Multiplayer problems

[EyedeaOne]

Hello,

I am trying to join a game with a friend, and when he hosts it, I can't join his game, I get Game Not Found.
When I host it, he can connect to the game, and we can start the game, but as soon as we are in the game, he can't do anything. He can't assign council positions, raise troops, etc.. he just can't do anything.

Are there any special procedures that we need to follow to be able to connect to eachother's game?

Do we still need to be connected to Paradox's Meta Server?

What about DLCs? Do we need to have exactly all the same DLCs activated??

Any other thoughts on what we need to do to get a multiplayer game started?

We both have been playing CK2 for a while, but its the 1st time that we try to connect to a multiplayer game.

Thanks!

I have had literally the exact same issues, like not being able to assign counselors in my friends game when he hosts. however, when I joined a random internet game, I was fine. Is he also unable to diplomatically interact, like unable to invite people to plot?

A friend and I were having trouble last night but it just wouldn't let us connect. He has no DLC while I have every bit of it. I'm not sure if it's the problem, but I had to disable all my DLC and then it suddenly worked. Not sure if that is the cause or if it was just luck, but it's worth a try, Hopefully this all gets fixed soon.

The "game not found" issue seems to be related to the sunset invasion dlc...we disabled it, and it stopped. Reenabled and couldnt find the game again, disabled, can again connect. Give that a shot.

[EyedeaOne]

Ok, I will make sure we have Sunset Invasion disabled. If that doesnt work, I will try with both of us disabling all our DLCs.

Multi have trouble since last Friday and no fix so far . We have to wait sadly =(

[Badass Fatass]

I was having trouble without even owning the Sunset Invasion DLC, I don't think its linked to that

[Ashora]

Same as Badass Fatass , don't have Sunset and have the trouble .

Well, it must be sporadic unless they fixed it last night just when we were trying to play again. To further explain, we treid last night and we were still getting "game not found" when someone tried to connect to my game. I disabled Sunset, the EU4 converter and Rajas of India (Raja's being the last purchase, and the others just being random guesses). It worked. Reenabled Sunset and EU4 because I figured it was caused by Rajas, didn't work. Tried one last time disabling Sunset (Because it's not exactly favored by some of the players...hah!) and reenabled Raja's just to see and boom they were able to connect to me. We didn't try again with Sunset, so it's possible that maybe it was a coincidence, but we crashed a few times during the night and were able to continue to connect.

[Badass Fatass]

I've been able to connect with my friend while having raja's, the game has just been semi-functional. I'm able to connect perfectly fine to random people.

i have a similar problem but instead of "game not found" i crash to desktop.
this only happens when i try to connect to games, but does not all ways happen HELP!!!!

[Khauz]

Still trouble without any DLC :(

[Lumber Jackson]

Maybe it's rolling internet blackouts? Hah. We were able to connect again fine last night with everything but Sunset Invasion installed.

Being an old paradox gamer, I'd suggest going and signing up at their website to ask questions as you won't get support here. You'll need to register what games you have on their forums, to access the support areas. I guess they do that to keep the "it crash, plz halp" spam and pirated game users away. That said, I cannot, as for some reason my decade old account suddenly has access restricted to just about EVERYTHING.
