same issue here sadly. im guessing the update broke it. not sure why. one thing i will note that this happened when me and my gf saved the game and got off. she is host and saved at the apartment and i was in the hardware store.

Yeah, our group is having the same issue with getting stuck at the Spawn Player screen. Several of us are in IT and have tried all the manipulation we can think of, but can't get in. Fun game, and we are close to filling the last property, but losing a 30+ hours of a 4-player game save feel purrrty bad. Might try the alt version, we'll see...

Haven’t been able to play for two days I can’t join the world of my friend and I’m just stuck on the spawning player screen

I fixed this by having the person joining load their own local save, close, and reopen the game, then join the MP session.

This bug can be identified by the fact that when you load the game, there's no player character on the menu screen. I believe that when it was trying to join the game, it was missing local player character appearance information, so the affected people have to load a save that has player character information and save it, before the game will not stall at loading....

It didn't matter, the player joined with the appearance they've always had previously in the MP game, but the lack of player character info locally appears to be the problem
