does multiplayer still work?

[Prince Ice Blaze Winters]

i have the game through the pc gamepass, cause that's how i discovered the game was through the xbox store

i tried to go into multiplayer but it kept giving me an error message so no network or some sh*t

Hi.
Yes Multiplayer Servers are online and avaible.

Please Post your Error Message.
Maybe your Windows FireWall Blocks the Game(?)

Network Error
ERROR: Disconnected from Server
Please verify your Internet connection and try again.

my computer is hardwired with an ethernet cord directly into my modem and is constantly connected to the internet

[Saint Marold YT]

Have you tried adding the game to the Windows Firewall exceptions list?

[Prince Ice Blaze Winters]

it has access

[Saint Marold YT]

Open the Port for the Game "7777 TCP/UDP" and for the Steam Ports https://help.steampowered.com/de/faqs/view/2EA8-4D75-DA21-31EB

Try this:

And when nothing Helps i have some more possible Solutions:

1) Verify Game Files and start Game with Admin Rights
2) When possible install the Game new on a SSD and test again
3) Switch between Fullscreen and Windowed Mode (Fullscreen Mode is known for some weird Issues sometimes)
4) Install the Support Branch and reproduce the Issue and look in the Log Files. https://steamcommunity.com/app/816090/discussions/0/1698300679777940210/

the steam stuff won't work for me cause i have the game through the pc gamepass store

but i did open up the ports, and even did a full shut down on my computer while i was gone for the doctor, and i still can't get into the multiplayer

keeps giving the same error message

[Prince Ice Blaze Winters]

running the game in admin mode didn't even help

Are you behind a firewall appliance like sophos, pfsense, opensense etc. ? Than check your logs.
If you're behind a consumer router you don't need to open any ports.
All outgoing ports for deathwing are allowed as soons as you tell your windows firewall or any other software firewall APP X is allowed to communicate with INet.

And deathwing uses a wide range of UDP ports. Port 7777 is outdated and won't work.
If you're able to play other games on gamepass in multiplayer, than everything is ok.

You can't play with steam users cuz as far as i know gamepass version is diffrent than steam version.

On PC it is absolutely still alive, weirdly dedicated fanbase and lately something has happened I thought would never happen to this game, the playerbase is growing quite healthily, from the noob up again too.

I wonder if the Xbox game still has servers hosting it's matchmaking, also the game numbers are relatively high on PC for this game in general, but there is a weird avoidance in hosting games, lot's just camp for a game, or hop on, scan the server list then adios right away.

The player population being stuttered into different time zones will definitely make you feel like you're the only player online once in a blue moon but then just as you're considering uninstalling due to dead-game, all of a sudden there's 5 active servers in the server browser and recurring squads ups.

I'm not great at bugfixing on this particular game but I've gotten around a few fatal errors.
Make sure you have the correct version of the game, I'm not sure about hte PC gamepass thing, but If the issue is you cant actually get into the multiplayer, the fix I found was put it in windows 8 compatibility mode in the properties of the actual executable file (not in steam or the shortcut) right click on deathwing go to local files and browse local files, right click on the executable file and click properties, go to compatibility and set compatibility mode windows 8 and set it so it always runs with administrative privileges <- First fix I found online, reinstalling might help if that doesn't.

Do you Play in america ? I always log on and its the same 3 people playing behind passwords so i don't get the game is full of players remark as in EU there is none all day everyday.
Prince i would refund the game and get something else.

[Nøcturnus]

Yeah, I honestly don't know why they keep the servers up on this thing. Maybe 1-2 games going (if any) behind passwords or they are modded servers or other servers that are lagged to hell. It WAS a good game when it was active for maybe 400hrs of gameplay but it died..... hard.... If you have a friend or 2 you personally know to play with and join your game it would be worth maybe like 10-15bucks imo as a Warhammer fan.
