Multiplayer missions not loading
I bought this game with a friend, tried starting the first multiplayer mission which loads fine solo but it won't load after even 5 minutes of waiting when my friend is in the lobby with me

1) Please select "Multiplayer" in the lobby screen, where you can see the four firefighters (instead of "Steam Invite Only").

2) If you want to play with a Steam friend, please invite him via the Steam Client:
- Open the Steam friend list
- Click on your friend and select "Invite into lobby"

3) If other players join your multiplayer lobby in the meantime, you can remove them from the lobby via the kick function.

Hey guys,

Could you please try to switch the host of the multiplayer session? This could be caused by a slow internet connection.

I have the faster connection of me and my friend, it's a technical issue with the game because it's happening to other people when trying to add steam friends

@CaptainGeo, we have the same issue. We both have fast connections with low latency.

Thank you for the information. Does it work for you if you try to open a new multiplayer session in-game to let your friend join this session instead of inviting him or are you not able to play in multiplayer at all?

So I eventually loaded in but my friend didn't. He stayed on the loading screen. He ended up doing a Alt F4 when I was at the fire and he was still loading.

Same issue here, tried with a multiplayer lobby instead of invite only as well. Seems to work just fine.

No, we tried this as well. Just keeps the spinning thing in the left corner forever.

Yeah in multiplayer sessions pings are at 9999

@Diego Pings in multiplayer sessions are currently displayed wrong with 9999. No need to worry.

I found a possible fix but not sure if it will work for everyone. Launch the mission just in multiplayer even if you're only playing with Steam friends. The option to have it set to Steam invite only causes the loading screen bug
