Outriders COOP " connection to host failure"

[Actionhanz]

Hello, i like the game in general and so far the demo really motivated me to buy it on release.

However..... i simply cannot engage in multiplayer??? i tried open, friends invite, crossplay and so on, every trick i found on google, but no one worked. I simply cannot connect to other players what so ever? Is this a bug or some sort ? because i definitly wont buy a game that is advertised as multiplayer and then fails to proof it in a demo. I cannot connect to my friends and they cannot connect to me. I tried to google for this issue but for some reason there is no thread to be found so far... as if the demo is literally dead.

Anyone else experienced this ? i even try to connect to random people but all that happens is, that the game tells me there is a session ... then i accept it ... the loading wheel slooooooowly crawls to 80% where it stops and leaves me with an " connection to host failure" message?

any fixes for this ? or should i just delete this demo and move on ? i dont want to be a lab-rat for bad developers, im tired of this ♥♥♥♥.

Have the same issue, really hope this is either fixed by launch or is just a problem with the demo.

[Xurioner]

[Scissorman]

''that is advertised as multiplayer'' unfortunately this is wrong, this game is basically a singleplayer online game, with no dedicated server for game sessions. For the coop you (or another player) need to be host with a peer to peer connection between you and the other two players. Actually the matchmaking still not work properly. If you have problem as host probably you need to open some doors in your router.

A singleplayer online game sounds ... anyway it seems to be broken after the patch, before i could join games or other people joined me. Now it takes ages to connect and then it stuck on 80%. No thats not only an issue on my side.

[OvEr_KiLL]

happening since latest patch too cant connect to anyone!!!!

[Count Minaba]

Oh well... it will get fixed. Seems it broke with yesterdays patch.

[Said]

Damn that's painful. I picked it up yesterday and stopped playing at the co-op bit. Gotta wait until fixed i guess to see what it'S all about :(

[Ripchip]

Same problem here. A friend and i cant connect each other.

[Justice Potato]

The whole MP experience has been pretty horrible.

3 friends here. By mere change 2 of us managed to join and play together, but the third friend has been unable to. Please fix.
