CANNOT JOIN PLAYERS OR FRIENDS - FAILD TO CONNECT ERROR NO FIX?
Hi, I'm kinda getting desperate with this game, i managed to play only for a few days, then only offline and it's getting frustrating.
Since a week i can't join any other game, it says it fails to connect.
My friends see me online on steam but not in game, i see them online but it fails to join their games.
Tried rebooting, repairing files, resetting router, removing firewall, setting to friends only and trying to deactivate crossplay and nothing works.
Game is updated, all my other games work fine, so not an hardware issue.
Wat do?

Same here! At least we know we're not alone

Same. Constantly getting disconnected.

I have a friend who I gifted this game; she constantly has this issue. At a certain point, you just have to accept the fact that certain bugs are beyond the developer's skillset to fix.

The devs are not active here, so I would suggest reaching out to them directly via their website. I've seen no acknowledgement that they are even aware of this bug.

Just booted up the game, and the idiotic nProtect GameGuard told me "Failed to connect to the Update server. Check your network connection and try again.", and then opened up my browser to a troubleshooting guide that's, yup, you guessed it, on the Internet.

Like I said, sometimes the devs just don't know how to fix certain problems. But good luck!

I am constantly disconnected aswell, I can only play the 12-15 min missions to even get a chance of completing a mission, and even then I get disconnected a bunch

I have a similar problem, I'm the opposite of Roberto Carlos, I don't have any friends. But I do!! I can play with them, but can't see them on social, but they do see me.

Can't connect to friends at all, not through codes and friends in game or steam itself
My issue is not getting disconnected, I see the other players games but when I try to join them it says it failed constantly.
Also if I use a sos beacon nobody ever joins.

ive got the same issue, have had it for about a month now
It's been going on for over a month now, and they haven't fixed anything or acknowledged the problems because most of the players are fine. There is no point in hoping that they will fix it, either make a refund while you can or use the GearUP Booster, it helps me play with friends/random

Found on the Internet as a solution to the inability to join any game of other players! Below I quote the message.

Hey mate, Was also having this problem and i found a fix that just might help you like it did me.

Close you game and go back to desktop.

Press Windows key and type 'CMD', then run it as Administrator

Enter these commands in order:

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset all

netsh winhttp reset proxy

ipconfig /flushdns

Then restart your PC and launch the game again.

This is nonsense like "make sure your PC is plugged in" lol. It won't work, do you think there are so many topics and no one has figured it out before?

Well, I can’t say how many people have tried this method, to be honest, the game works fine for me, it’s just that my brother had a problem with the inability to connect to me or anyone else, it’s funny that this problem appeared after a week or two of playing after some patch, BUT, this solution I proposed worked for him. The two of us were looking for ways for him to bring the fire of democracy to his enemies again)

And I have to say, since it worked for him, why not share. I searched for this solution in local topics and didn’t see it, so I posted it in the newest topics)
