[Gameplay] Story - Coop Unable to Join Game bug

[shieox]

I started a game with a friend but after we called it a night after the first session I was unable to join the story game again. The screen dims as if it is joining the game, but it just times out and goes bright again.

We did find a work around, if I started the game and hosted and he joined the lobby we could quit out of that and go back to joining his game and it worked. A week later and now it is not working. We are both on stable 1.00a, but it did eventually say the other person was on a different version when we tried joining each others' story mode game.

Any solution would help a lot, as we are really enjoying the game.

Hey!

Make sure you are both on the same version of the game, and that you both have "Steam" as networking option in the Game Options!

If it still doesn't work, you might be able to find out more about why it doesn't work by switching to the Frontline branch, as it has a bit more vocal network error messages when connecting.

How to switch to Frontline:

1) First, open up Steam and go into your Library:
2) Right click on Secrets of Grindea
3) Click on Properties (should be the last option)
4) In the window that pops up, select the Betas tab
5) Click on the drop down list to reveal its contents
6) Select "frontline"

Thanks for the reply!
We're both on same version and have selected "Steam" as networking option. We'll try Frontline out.
