I have the same problem. Both players are in the same house so the fire wall has never been an issue. Please correct this asap.

Firewall can block private connections too

One computer is running 67 and the other is running 66. How can I update the 66 to the 67? It's not the fire wall.

To the original question ..... Makre sure you are both on the same verions. I found that my game was running v66 and my borther was running v67. I was able to do a manual update for my game by opening up the game properties (right click the game in your Library) go to the Local Files tab then select Verify Integrity of Game Cache. it should force an update if one is available. Hope this helps you!

Are you hosting from game and joining by steam friends or dedicated server and join by ip?

The verify of game files helps rarely but better this than nothing ;D

If you host from game + join by steam friends and firewall + verify doesn't work then no idea what causes the problem :/
Did you try to use old world or did you create new and then you tried to play coop?

If dedicated server then -> did you port forward?

Then it's very strange o_O
Did you try to verify game files yet?

In your library press right mouse button on the forest -> properties -> local files -> and there should be something about verify

But glad that it worked
