Warping with Friend on Freighter not working???

[Osajack]

Hey, I've been trying to warp with a friend on the freighter that I got. I keep looking up posts about it, saying that he either needs be on the bridge or in his ship docked in my freighter, however we've tried this several times but it doesn't work. (He has gotten the hyperdrive and just arrived at the anomaly)

Any input or help would be appriciated...

NMS is not multiplayer friendly. It works, kinda just barely.

Exactly ^^^^^

Be sure to send it to the zendesk helpdesk. 1 - you might be the one to report it. 2 - your report will add to any others reporting the same issue. 3 - either way it will only help getting it fixed (if it does) :)

I had a hitchhiker years ago come on a trip in my freighter to the local galactic hub. He just hung out in the bridge. My experience (it took about 50 jumps to do the final leg)was the warp would happen- the player would be gone from the bridge. After about 10 to 20s, his avatar would materialize on the bridge.

As already noted, MP is pretty shaky even at the best of times. I would try both of you jumping to a new system close by and NOT call in the anomaly. There could be some kind of MP interference going on if you are in a system where you both called in the anomaly to hook up. That would be a possible workaround...but without knowing the details of what exactly is happening...you can just put in a bug report to zendesk.

Your friend needs to dismiss his own freighter entirely first (if he even has a freighter), to board yours and ride along. It's not clear to me if you guys did that step or not.

Beyond that, I also second the advice of @MrBufferlow above.

[Osajack]

Thank you for the overwhelming amounts of replies and help. I will look into it and if it still doesn't work I'll put in a bug report and hope for the best. Thank you all :)

I have reported this already.
It used to work... FLAWLESSLY.

No longer works. PC User here.

They have completely broken multiplayer (fire teams).

[Tolwyn]

This isn't the same issue.

Capital Ship behavior:

Used to be able to fly into the friend's session's Capital Ship.
We could hang out on the bridge, in the hangar, whatever. and the "hosting" session could warp, and we'd go along with them.

Doesn't work anymore. Can't go along with a Captial Ship warp. They leave us behind, and we have to go through the song and dance of trying to, without consistent results, join back on the "hosting friend's sessions" instance.

Please fix. Or at the very least, play your own game and see what many are experiencing. Do you test?

Well, it's broken for some people... my wife and I are both PC users and it still works for us as of today so... I dunno. It's the same with all these friggin' bugs and fixes. Too many configurations to keep it straight - they need to narrow something down somehow to where it is not as sensitive to hardware or something.

you guys aren't playing on updated saves then.

it works with anyone who is on current saves.

[Tolwyn]

What do you mean? I'm on a normal save, one at 200 hours, one at 800 hours.
Both are in the same difficulty realm - Normal and locked.

Both PCs.

Not sure what you mean by "normal saves."

I wish there was an installable tech module for a passenger seat for ships so that friends could fly and warp with you.

i didn't say "normal" i said "updated" as in if you are playing on a save from before a certain update the game will have bugs like this.

if you started a new game after the update that caused the issue then this issue doesn't happen.

[Tolwyn]

Ah. Ok. Interesting.
But why? The save is one large JSON file.
I looked at the source, and there's nothing weird there, except for more bases and possibly some legacy buliding parts.

Are you speculating or...
