Multiplayer stopped working
Hello,

I played the game for the first time this past Sunday with a friend. We beat the base game and then downloaded the Beta to attempt to play the new level. When I launched the beta however, I was no longer able to see any public lobbies, join my friends game, or host a game as it would bounce me back to the main menu when I clicked "Create Game".

I went back to the normal version and it worked okay.

However, the next morning i uninstalled and reinstalled the game a few times to try to get beta to work. When I attempted to try the regular version again, multiplayer had stopped working in that as well. When I verified game files there 42, but my friend had over 400. I uninstalled steam and re-downloaded and then re-downloaded the game as well and I now have 370 files for the game.

Multiplayer is still not working. Please see a list of things I have tried below.

Reinstalling Game
Reinstalling Steam
Turning off cloud save
going back and forth from beta to normal version
restarting router
checking firewall
checking network
prioritizing steam on network
directly using a friends files for the game
probably a few more things.

Any help is appreciated as I would love to continue playing either version with my friends.
Thank you.

I have the exact same issue, not sure what is going on. Neither the beta nor the stable version work and never have, but the issue is exactly the same as what you have described.

Update: Other games did not seem to be working as well. I factory reset my computer, wiped both my drives, and reinstalled windows and it is working now.
My friend is currently having this problem and we'd rather not factory reset and wipe his entire computer/hard drives to fix the issue.
