cant join server?

[Happyhealth]

Most of the time, i can join my friend's server without an issue. But sometimes out of the blue, i cant join my friend's server at all. From what my friend says i do appear in the server, but stucks at 0% loading for eternity.

Just like today, i cant join server no matter how many restarts i have tried. I have also tried to verify game files but i still cant join my friend's server. Does anyone else has this problem?

There's some big performance issues with MP. The game itself is incredibly demanding on CPUs just in the base game alone. Add in any multiplayer features, and this workload on the CPU increases as the game now has to juggle the game calculations and network calculations for MP.

Big question here is, what CPU do you and your friend have?

For mine is Ryzen 5 2600 3.40 GHz, my friend one is i5 10gen 2.5GHz

We do have issues during gametime such as desync and crashes. But not able to join at the first place is a rare sight

It's your friend's CPU causing the major problems.
He can barely run the game as it is on that CPU if it's only clocking in at 2.5Ghz and not going to the full boost. If it's a laptop, that's even more problematic as it's not drawing as much power and it generates more heat so it undergoes more downclocking than a desktop CPU.

You'd make a better host, but your CPU might also struggle running the game late game if it downclocks too much under all core usage (which the older Ryzen CPUs tend to do compared to the 5000 and 7000 series CPUs).

Try putting the game in your C drive, both you and person hosting
