I’ve been searching for answers to this issue for a long time now, and it seems that nobody can give a good solution. I just bought this game yesterday, and I’m trying to play co-op with my friend, and he can join my game just fine through the Steam Friends overlay, but I am completely unable to join when he hosts the game. It isn’t an issue on his end, as my friend #2 is able to join him with no issues, but every time I try to join him it gives me an error: “Pending Connection Failure: could not connect to server. Connection to the host has been lost.” I’ve tried nearly everything I can think of to fix this issue; restarting the game/my PC, double checking the firewalls, checking my internet speed and connection, uninstalling and reinstalling BattleEye, verifying the game files through Steam, but nothing has worked. I’m starting to go insane; this is such an annoying issue that is giving me absolutely nothing to go off of.
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
1.(Either from Steam or in-game through the Steam Overlay) Right click my friend’s profile, select “Join Game”
2. The game boots up and says “Attempting to join game”
3. Wait 10 seconds
4. Error message pops up, saying “Pending Connection Failure”
5. Cry
6. Repeat
