Having trouble connecting to host

[DonPedro]

All patched up. Launch the game, load my save file. Anyone else getting an error "Having trouble connecting to host". The only option i have is to return to the main menu :(

Ya i have the same problem, No idea how to fix it

[Nate Mc Bow]

Same thing here, guessing something broke.

Same issue - their help/support that says it is caused by a particular program running is not helpful. I do not have that program they mentioned and the article is from a year ago - it is very clearly something wrong with the update (I was playing yesterday and now I can't log in to my main world).

Same here-.-

Same for me and two friends

[Ouranos]

Yeah exactly the same problem :/ But when i'm creating a new game, this is working.

Worst part is if i hit space bar I can hear my guy jumping on the raft. It appears the raft has loaded but is covered by the blue screen with no way to close it :(

new raft - works, old raft having problems with the host, but I hear her drowning

[Normski]

Just tried a new game I started yesterday where I haven't started the story yet and that loads fine

[PowerStranger]

Same for me

"Trying to connect to host..."
"Having issue connecting"

On a savegame I last played yesterday.

New Savegame works but I want my raft :(

Same here. My 'early' game save loads fine, but it is a much smaller raft with no story completed.

I think they did something wrong with old saves, it's not broken, when you press to go to the main menu, you can see your raft breefly, so maybe it's an oversight on their part. Let's keep calling the error out so they can fix it.
I didn't want to start a new game because my raft is huge and very well made, but I think I'll have to start over, a thing I'm not too into doing, but yeah.

From Raft Discord:

We have become aware of an issue where some people can't load their old saves properly, with the message "trying to connect to host..." appearing. We are looking into it and hope to have a fix for you soon!

Than you for your patience!
