Cannot host a singleplayer/coop session

[uroyoan]

Hello fellow exiled!

I’m trying to play with my friend by PC utilizing the single-player/Co-op Function in the main menu.

I have tried running it with:

1. One Mod
2. No mods
3. With a password
4. With no password
5. Disabling BattlEye
6. Inviting from the in-game menu button when you press esc
7. Inviting from steam chat
8. Checking if we have the same versions/updates

When using a password, he gets the prompt, types it, but then he cannot connect.
He cannot connect to me nor I to him.

We also connected to a public server to see what will happen, and we both connected no problem and met each other in that server.

I just want to play with a friend of mine in my server so I can adjust settings to match us instead of the usual clan sized group that the game is meant for. (Also faster crafting).

Which ports must I open? he was at the menu screen, we also constantly turned off our machines/game to see if there was some problem there.

I don’t know if you still have issue, but I had the same problem, which i resolved. Here is the specific way to open the ports you need :

I didn’t understand anything about ports at first either I’ll try to help you as much as i can. So, I’ll screen what i did : 1- type firewall to get access to it. [Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%20(1)] 2- When you’re in, go to where i put the red box (sorry, it’s in french )[gsgsd] 3- then, next red box: new rule [fffff%20-%20Copie] 4- go on port [gqgqg] 5- Then TCP, and you put what’s needed here : 25575,27015-27030,27036-27037 [gqgs] 6- Then autorise the connection 7- …

Hope you sort it out !
