Multiplayer Failed To Connect

[Phish]

When we have created a world, I invite my friends and they get failed to connect, also fails when I try to join them? Does the NewGame Multiplayer not work or something?

Sadly, this is out of date and doesn't work. Many copies bought for friends and the multiplayer doesn't work. I'd really like some more help...

Yep ! i know its out of date .. though it helps still with opening ports .. Also there is a nat option in one of the configs you can try disabling

Friends still cannot try to join... Just seems a little off... a game advertised on Co-operation and the whole multiplayer aspect is either only able to work if I pay for a server or plough through this awful system of setting up. It's really not good at all for groups of friends just wanting to play, spent alot of money all together and we can't play :/

No more up to date things or a proper step by step guide to help setup?

Howdy ! The came is cooperative . Sadly the game is still in early access and bugs are unfortnatly a part of any early access games. Dont worry we soon will iron those issues out . There is no need to buy or pay for any server if you dont want to host it at a 3rd part provider

I know that there's no need to, but we currently cannot play the game together in multiplayer. This guide just doesn't work and we get failed to connect constantly.

can you run the server manually from you gamefolder Eco_data/server ? and see if that works and you can join that as a workaround ?

Phish, keep in mind that this game JUST came out on Early Access. And some client side bugs don't always come out during dev phases.

Only things I can think of are port and may options, but you could also look for something in your server settings, maybe there's some random "invite only" option that's checked? :/

We ran the Manual server thing and once it had loaded up it crashed when I tried to join the server. Any ideas?

[NoBlackThunder]

can you check the dumb folder and give me the content of the crash file?

So, we restarted, I join, it now says Connecting for a much longer period of time and then says connection failed.

So, any help? We're still unable to join
