How do you play multiplayer for #$%@s sake.

[WelvynZPorter]

Hey! Been in a party with a friend for half an hour, we have no idea how to find a match to play together. How do you join a co-op mission.

Yes, we did the 5 intro missions, got to the head of the ship with the star map.

Are the more missions we have to do? We are already in a party together, my friend shows up in my game, but we cant find how to matchmake.

To the right of the star map is the coop thing. If you're in a party together simply select a non story mission and you can play together.

The story missions "pink missions" are solo only.

Also if you experience lag let me know I have a suggested fix I would like you to try since so far it's had nothing but positive results when doing coop.

We are not seeing a co-op match. Do we have to do the Relay Station mission single player before we get those? We finished the 5 starting missions, joined the game together, and nothing..

I feel your pain, I don't want to buy a co-op game, and then have to unlock the ability to play it co-op. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to force that.

hmm my coop console was there after the 5 intro missions. Honestly I wouldn't recommend doing 4 player coop atm as it's usually laggy as all hell.

If you don't see the console with the coop hovering over it then yea you might wanna try to do 1-2 more missions and see if it shows up.

"edit" a friend who just got the game said the console is directly to the right of the star map next to the little astropath dude you may just be missing it because he said the coop lettering color blended with the background.....

Also only the host could interact with it.

I don't mind so much when it is clear what unlocks it. Ive had a dev (or mod) tell me that you have to do 5 tutorial missions, invite a friend to your party, and start matchmaking.

Did all that. Invited friend, we see each other in game, global chat doesn't work, star map doesn't show co-op missions, can't find matchmaking, and I'm being told different things from different sources. I just want to play co-op LOLOL

Just saw your edit. I'll check it out. But all I saw in my game after 5 missions was the star map, storage, shop, and option computer.

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I don't think I saw the co-op station light up until I did a story mission or two past the tutorial missions.

It was not. I logged off for the night but my friend continued onward. After a few missions AFTER the 5 tutorial missions, she got the co-op terminal.

The fact we could join each others game confused us into thinking we had met the conditions needed. Guess we didn't. Devs should disable the ability to join a friend without multiplayer being available.

If you're getting the lag and rubberbanding port forward these ports if you're host.

TCP: 27015-27030,27036-27037
UDP: 4380,27000-27031,27036

If you're not host you should let the person hosting know to forward those ports. So far all my friends who had the lag and stuff had it fixed simply by forwarding these ports.

Guessing it was showing up for my friend because the person he invited to party had it unlocked so he could see it as well. I didn't really pay attention to it till I unlocked all the npcs in the ship which is why I wasn't completely sure if it was there beforehand or not.
