Not just me then? What error are you getting?

Multiplayer hasn't worked for us since yesterday's patch

Definitely report this to Larian, since it seems like many people are having this problem. At this point, there is a good chance they already know, but your report might help regardless.

With multiplayer being P2P it is never a game issue.

Perhaps but we still can't figure out what it is.

Hey, saw this earlier but had to go out and didn't comment.

Had no issues doing multiplayer shortly after the OP, and saw roughly 20 full servers at the time and a ton of 2 player servers, so it doesn't seem a wide-spread issue. I realise that's not exactly helpful for you're issue.
Additionally, bugs and other issues should be going in the 'Technical and Gameplay Problems' subforum. https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/3/

Any of you using mods that might have updated by any chance? Maybe some of you aren't using the same versions?

Not sure what patch you're referring to, as far as I'm aware there hasn't been one for almost a month.

No one can without details. The most common mistake people make is using Steam instead of direct connect code. The second common mistake has something to do with danger zones. There it will help to load a different savegame and have all party members connected before loading the actual savegame you want to play with.

I used direct connect mode with my partner 1h ago, and the connection failed. At first I thought it might have sth to do with my (official) mod, but disabling or deleting the mod didnt work either.

I didn't notice any patch. It would be helpful to know what error people got, but since there is no information whatsoever on this post it's impossible to say what your specific issue is.

Disabling / deleting is not sufficient. You need to make sure everyone has cleared up their profile and cache.

The moment mods are involved, it is definitely no longer a game issue.

Consult the mods authors for help.

Again, since this keeps popping up in the forums;
There are no official mods regardless of what an author may call their mod.

The mods on the built-in browser are just mods that people have uploaded and don't break the browser's rules.

It was the danger zone issue but is that a mistake on my part? Why would you not be able to join multiplayer in a danger zone especially when you saved the game was the exact same group? That's a big as far as I'm concerned.

If you are in the camp, friends cant join the game. You need to leave the camp and then it works. Maybe that was the problem?

It is a faulty measure to protect your run from getting ruined when the game is set to public.

Same thing is happening to my friends and I. We were in game co-op and suddenly the game crashed. We all restarted completely, verified files, etc. We have no mods downloaded so that isn't the issue. Each time we try and rejoin we get the error message: "Joining Failed: Can't join this game right now!"
I've submitted a report to Support, did the recommended fixes they responded to me with, and still to no avail. Definitely a server issue of some sort.
