Cannot play with anyone in friends list, only randoms.

[A Humble Fry Cook]

Since the last big update my friends and I cannot group up it always says unable to connect. We can all join random games, but none of us can join each other. If we find a random game and join together, the 2nd to join boots out the first one in. We have all played since launch, and this wasn't happening then. I got a response on their discord troubleshooting, we ALL did their fixes, and it still doesn't work. There are 6 of us who always get unable to join with each other.

So a game where you cannot play with your friends list, but can with randoms. Kind of funny but when we try and unfriend each other that fails also.

Stop complaining. They balanced the game by nerfing all the weapons instead of fixing this issue along with all the disconnecting issues and ragdolling. Just play another game if this game isn't for you! /s

That friends list is an abomination.
How many times has it been fixed now? 6? 7?

Same, not able to group up with friends either for a while now.

Same problem with my friends list. For some reason I can only connect to friends who are really far away. I'm on the East coast and I can connect to Australia and Hawaii just fine. But I can't play with anyone on my continent.

Honestly, it's about the weirdest networking problem I've ever seen. I makes no sense.
I tried some of the commonly mentioned fixes like changing my Steam download region, but no help there.

Our squad has been broken for over a week and now and that means the whole game is broken as far as we are concerned. I wish the devs would at least acknowledge the issue, that would give me some confidence they are at least aware of it and trying to fix it.

I did all the recommended fixes and still could not connect. However, when my friend changed his steam region (I did also but didn’t help until he did) we could connect. It’s been working since then, so this MAY help some people.
