Can't join my friend on any server, local or purchased dedicated
hey guys, i have a weird issue. my dad and i have tried to play space engineers together in many different ways (hosting a server off of our personal pc, hosting it off of a friends pc, buying a dedicated server, having a friend buy a dedicated server etc...) and no matter what, if i am in a server, or he is. the other cannot join. it spends forever streaming or loading, or it just straight puts our camera into a random point in space with no physical objects loaded. no way to move, or interact, or use any UI. we have done extensive testing of the issue. at this moment. i am in a server with at least 3 other factions. the server works fine for everyone. however when my dad tries to join. the game breaks for him while continuing to work fine. and if he is on and i try to join. the game breaks for me. pls help, this is a very odd issue
I have the same bug
Hello, Bugsy 15!
Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. It sounds like this could possibly be connection related as you mention one is not able to join and it's not the same one each time. Are you and your Dad in the same house? Are you both using the same network? Are either of you using a firewall or any type of antivirus? We have had a few of these issues recently and one was the result of an application (See here: https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/25655-cannot-load-into-anyone-elses-game)
Please can you supply a log file from when the issue happens? Ideally, from both you and your Dad (please have no mods involved)
You can access your log files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Yeah sure! And it hasn't worked when we were on the same wifi, . or as well now when im on my own wifi at my own house. he of course is on separate wifi now. we arent using steam family sharing or anything similar. two comletely separate steam account, wifi, and computers. sadly all i have is a log from a modded server due to a recent factory reset of my computer in attempts to fix this issue. but the issue persists in vanilla as well. i will ask for a log from my father's computer the next time he is on
