Bug Description:

Hi there, my friend and I used to coop to go through the game pretty much. We brought the game for such a purpose. Before the 3.0 update, we have been having fun in coop to finish up the exile lands and the island of siptah (unending). But right now after the 3.0 update, we have not been able to join one another, this is pretty saddening. We always play on vanilla and no mods. The connection always states attempting to join … then after awhile it will fail and say cannot connect to server. Your connection to the host has been lost. Please help, we used to be able to join one another, and since this update, we are eager to start a new chapter in the exile lands, but right now, we cannot do anything. Additional information, my friend and I are both able to start the game and play normally without buggy issues (we are the chosen few). It is just the connection issue!!!

Greetings lukewei!
Thank you for reporting your situation regarding the enability to play coop with your friend.

Playing coop with another player involves the tethering system, which prevents both players to wander too far from one another.
In this case, I would advise for one player to join the coop session, go to settings and reduce the tethering distance to a minimum and then have the second player attempt to join.

Let me know if this fixes the issue lukewei!
