Coop Problem PLZ HELP!!

[Kryola]

I recently bought the RE6 when it was on sale few days ago

Me and my friend were tryting to play online coop together but unable to play together

List of games from worldwide, region, country are shown but cannot connect to the game itself

We tried making private lobby, public lobby and try to find the room and get in

but still wont work

Im living in Canada, my friend is living in Asia, He can join other people's room fine

Im the one cannot join to any room

It just keep saying Failed to receive a response

I tried port forwarding and all the ports that steam uses are opened up

Im stuck at it...cannot do anything online

yes this game can be played solo with bots but is there any way to fix this rubbish problem

to play online with others and my friend?

How's the signal strength/ping from listed public sessions?

Can you play other steamworks games online fine?

If it's your network issue I suggest you be the host and invite him, if it's your issue with steam I don't know what to do.

some of the same region game has strong 3 bar signals worldwide has 2 bar it seems on my screen...and i has no problem playing other steam games with others even with my friend mentioned above. I've hosted the game and joined game before.....even now im playing sonic racing hosting the game with my friends including friend who bought RE6 with me

It is really annoying....its been 2 days that we tried all the methods that we can find on internet to make it happen but not working....

any suggestion? if my whole network was the issues then i cant even play, host other games right?

[Shinllers]

Weird... Can you host? If you can still create online sessions then try inviting him.

There was a time in April/May when steam servers were in maintenance or something, and I simply cannot create online sessions/searching sessions immediately fails without showing lists, but not as your case.

i can host other games but not RE6......thats the problem....i tried to invite him but he cant join mine but he can still be able to join public game (other user just not mine)

and I tried to join other user (not him) but cant join any of the listed games
either worldwide, region, or country.

I tried to google it but it only shows the threads and posts from 2012 or 2013 and not even pc ones rather it is xbox or ps3

[Shinllers]

It's only possible to invite after successfully creating an online session, so maybe go on and play some and see if anyone joins / if there're any other issues?

I still cannot figure out why you can't join games...

[Kryola]

i will try to create online session and play to see if anyone comes in but still doubt that if i can join any of public games, isn it gonna be vice versa?

I was waiting on the co-op lobby when you seleting the character after i created or thought to be created the online session but nobody came in....but since i didn actually start the game

I guess i will give it a try.....

My computer is connected through the powerline router (you plug one of the device on regular power plug and other device to receive the signal through the electrical powerline in the house)

Is it gonna make difference on joining or hosting RE6 online sessions?

^ can't say.
Always create open lobbies. If the invites by pressing R don't work then try launching the game, open Steam overlay. Go to friends. Click on arrow next to his name. Click Invite to game.

Or let him host?

I have noticed something "weird" sometimes in other games, where users had similar problems.
This is just a total shot in the dark, but have you made sure your Steam is set to your correct region?

Click on the word "Steam" on the top left of any Steam main window
Choose "settings"
Choose "Downloads"

Make sure your "Download Region" is set to your actual region.
Or if it is, maybe try setting it to the next closest region after that - So if you are in Canada, and it is set to Canada, maybe try North America or something.

Like I said, no guarantee that works, or that it does indeed have anything to do with this, but I know of people having set some undefined option there, and that was the issue.

[Kryola]

@Dfactor yes I've tried that to invite him using steam overlay and R but didn work...also my friend tried to host the thing but still i cant join him

@lxlSiriuslxl think I saw on the internet saying before download region were problem so it has to matched with same region to play together with friends....we tried to set it with same download region on steam and tried to see if it works but it didn work either...but it was just him changed into my region...

I havent tried to change my region to some other...I will give it a go see if it works!


UPDATE: Ive tried to change my download region and join one of the sessions but still cant join.....it continues to say failed to receive a response.....really annoying.....whoa.....

Ok, another stupid suggestion:
Make sure you run Steam and/or RE6 in admin mode.
Possibly deactivate your antivir for testing.

Something clearly prevents you from connecting in this game, so you should just check out everything.

I don't even have port forward (because certain reasons), and I can play online no problem, RE6 included.

So it's likely some file execution prevention or some such crap.

And again, not sure if the above does anything, but can't hurt to try, right?

[Kryola]

Still didn work....try running in admin mode, deactivate antivir, disable DEP (data execution prevention) but still gives me failed to receive a response and communication error time to time......really getting sick of this....maybe i should give up the damn coop and do this solo.....
