can't join game

[SeaPotato]

Since October last year I've been periodically trying to join multiplayer servers on Empyrion with no success. I've never breached terms of service, I've always helped new players, about 2500 hours played. I really miss multiplayer, does anyone have any ideas?
I tried verify several times, reinstalled, those things didn't help,
I get as far as connecting to a server, 15 minutes and only a few assets load and it seems to stop there. EDIT(I've tried it a lot longer)
I moved addresses and service providers last October but this had no effect on any other game or steam related utility as far as I'm aware.

Sounds like you don't let the download finish.

[Es'carli]

The speed in which the files are downloaded is limited for a number of reasons (forget what they are), that's my understanding.

Which is why you need to simply let it finish.

Also, if you really want a response on bug reports then you really do need to raise it on their forums.

The game limits download speeds when joining a server to extremely slow speeds.
Very, very, slow speeds....

Even if you have lightning fast speeds from your internet provider you are still limited by the games built in limitation.

It is very slow. Like single digit megabyte speeds, and can frequently drop to less than a megabyte per second (devs have never shared the actual spec).

That limitation is split between everyone trying to join as well, so the more people the slower it will be.

Popular servers running a heavily customized scenario for example can take 45+ minutes on fist join easily, and even longer with multiple people trying at once.

It really just depends on how much data needs to sync and how many people.
You might get lucky and it may go fast, or you may be waiting an hour.

And of course that's all the help we can provide with the limited info you've provided.

Devs can't even look into your issue without at least having log files (which may or may not have anything useful in them anyways).

[Es'carli]

Then get yourself onto their forums like I suggested previously....

You would need to check your post there.

Share with us the link to your post where you shared the logs with the devs and we will be happy to check if they have had any updates for you ;)

Aside from that, they still can't look into it for you until you provide all the necessary information.

You said you "tried that" already, so we just need the link.

[Es'carli]

Really?

[TwitchyJ]

The devs still can't help you until you provide them with your log files.

Quoting yourself over and over while providing zero of the required information doesn't change things.

Clearly OP is just a troll at this point.

It's probably not healthy for you to obsess over me.

Well, we tried to help. Can't say fairer than that

I can't remember your name, you're original answers didn't fix the issue. I'm not sure what your comments are since because I blocked you to save time.

Do you have the log files ?

There are 73 log files with names ranging from 2939 to 4019 with varying client text documents in each file.
I don't know which one I should share, probably the lowest or highest number file?
I'm guessing the highest number file (it's probably holding the lastest activity, I don't know)...I see there's the date of the doc.
