Space Engineers Can't Play Online

[Twintwo3]

When ever I start Space Engineers... steam goes offline the back online and when i join my friends game, I get a notification in space engineers that there is connection issues and says i need to check network settings.

This doesn't matter if I'm on WiFi or hard wired in. It doesn't matter what server I try to join same thing happens. Even discord loses connection when I have space engineers open...

I also can't log into my router from my computer but I can through my phone???

Any ideas?!?!?! ugh this is painfully annoying.

Hi, no need to mess with your home router.

1 - The very first thing to do is a PC restart = that usually fixes connection problems.

2 - Verify the game files with Steam :

> How to Verify integrity of game cache:

Restart PC first ...

- Right click on Space Engineers in your Steam Library.
- Go to properties.
- Go to LOCAL FILES tab.
- Click Verify integrity of game cache
- When done try the game.

I've already done that . Restarted my Computer and validated files.

Ok

mmm maybe something with Steam settings!? Verify Steam Pref/settings to see if there is a option in there to stay online.

I would reinstall Steam without uninstalling it so go to Steam website and download the Steam installer on top, save as, when download complete > double click on it and let it reinstatll Steam.

When done > try it on default settings first.

= This way you don't lose any game cause it will install over and keep all games in.

If you already done that ^ >> It is probably a "network issus" or "bad Windows update" installation and this case I would test with another home router before doing a Factory restore of the Windows cause you will lose all data doing so.
