Multiplayer Connection

An issue that has already been mentioned before right here:

 

Been a while since anyone talked about the issue there, but I'd like to know if it's still being investigated or if anyone else struggles with it, potentially found a fix, etc.

Make sure your firewall ports are open at your router and aren't in a list of blocked ports by your ISP. I had that issue with a map mod for the other block game and had to set up port forwarding to something my ISP would allow.

[CelticFox99]

I already have port forwarding enabled, unlocked my firewall, etc.
I've tried everything I could find online

Try hosting server via executable in game directory, it'll load the last world used automatically
If that's not enough disable any form of UPnP both in game and in your router

diagnosing network issues can be a headache truly. things to check (and you might have already)

The game uses an IP and Port (?)

The OS (windows,mac,linux) have 'firewalls' *and* antivirus software that may need to be checked

The router is another point that needs checking.

ISP can also be an issue

and thats for the server and each machine that is joining the server machine

For the life of me, I could not get firewalls/ports to be seen as "Open" by websites like canyouseeme.org, thus could never host my own VS server.

I had to resort to a server host.

same issue im having. no ports at all show as open using a port checking website, but this is the only game i have an issue with, besides wreckfest. i have tried everything. 

EDIT: somehow, today the game is working for me and my friend. last night, nothing would work.
