Is there a problem with multiplayer?

[Ubermensch]

After the latest update, I can't find any games in multiplayer hard mode. I've been searching for half an hour with no response at all, just searching.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue, or is no one playing this game online anymore?

multiplayer is used but ussually only 2 people via invite, cause the game still has problems when 3 or more players are online in the same session which is probably why everyone has public servers turned off

I have problem too, I am in offline alltime, on other notebook its working idk why

I have the same issue. In hard mode, you can only be randomly matched with other hard mode players. A very small % of people play this game in hard mode, and it is very hard to find another hard mode player randomly in a queue along with you.

I only play hard mode, so if you are looking for help on one of your maps, add me to friends.

Multiplayer doesn't work after the latest update. So it's no surprise that it's so difficult to find any lobby.

I saw tons of posts about people having issues/errors with MP after the patch and while I never had the errors they had, it made sense because the amount of available random games have been almost non existent for me since the patch. Before the patch there were lots of games to join, but now I am lucky if I get one after 5-10mins of waiting.

Edit: I think the errors combined with wait times that people don't want to wait for has a lot to do with it. Also for me, it seems like if I try to cancel the wait and rejoin or start my own, the ESC to cancel does not pop up and it will not even create my own game when it does that and I have to restart the game. It's frustrating and makes me want to just wait for a patch, but then the fuel bug will probably be back...

Hi, do u have still problems with CO-OP? When i click on coop mode, game said to me: OFFLINE MODE, modes are neither offline. Where is the problem? In PC? or just servers are down... Thanks.

No, unfortunately it's like that since update 13, and devs are taking their sweet time.... I can't play it since then since I took the game only to play it with friends. Hope it will be fixed by the end of the year :)

After a few days of observation, I've come to the conclusion that the game is problematic. Sometimes, I can't even open my own map online. Of course, the recent update and the weak state of the map have also reduced the active player count. Just when we were about to rejoice over the fuel problem being solved, now we can't even access the game online. If a similar game to this one were to come out, I truly wouldn't play this game again. But I don't know of any off-road themed transport games. If anyone knows and recommends one, I would appreciate it.

thanks fellas for the info, I hope that the developers will fix this error as soon as possible...

Same issue here. I kept finding lots of games very easily before the latest update. Ever since it launched, I have an extremely hard time finding any games whatsoever.

This isn't accurate. There's indeed always been issues with the number of players but there used to be tons of public matchmaking before the latest update. I know this because I do public co-op almost exclusively, and since the update hit, I've found myself dealing with irrationally long waiting times and usually no servers at all after. I wanted for half an hour the other day and got nothing; not once had this happened before in 1600-ish hours of play (most of which are multiplayer).

Used to be I was annoyed by the inferior little idiots who voluntarily open public matches to then kick anyone that joins, now the annoyance is that there's no matches to be unfairly kicked out of.

Right... I feel the same way haha

If you want, I can host a game and kick you and then you can do the same for me so we can get our fix.

So am I to understand that instead of fixing the coop issues that have plagued the game for several years, they just decided to kill coop?

On a side note, random coop was pointless anyway since there was no way to communicate.

I'm guessing their fix was to just end coop instead of adding chat or fixing fuel issues.

It still works, it is just much harder to find a game now.

Season 13 biggest challenge is finding coop games.

They actually fixed the fueling issue. They probably screwed up the matchmaking code when they fixed the fuel bug.

When I get bored searching for games and try to go back to creating my own game, I can't even create my own game. The screen freezes unless I press Alt+F4.

The truth is, I've completed 100% of all the maps. I enjoy helping others and moving from map to map, but there's no room left now.

I guess I need to delete the game and come back to it in six months.
