cartography table doesn't work

[Zerixar]

friend and i are constantly having problems with the cartography table. it simply doesn't transfer data no matter how many times we use it, what order we touch it in, how long we wait, if we leave the window up, etc. anybody have foolproof way to make it work?

In my case, it works most often when both my friend and I interact with it at the same time. BUT last time we used it (just after the desert update) it broke parts of our maps (cloned some parts onto other parts). It gets corrected if we re-explore the broken parts.

So it eventually showed up for him, but I never got his part of the map. we tried a bunch of different ways (who touches first, open at same time or not, etc). nothing worked but we did manage to crash the server 3 times (using dedicated server client). so it's trying to do something, but yeah it's not working.

Hi,

For us the issue was that one of the players (not the host) had his VPN turned on and that caused him to lose connection when opening the cartography table. It could be that some TCP or UDP port was being blocked.

Turning off the VPN fixed the issue. I hope this helps :)

bit of a necro since this topic was an issue from back in 2022, but that's an interesting new related issue/fix. for the original issue where the table just didn't function at all sometimes -- when coop partner and I played the 1.0 release a few weeks back we had no problems anymore so at least the original bugginess seems to have been fixed..
