Unable to join peer to peer game

I have the same issue. This didn't happen right before the update came out, as I was playing with my friend at the time on his world.

I have tried hosting, but whenever he tries to connect to my world, his game crashes.

We both bought the Apex Survival DLC.

Hello Engineers,

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,
