No other players in the Space Anomaly?

[kranken]

I remember when I last played 4 years ago, that I'd see other players in the Anomaly. Now I've played 20 hours since Omega expedition released and I haven't seen a single person.

Is this a removed feature or what? My Online Discovery Services is enabled and I am able to teleport to other player bases so it's not my connection.

make sure you have multiplayer enabled

esc -> options -> network -> multiplayer

Like I mentioned, I have multiplayer enabled which is why I can access other player bases through the teleporter. I have that exact specific option set to Enabled.

Maybe a problem with your router ports or firewall? I always see lots of people

You can see other people's bases with multiplayer disabled if they have been uploaded to the server. So seeing other bases by itself doesn't mean your multiplayer is enabled/working. Try restating your router and your PC maybe? You're in Germany so you should be seeing quite few people on Anomaly.

Make sure your windows update is up to date. Sometimes you have to manually hit 'update' to make it actually go look for updates; because windows is garbage.

Also, make sure your system clock is synced. I know it sounds silly, but if it's even off by a few seconds, games can glitch out with certain things. And it's the same issue with updates. Even if you have it set to auto update or auto sync, windows sucks and doesn't always do what it's told.

seeing other peoples bases and having multiplayer enabled are two different things

Dropping in to post my usual thing with these threads:

If you use a VPN and have it turned on when playing NMS, you will not see anyone in the Anomaly even with MP turned on. So, if you're using one and want to see other players, turn it off at least while you're in the Anomaly.

I left Omega apart until they update what they wrote on the experimental branch to normal and then first check which mods work and which don't (only mods that make the graphics more beautiful)

yep this is 100%. If you're using a VPN you can't see anyone in the anomaly.

Thanks, this was the answer. I'm not happy that I had to deactivate my VPN.

I suppose I will just have to disregard the multiplayer aspect of the game if my only recourse is to otherwise disable my VPN.

Enjoy the lag free experience.

sometimes it happens, when it does occur i just exit the save game, back to main menu, load back in and there people there.

Well, the good news is that the multiplayer aspect of the game isn't very robust, anyway. You won't be missing much unless, of course, you wanted to play alongside other people. Or ship-watch on the Anomaly, which I like to do.
