Can't Play Multiplayer!!!

[LegitNotSerpent]

I have been trying to play multiplayer with my friends for a bit now and I can't join a lobby.
When I attempt to join a lobby it goes into character selection for a split second then kicks me back into the main menu OR It puts me into character selection but I cant see anything besides the characters and the menu on the right. It doesn't say that anyone is in the lobby at all or has connected to it and I can't even ready up. Any help would be appreciated.

I have read other forums and people have mentioned mods could be causing the issue but I actually have used mods before and the issue started then but now I have completely and manually uninstalled the mods from risk of rain 2 and I have also reinstalled risk of rain 2 4+ times and I still cannot get it working. I'm getting really frustrated I really need help

OK so I had this issue today and what my issue was is my internet connection was super super slow causing the lobby to not load and no one being able to see their dude spawn in the lobby. I also run a VPN so I change the protocols from FreeVPN to OpenVPN. But the issue was 100% the connection speed I had.

I had this problem a week ago and then today when i joined. for me it was because one of the players had a VPN active and they couldn't connect. they disabled the VPN now and it worked

One of my mates was not able to join our lobby. He always got black screen when joining into character selection. He fixed the issue by changing his PC from static IP to DHCP.
