Co-op Not Working

[Chaotic Vision]

So I am trying to play co-op with my brother (yes co-op is activated) and all it gives me is "Attempting to join game." then fails to join. I have tried changing my TCP and UDP, joining through Steam and through in-game invite system but neither work. I am at a loss of ideas as to why I would be unable to join. Any solutions to this problem?

I dont think so because I can join different servers, I just cant join their coop game and nobody can join mine.

How much trouble would it be to check.

The problem with this is that Co-op is peer-to-peer, meaning you are accidentally blocking your friends.

The firewall that comes with Windows 10, which is the most likely source of your issue, defaults to blocking peer-to-peer connections at higher security settings.

Temporarily disable Windows firewall and see if you can play co-op. If this does NOT fix the issue, check your router and then check your antivirus logs. It's likely that disabling Windows firewall will allow you to play co-op with your friends.

Eventually, rather than simply disabling Windows security firewall, you should really go into the activity log, identify your friends, and whitelist them. Then re-enable the firewall.

Tried disabling firewall, tried changing the UDP and TCP rules as well and neither worked.

Nope, for whatever reason it's just me. I'm using Win 10, PC requirements are well met, TCP and UDP rules seem fine, punkbuster is on, no interference from the firewall, we're all on the same steam version. No clue

i know this is not really a solution for the coop problem but i just went ahead and rented a server for a month from the host the game recommends. The price of 11€ seemed fair to me and i got the whole thing working in 10 minutes plus now me and my friend have a 24/7 server

I truly wish I could have helped. I played all day on co-op, using the computer I'm typing on as host. If I had experienced any problems, I'd have been some use to you--but I never have any issues.

All good man, I see plenty of threads on the issue but never any real fixes.
