Attempting to connect

[THE ARCANE STATE]

I'm completely unable to start an expedition, in the mode select Community Expedition is just stuck at attempting to connect. If I try to join my gf who is hosting an expedition, the game hangs on Downloading Data and nothing happens.

I've tried quitting and reloading, I've tried verifying cache, I've tried reinstalling, I've tried restarting my pc and nothing has changed. I don't use any mods, and as far as I'm aware all the other game modes work fine.

I also have same issue. I tried yesterday and tried today same issue each time. My friends can connect to each other fine in Expeditions but i get same issue as above. I can host other multiplayer game types with no issues just not the Expedition. Has anyone found a fix for this?

Seems that to many player going for the expedition, which overloads the HG server...

Really? Then i must be really unlucky. I had a 2 friends who tried same time as me for over an hour and they could connect every time no issues, I on other hand could not connect even once :(

I was stuck with that issue for the longest time on Windows 7 till I found this solution: https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/3080999687775310528/?ctp=4#c3175575850965856447

If you aren't on W7 then I don't have any suggestions, sorry!

Hi Neno,

Thank you for giving me a starting point to troubleshoot this issue with a good friend.
At first the microsoft guide didn't seem to work after we made sure all updates where there and the folders added in the registry. However further down in the solution there is a quick fix link, using that added more lines that are needed because after that was applied we can now connect to the Community Exp. From what we can gather it has some kind of link to Internet explorer protocol somehow. It seems without that fix the connection dose not feel your encryption is secure enough. Not sure on the details i'm no Techy, but there something there that the Quick fix solves.

I hope this helps others, its late here now so tomorrow i can finally try and do a community event!

Community events are only on weekends. Will be over soon.

Thank you Neno, I'm now able to play the expeditions at last. I was worried I'd miss out on the Normandy.

Also SirProsik, we're talking about community expeditions, not events
