Why the Demo is not allowed to run online co op?

[神代るるる]

I've downloaded demo from steam page and finished solo-story of demo by many times with different difficulties.
But still the function of online co op never works.

When i press:
Host Game→Failed to create session
Join Game→nothing happens
Join Friends→nothing happens

When i got an invitation, it shows in game like: failed to join the session
I also tried to re-install the demo twice, however nothing changes.
the version of demo is v0.34.12.

I checked firewall, seems everything is okay, and all the other online co op games are working well.

Did people just remove the function of online co op from Demo?

I can't find the other version of this game.
the open playtest link on X(twitter) is:
https://t.co/tGxnUYDF60
and it also leads to the same steam page, from where i down loaded demo:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1763250/SWORN/

I also tried to delete save data and finished tutorial again, to make sure that window jumps to inform people that online session is open.
After it shows that the online play is available, i press ESC to back to main menu immediately, but it still works like:
Host Game→Failed to create session
Join Game→nothing happens
Join Friends→nothing happens

totally no idea.

First, my cohort and I played and enjoyed the co-op of the demo, no problems. With the EA full version however it seems that the game is failing to remember that my cohort did indeed already previously complete the tutorial, for purposes of enabling co-op play.

He had tried the EA version earlier within the last 24 hours, finishing the tutorial. I completed mine today, but when he tried to join he gets the message that he needs to complete the tutorial first...

Hi, and thanks for the prompt response. He did the tutorial a second time since the EA hit, and it works now. But that issue may still linger for others... .

Good game, though we wouldn't mind a greater incidence of Health items, given the difficulty. :)
