Wow ty so much. Weird but ty lol

Sometimes the "host" needs to send a lobby invite first then after that join through steam overlay. At least it worked for me.

I had this problem and i figured that evrytime you make a name to join and it has CAPS or SPACES it wouldnt let me join that game but, if you type a simple word all with lower cases then it joins.

Example:

Create session name - Capital = Wont be able to join
Create session name - capital = able to join.

i hope this helps because it worked for me.

The only thing not addressed in this after me and my friend tried, it took another search to find the answer.. MAKE SURE YOUR REGIONS ARE SET TO THE SAME UNDER SETTING US, EUROPE ETC that fixed it for us the rest of these are non-sense

[R.J.Travis]

Make sure your both in the same server realm. by default it put my find in the EU server even tho he lives in the US

Make sure you're both running the same version of the game. Launching the game through Steam will give you the prompt to open either original or DE, but if you launch the game from Desktop it will ONLY launch the original.

Once you're on the same version progress through the tutorial zone until you wake up in your house in Cierzo. Then you can open your game to multiplayer and host/join.

I just spent that last 20min going through this. I bought the game back in 2019.
If one of you has the original game and the other has teh Definitive edition you will not be able to play together.

Only if your friend is ONLY launching Definitive Edition. If they launch vanilla/Oldward via their Steam library's launch function you can play together just fine.
