Hosting Problem

Hi Grindea Community,

I didn't want to post this in the Bug section, as I wanted to first try it here if somebody has the same issue or if its just a minor problem on my side.


Before the Steam update, we did the Host/Join with Hamachi, which was working, but we were happy that the Steam feature was implemented.

But since, I think the x.xxx fufu version (I think it was the last bigger update since the Steam update), I cannot Host game. It is possible for me to open/host a game, but nobody of my friends can join. They say they get a flashing screen, but they never enter my server.

For me on the other side, nothing has changed in respect to joining in my friends hosted games.

I tried it with two friends, same problem.


Since I did not find anything in the bug section, it seems like I am maybe the only one with the problem.


Maybe someone has a clue what it could be or how it could be solved.


Steps I did for now:
- Since the time I could actually host a game, I didn't change anything special (in terms of firewall, Anti-Virus software, Port opening ....)
- deleted all game files and loaded them again via Steam
- tried different steps of joining (from the game, or directly from windows via a Steam invitation)

This is a long shot, but do you have the "Drop In"-setting in the lobby set to "yes"?

My friends are not online anymore .... but I checked anyway ... and it was set to "No".

I try it tomorrow, if that was the problem, then I already can say thank you for that simple answer and for me I can at least say that I now have an account here on the forums.

If that really fixes the problem I should reconsider my approaches to future problems I encounter ^^

Let's hope changing it to "yes" works!

The host should still be able to invite even if it's set to no, but maybe that's what is bugged? I guess we'll see tomorrow!

It did do the trick.

Thank you for your accurate and rather simple answer. Now I can host a game. as I have a better connection than my friends ^^
