Can't join other players games

[Neon Sage]

My partner and I usually play on a local game that he hosts, until the other day. Something happened that caused his game to crash, which subsequently cause me to disconnect. Ever since that incident/disconnect, every attempt I made to join his game again was met with "Could Not Find Game". I've since discovered this extends to every other player I try to play with. Other friends of mine and people I meet via Discord.. all attempts to join other peoples games are met with the same result. I've attempted repairing files, uninstalling/reinstalling, reloading steam, rebooting computer, temporarily turning off firewalls, etc.
Is anyone else having this type of issue, and is there any quick fix? I really don't want to lose all the progress I made on someone else's Local Game because the game won't let me join other players games anymore.
Thanks in advance!

Tagging myself to this for any updates; as Im also having this issue for about the last 2-3 days when trying to join a friend's game. We've tried the usual basics, verifying files, restarting PC, etc... but no success now for 2 days. My friend is the host of our server, and has also had random game crashes over the past week while we've played.
Hoping for a hot-fix ASAP if this is a known issue.

I have, but thank you for checking in and replying! Hopefully you guys can figure it out as I've had to stop playing the game for now as a result. Best of luck.

Considering I saw a few people on the official discord server bring it up, but got no reply. Nor was there any acknowledgement from the Dev team about the discord concerns, I did initially decide not to post a bug report via web form.
I did however add a bug report via the web form after the most recent patch (v 0.4.2-d097). I had hopes that they were aware of the issue and had addressed it, however seems to be ongoing, and the game is therefore going un-played for us at this point.

We really appreciate the frustrations here, and we want you all to know that this is something the development team are aware of and are actively looking into. We have very large communities across the Steam Discussions and Discord, and sometimes we miss individual messages about issues, but we are making an effort to acknowledge them where we can and to let you all know that these are being investigated. Thank you for your support and patience while we look into this!

ok.. awesome that a patch came out already. However... now instead of not found error I get.... A complete reboot of the game any recomendations?

[Bridie]

Hi Pixmap, sorry to hear you're still having an issue with this. Can I ask if you're playing using the game's online multiplayer or using a dedicated server? And if you are using a dedicated server, are you running it through Steam or using a host like GPortal? Thank you!

We are a family of 4. All playing in the same room on separate machines. My daughter has the save game on her laptop. She launches it and shares the code. The rest of the family joins the game with the code. Odd thing is my game will not join. I'm on a steam deck. I tried it on my gaming PC and same issue. It seems to be tied to my steam ID as I've reinstalled it several times on both devices. Even my daughter did. Everyone can join eachothers games but... odd as I can't join hers nor can she join mine. She is not in my block players list and we are all friends with allow friends to join. Hope this Intel helps.

First we absolutely love the game. Second the customer service is an example for others to follow. We'll done.

Enjoy

Thank you so much for sharing this info with us. This is really helpful, though I can't currently say for certain what could be causing this problem when you're all playing multiplayer on the same network. Especially since everyone else on that network seems to be able to but you don't.

As you may have seen from our recent Steam post, the dev team is currently out of office on vacation, so it may be a little while before I can escalate this to them. With that in mind, I'm going to suggest something really basic and see if that helps (if you haven't done this already). My suggestion is to uninstall and re-install the game.

You may want to make a backup of your save data first, and you can do this by navigating to the following location, copying the data here, and saving it elsewhere on your PC - just in case:

C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Pugstorm\Core Keeper\Steam\<YOUR STEAM ID>

I'm sorry I can't offer you any more advice/assistance at this interval, but please be assured this is something that the team is now aware of and we will be working towards getting a workaround/fix for it.

log for same problem found, waiting for the patch. the major reason i buy this game is to share with my family

Same thing happened to me, I posted about this problem months ago and also I tried the official discord. Disappointed. I bought 3 copies and we were all having a pretty good time playing and exploring....until this bug made this game unplayable. (Went on Discord, tried uninstalling etc...)
