Multiplayer (COOP) suddenly stopped working?

[ღmarisMeowღ]

My friend isn't seeing my summon sign anymore. In multiple areas.

I removed our pasword and put down my summon sign in places like Malenia and the final boss, and no one is summoning me (can't imagine that at those two areas, usually I'm summoned within seconds). Did something happend to the servers or is something wrong on my end? No idea how that would be possible since I haven't done anything weird at all with settings or whatever...

I know that the servers aren't stable at all, but, going from coop sessions with an error now and then to not being able to do so at all, worries me.

If your trying to group in an area where you have already killed the main boss it won't work.

if you and your friend are so far apart in levels then you need to use a password to consistently match :) as for random players, your level is likely just a bit out of the range where people are summoning - try going to academy gate and using a finger remedy, you should be able to see some red signs. if you dont then something is going wrong

We both use the same password, for the past 20 hours it was all fine. I only tested my summon sign without password in two busy boss areas to see if I would get summoned. No luck.

I've run into this as well, I would say its bad network connectivity or something

I've had places where my fiend can see the summon sign almost instantly; however, certain places in the weeping peninsula the summon signs would never show up, this was all within 10 minutes using same password.

When you are not in the same level of about 30-60 levels then you have to use passwords to see eachothers summon signs. Also just in case, make sure the password is correct in both cases, and that you are activating the curlfalling golden thingy to summon people.

Lastly, just in case the area boss has been defeated, then you can't summon.

i summoned a little while ago and it works.

Well, it all went south after we killed the Tibia Marinar in Limegrave. But that is strange since my friend still was able to summon me after we cleared Stormveil castle completly. How can the Tibia Marinar have that much influence compared to Stormveil Castle?

Also, I tried searching for Area Bosses that influence capability for COOP sessions, but couldn’t find anything about it. You?

alrighty so you killed all the corespondent area bosses? yeah no more summons for you untill ng+ thats just how the coop works. if you want to make sure your connection to him still works is to see if you could summon him as a duellist

Did you use the item that lets you see summon signs?

I found this on Reddit:

"I tested killing Godrick right out the gate today to see if it locked out Limgrave for co-op. Needless to say it did not lock out co-op in Limgrave, i still see friends password signs and random peoples signs as well. However when i killed the major open world bosses, specifically Tree Sentinel and Tibia Mariner i no longer saw gold signs at all including friends in Limgrave. I tested it on a new character again to be absolutely sure and same thing occurred. SO verdict is in people, if you'd like to co-op in Limgrave indefinitely leave at lease Tree Sentinel or Tibi Mariner alive! Other areas open world lock out bosses are yet to be determined."

And it did occur after Tibia Mariner. Well, on to Liurnia of the Lakes it is

Yes, as I noted. I think Tree Sentinel is the other one in Limgrave. Those 3. But I am not sure because as you found, there is no clear guidance just going off what others posted.

Basic troubleshooting in the future; try a different area if summons stop. Like, are you still good in Weeping Peninsula?

Did you solve your problem OP?

I've been unable to co-op/invade since this morning, I wonder if we have the same problem.

The problem is partly solved. The reason my summon signs were completly gone was due to that all the Area Bosses were defeated. I can play COOP with my friend again in the next region.

However, I do still get multiple connection errors while playing with my friend from time to time. Sometimes within 5 minutes, other times it takes like an hour.
