CANNOT CONNECT
My friend and I are playing on a vanilla server I run on my PC. Usually, everything is fine. The last two days, though, whenever he connects, he cannot. It says connection cannot be established. Version b336. Nothing has changed. We have verified game files multiple times. Please help.

Same problem. Just started yesterday for my brother and I.

Like a separate dedicated server, or you're running the dedicated server from the same computer you also play on, or are you talking about direct co-op connection?

Did your external IP change? Go to a search engine and type: my ip - make a note if that changed, or just give it to your friend to see if he can connect.

A few days ago, a lot of people were reporting a connection error. Found out it was a Steam issue, but I don't think this is it.

Same problem here. Been running through a bunch of things to fix it and nothing is working. It is just 1 person. Everyone validating has 1 file they need to reacquire over and over though.

Next time we play, I’ll give him my ip and see what happens

HI all! I'm posting our fix, since this seems to be a bug with the most recent hotfix. Spread the word!

It seems to be a combination of things. Primarily these steps seem to work:

- Don't use "censorable" language in your world or password. We had used the word for men's genetalia as our password, and changed it to something normal.
- Change your server password.
- If you don't have a password, set one.
- If your server is private, make it public.
- If you're running EAC, disable it.
- Verify all your game files. If it has one failure, keep running verification until it comes back clear.
- If it won't verify all the files, clear your steam downloads cache.

We did all these things in order of bottom up, the last one causing total fix. So idk which one or which combo it is, but these things worked for us.

Let me know if you try these things and you still can't get it!
