Co-Op not working for some?

[Crimzen]

Ive read up that many others are having the same issue of not being able to join a friends game and Im having the same issue. When I first got the game I could join my friends game, they could join mine but the second day only they can join me and I can't join them.
I have tried joining from my games library, they steam page, friends list, msg invite all with game open and game closed. Every time is the same - quick flash of the sky, then some bump sound and the intro window of this being pre-alpha and a swirl at the bottom that never gives the launch button to click.

Is this going to be addressed any time soon?

Royal pain in the arse cause HAD I enjoyed playing with my friends Id have purchased the game but seems to be all to fimiliar with uplay games......... nothing but issues that stop me joining my friends. I know its a free test but still........ nothing making me wanna go buy it cause knowing the luck Ive had so far...... ill buy it and still wont be able to join ppl

Just to make sure, did you check your firewall? Astroneer needs an exception there. I've noticed lots of people had that issue recently.

I have astroneer and never had to change anything but no ive not done anything with my firewall - I dont know anything about that stuff - I just play games, Im not computer tech savvy

It's really easy. Here's a tutorial (there are more, too): https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/542-windows-firewall-add-remove-exception.html

well i can play multiplayer now, i can join friend games but i havent tried inviting them to mine yet, i just had to restart the game each time i wanted to join him
but thanks for the feed back guys

I accpeted my frien'd invite, then got taken to a loading screen, then was told to click left mouse button, i clicked it, and then i was taken back to the menu... I heard that From there I could select a player to go into multiplayer with, but it just took me to a new singleplayer world (I think), but there's no way to tell, because there doesn't seem to be any indication of whether or not it's actually multiplayer. Maybe I was connected, but too far away to see him, IDK. I've allowed the game through the firewall too.

Yeah I'm seeing several issues with my multiplayer games, even on a LAN connection so it's not Internet-related.

1. Sometimes a Join Game simply doesn't work and it kicks you to the main menu instead where single player is now your only option.

2. Non-hosts are randomly disconnected.

3. Pretty serious lag issues for non-hosts.

4. Data integrity issues for object placement. Things like tethers are sometimes placed in different locations for both players.

5. Visibility issues. A player won't be visible or other objects placed won't be.

Hoping to see multilplayer issues resolved soon! Since it's almost a hack to even get into multiplayer right now (no in-game method) that makes me believe it's very early in the dev process. Keep at it devs and we will keep testing!

Well, that's what it is kinda is. A pre-alpha.

I found a fix, as much as I hate it this game for some reason only loads games made after you DOWNLOAD the game, so you can not join games made before you got this game, so your friends need to make a new game for you to join.
