Multiplayer not working

[Rodster]

Anybody else having issues with the multiplayer now that it's back on steam? When we try to join each other through steam invites, it simply doesn't work. No error messages or anything.

[Herr Orange]

Yeah, same here, trying it with my wife and the game is just not doing anything

[Tutek]

same here

[Rid]

doesnt work through ubi launcher either, Multiplayer desync with LR40
Cant play multiplayer since the last update.

[Tactical Wargamer (Richard)]

Have they addressed this? Hope it on the next hotfix?

[Rid]

Well they mentioned problems with starting the game - they "investigating problem" but didnt see anything "official" about problems with multiplayer, yet loads of ppl have issues, posting either here or ubi forum.

I found fix for that.

You need open "Ubisoft Connect" with you have installed along with Anno.
Go to "Friends and groups" and hit "add friend" just next to search bar.
Find your friend by his Ubisoft nickname and add him to friend list.

Now when you open Anno Multiplayer lobby, instead of inviting friend by game (steam), minimalize game and go to Ubisoft Connect. RMB on your friend there and invite him there.

DONE :)

Thank you for coming directly to the thread. Please find my answers below:

- LR40 troubleshooting steps didn't help and mostly not relevant to Steam, as games are aligned in versions automatically (I don't really know people who blocks updates)

- I'm trying to connect with my wife, so it's both PCs, one is running Windows 11 the other is a Fedora Linux machine

- No mods (I assume 3rd party), but all DLCs are installed

- No VPN or Proxy in use, however we're on the same network and based on some reddit posts, it's the way game handles NAT, that might be the problem for people on a same network.

No problem, thank you for the details !

For the next part of our investigation, I invite you to provide us with the following :

- Does the problem persist when one of you is connected to a different network (mobile phone hotspot, if your provider / contract allows for it) ?

- Is the problem still happening when trying to connect between 2 Windows machines (dual boot for example, not necessarily a new PC) ?
