Need help with an issue.
Short and brief:


Multiplayer:

When I host, my friends can join on me but I am unable to interact and teleport them to me because none of our names would appear upon the player list menu... Even though they have joined.

When someone else hosts, we can all play together A-OK but personally, I would like to host since I am on at an hour where we can all link up together easily instead of having to wait hours for the one person to get on just to boot up the world.



I haven't seen / found an article on this issue so far and it's been frustrating.

I haven't seen anything on this either, but I can think of a few things. Put in the chatbox /setaccesslevel “yourSteamname” admin, just to clear that up in case you havent done that yet (ignore the quotes when typing). Now after that if they are still not showing up, you can use that same command i put to make your friends admin so they can tp. Heads up tho remember to take off invis, god mode, ghost etc. when turning on admin.

Thank you, it worked but a new issue arises. My friends and their characters would all freeze on each other's screen but are still able to move and interact with the game. Essentially, we're all now invisible to each other.

Click the admin tab on the left side of your screen, then go to "edit your admin powers", and uncheck invisible, god mode, and ghost mode, and apply. If your friends are now admin they will have to do the same.

Also a quick lil fix for everyone in the server, after everyone is together just give the server a restart and you'll all be back in w/ none of the admin powers.

Thank you so much! You helped resolved the issue! Another thing we all did was uncheck UPnP and we were all able to connect and run around together. We also had to delete any previous multiplayer/server/survivor folders in our C:/ drive beforehand as well. We also gave the server 3.5 memory instead of 1 since I guess it takes 500mb per player in a host server.

I hope this helps anyone else that ever runs into this issue.
