cannot host lobbies
I always seem to get the "connection failed" whenever i try to host a lobby. I made sure windows fire wall is allowing cta but not sure what else i can do. I could find nothing in the FAQ regarding the issue.

Having almost same problems in last times. Looks like devs broke the multiplayer by last update. The ping much higher then i was earlier. I hope they will fix as soon as possible.

Be sure to verify game files and check for updates sometimes an update is due while you're in-game which will need a game restart.

Yes i tried verifying and updates also have been done. ( including drivers ).
This issue has been going on now for a while, maybe even from the start.( since last holidays sale).

Only thing i can think of is that my virus scanner somehow blocks p2p connection when i try to host. I've looked through the settings but i cannot see a conflicting setting.

Can you join games hosted by others?

That seems to work, with the occasional "connection failed".
Hosting seems to always fail.
My internet speed should be good enough, same for my specs.

If you are unable to host but able to join others, it is likely related to local network routing.

Please make sure you have all these ports forwarded.

Also make sure you have UPnP enabled & the game is added to your firewall exclusion list.

I checked if all the ports where forwarded and enabled the uPnP

(the ports)
Steamworks P2P Networking and Steam Voice Chat
UDP remote port 3478
UDP remote port 4379
UDP remote port 4380
UDP remote ports: 27014-27030

But unfortunately i still get a long waiting screen of creating server instance and eventually a connection failed message. Thanks for your help in advance though!
