Can't join friend's MP session on Star System (Loading screen stuck at 100%)

SchereKohorte27 shared this bug ago

Solved

We are trying to play on Star System in survival mode but I can't seem to join his lobby. The loading screen is stuck at 100% and just keeps on loading. We already tried some things including:

1. Verifiying game files

2. Deleting the SpaceEngineers.cfg file

3. Deleting the SpaceEngineers folder in Roaming

4. Changed the download region

We can join other worlds tho, just not Star System and we do not know why

Any help is appreciated <3

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:

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.
If your friend’s game does not appear in the Join Game screen, please ensure that all players (including the host) are using the same Steam download region and that no VPN is active on either the host’s or the clients’ side.

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,
