Public servers are dead

[Donkdonker124]

I try to play random lobbies time and time again, and every single time it says "An Error Occurred!"
I verified my game files like 40 times and it still does it. Even when I have no mods enabled it still throws up this error. I'm fully convinced that public lobbies are just dead.

They're likely all playing with their own mods. And honestly you don't want to be doing lethal via public lobbies because it's actually pretty un-protected.

Just use discord.

Do.... Do you expect someone to defend public lobbies?

I have played 100 hours in public lobbies on both european and NA servers and it's not nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. You just have to look for a lobby that has a nice vibe and if it doesn't, just dc and look for another one.

The worst thing was certainly not the people but the lack of QOL features when it comes to lobbies, like not being able to join mid lobby or lobbies showing up after they've already started.

So in other words, you will regularly leave for any reason, you spend ages joining and guessing which lobbies will work, you risk damage to your progress so far for your own lobbies, and even if you acquire a decent lobby of 3, a 4th problematic player can join and ruin the whole process....

Do you think playing with people through discord doesn't have any of that? Granted, it's probably in lesser amounts but the spending ages joining part... From what I've seen, it doesn't seem like it's any better than public lobbies in that regard

go to discord.gg/lethalcompany and you can find many people there, and the servers you're joining may be on the public beta or playing with mods

Goshin, I've made the same mistake interacting with GaskinZ, but they're not worth your time. No matter what you argue, they will just tell you to play with people off discord, download mods, and then blame you for having issues with the game.
