Multiplayer Connection Issues

[Tingsoon]

Gunfire Reborn staff - HELP!

I can't play with other steam friends in multiplayer despite trying other solutions found in other threads on this same issue. This includes disabling windows firewall, opening p2p ports (all players), all players have open NAT type, all players running game in regular or as administrator (makes no difference). We've also tried fresh installs of windows, gunfire reborn, and verifying game integrity, restarting our computers, disabling steam overlay, and tried having other people host the lobby.

Sometimes, we can't even connect to each other's lobbies. Other times, we can connect in the lobby but it won't let us launch / start a new adventure because it will "un-ready" the non-host players and give us all "connection lost, check your network" messages.

On the off chance that we manage to start a game (only happened once today, across 2 hours of troubleshooting/attempts), the host is the only player that can load into the adventure/campaign. All other players will be disconnected and there's no reconnect feature.

This is very frustrating for someone who bought this game to play with friends exclusively.
Please help!

bumping this because I'm having the exact same issues and frustrations.

To play with friends, my suggestion is to use [Radmin] software, which can improve the problem

it would be nice if there was servers... or a much much less demanding P2P, I can host other games and players have like 60ms, but this game its just 300-999ping or if im lucky a few mins of gameplay at 190ping...

I don't think there is a solution because the cause is still unknown

Bumping as I have the same issue and leaves me with a pointless game as it was intended with Friends.

Steam claims you don't own the game! The little mouse logo next to everyone else's name in this thread is there to show that the poster owns the game! Unfortunately that symbol is missing from you and so Steam thinks you do not own it I am afraid.

AFAIK the the issue is just the inherent attributes of P2P (peer to peer) compared to a client/host (dedicated) server model. Both have pros and cons and for a game like Gunfire reborn with the size of the company behind it and the fact that p2p will mean players will be able to play online forever opposed to only while dedicated servers exist and is paid to be hosted. As such I can see why P2P has been used here!

Wishing anyone in this thread good luck in being able to find a solution and play lag free! I have had some interesting and unexpected online gaming network issues over the years and it is really not fun to be stuck unable to play while others clearly are! Hope youfind a way to play!

what do you mean by area? do you mean the region under downloads?

Hello people! My friend has the same issue, i can play fine with other people, but not with him. The solution that the developer reccomended did not work. This is happening in every p2p game for him, and it seems to be related to your issues, so if anyone finds a solution in the meantime it would be much appriciated.

Still the same problem in 2022.... difficult to play with friends from other regions, which became worse after release.

Go into Setting > Audio and turn Auto-Join Voice chat to off. If it is off, turn it on, apply and turn it off again.
