

He's running his solo game in 32bit ... How? I don't know but it works
Just wondering if we actually could play now together or not and if "how".

For multiplayer, you can use the host/join mechanics where one person is the host and everyone connects to that host. The host will need to open ports in their router and set up port forwarding. How to do this is highly dependent on your individual router model and ISP, and is not something that we can walk you through very easily - but check your router configuration page for options like 'NAT/Gaming' 'Port Forwarding' or 'External Connections'. The host's public IP will be required by everyone connecting.
You can find your public IP by visiting a site such as whatismyip.com
If everyone connecting to you is within your home network (that is, living in the same house as you), you can use your private IP instead, no port forwarding required - like LAN parties of old. See https://discord.com/channels/854679517997695016/1423434949272408255 for more information on host/join mode.
You can also download the dedicated server architecture from steam for free (even if you bought the game on epic) and set that up. Everyone will then join the IP of that sever - you'll also need the public IP & port forwarding setup for that. Setup FAQs can be found: https://discord.com/channels/854679517997695016/1395472159568040017
Alternatively, you can rent a server from GPortal. No setup required on your end, just use the IP and port that GPortal gives you. This is the only option that costs money.

not sure what info you will need cause idk how a 64 bit application will join a 32 bit server, or vice versa

a 32 bit could join a 64, but not the other way around.

my concern would be that he's not actually running it in 32 bit, and has instead misinterpreted a legacy version of the game - in which case, it won't ever work together.
But if you're both on the 0.8.x build, then see the puckbot post for information and links to discord threads with walkthroughs on how to connect.

Oh dear that sounds so difficult to me. A shame that they put the server down a while ago 😞 it's such a brilliant game and I never had any issues to play with a friend.
Thank you all 👋🏻
Is there a server I could join for multiplayer?

If you need an easy option, renting costs some cash, but is by far the very easiest option. But there are a few that exist over in https://discord.com/channels/854679517997695016/1209121064915832882

Found it 😃 I'm not in the mood or position to pay for a server (having a private wild bird sanctuary..) and would never spend my money for something like that 👀

fair enough! Nothing wrong with just using the host/listen mode after getting your port forwarding set up!
