Suddenly unable to join friends game. Loading bar loads to 100% then drops down and gets stuck to 50

Won't Fix

Hello,

Me and my friend have been playing on a modded server for a long time with no issues, overnight suddenly with no new addition of mods or anything it became impossible to join the game. I tried hosting and my friend has the same issue. Whenever we try to join the game the loading bar goes to 100% and then suddenly goes down to 50% and gets stuck there. The game otherwise works and we can join other severs with mods, just not each others. Any help in this matter would be appreciated thank you!

I have the same issue and can report that it occurs without mods as well.


I can occasionally hear things happening in the world I'm trying to load into, like if my friend is dropping something near to where I should be or if it is a local lightning storm, but the game never goes past the Loading screen which stays at 100% alongside the spinning discs which keep moving.

Same problem.

Game loads infinitely, or alternatively it loads in, and when i try to respawn it does the same thing.

Hello Engineer,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.

Could you please confirm, are you currently trying to join your friend’s game via the Steam Overlay?

If so, please try the following workarounds that may help:

  1. Open Space Engineers → go to Join Game > Friends → and attempt to join your friend’s lobby from there (rather than through the overlay). This will likely resolve the issue.
  2. If the friend’s game does not appear in the Join Game screen, please make sure all players (including the host) are using the same Steam Download Region.
  • You can check this under Steam → Settings → Downloads → Download Region.
  • If players are in different regions, please set everyone to the same region as the host.

Once done, the host’s game should appear in the Join Game > Friends screen for all clients. Please check if you can then successfully join this way.

If this resolves the issue, just to let you know, we already have an internal ticket open regarding the problem with joining via the Steam Overlay here;

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/48996

If it does not resolve the issue, please send us the latest log files from both the host and client at the time the issue occurs so we can investigate further.

  • You (all players and host) can access log files by typing %appdata% into the Windows search bar → navigate to Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Kind regards,
