(Connection Time out) I think there are mods that prevent me and my girlfriend to join each other.

[57uck]

Hello everyone. I decided to come back playing starbound after 2 months, but me and my girlfriend can't join each other. I think some mods got updated and cause problems, but i don't know which one (i'm not an expert on solving modding problems). I tried a "different" modpack and it works perfectly, but mine doesn't (it says connection time out). If you can help me please i'll be grateful.

first thing i'd try is making sure you and your girlfriend have the exact same mods installed

Yep, we have the same mods

Nothing else?

If it's just taking so long to connect that it's timing out before you can get into the game, this might help. It extends the timeout limit to an hour, but if it's another problem you might just end up sitting there for an hour before it disconnects.

Kind of hard to see if it's a mod conflict without a log file, but looking at your list I noticed you have about 4 different versions of Upgraded Upgrades, you should only have the base one and the one that changes the upgrade level to what you want.

If it's another mod conflict, posting your log from trying to connect might help figure out what the problem is, although I honestly don't know much about multiplayer, don't know whose log it would have to be. To get that, right click Starbound in the library, then go to Properties, Local Files, Browse, open the Storage folder and look for a file that's either called "starbound.log" or just "starbound" depending on how you have it set up to display file names. Not any of the ones with numbers at the end like "starbound.log.1" Post it to Pastebin and link it here.

I'm seeing it looking for a lot of missing items, have either of you been unsubscribing to mods? Some mods aren't safe to remove, the game just keeps looking for things that don't exist any more and throws errors because it can't find them.

If you're starting a new playthrough, you both might want to go into the local files and just delete the storage folder entirely, it'll get rid of your old universe and characters and let the game generate a new universe without stuff from old mods in it. Copy it to somewhere else first if you plan on going back to the old one.

This one did kind of stand out to me:
[Error] Failed to valid player with uuid 2d027669d4a7f1f7df08437b66098718 : (StatusEffectDatabaseException) No such unique stat effect 'fucheatdeathhandler'

(Edit: Steam censored that, but it starts with FU, so probably something from Frackin Universe)

Did either of you have Frackin Universe installed at some point? That one adds a lot of stuff that's not safe to remove, you'd have to delete the old universe and characters to start over without it. Or it might also be because you're using Frackin Races, I'm not really sure how standalone FR works.

[57uck]

Oh right. I forgot to delete the entire universe. :(

[57uck]

But now i can't test with my girlfriend, i'll try tomorrow

[57uck]

Nvm, i tried with one of my friends, but still..we couldn't join each other.

Update: i unistalled starbound, then deleted the remaining folder and reinstalling again, and it seems now is working. Ok...

[57uck]

OK now i'm confused as heck. Now is still saying "connection time out". I tried everything. reinstalling the game 2 times and removed the conflicts between the "Upgraded Upgrades" mods. My head is exploding and i don't know what else i should do.

Who's hosting the game? Is it the host that's getting the error or the people trying to connect? Did everyone else change their mods when you did?

Though I'm going to be honest, I don't know much about multiplayer issues, I was going by what I could see in the logs.
