Hello shoppers! A new patch is live that hopes to address networking issues some players are having.
Microphone & Voice Chat: We have added in a fix that should address this for players who were experiencing voice chat issues. This issue would occur when you could not hear your teammates or they could not hear you despite microphone settings being correct.
Joining and Hosting Lobbies: Some players were experiencing an issue where they could not join or host lobbies. Sometimes an error would occur that would state: "The match you are trying to join is running an incompatible version of the game." We have added a fix so players who were running into the issue should be able to join and host lobbies correctly now.
If you are still having any networking issues after the patch, here is a list of things to check:
Check Antivirus and/or Windows Defender and make sure to whitelist the game.
Be sure to run the game .exe as administrator.
Check the no other program is using port 7777.
Disable your VPN (we notice this can be an issue for some players in non-US countries).
If our patch today did not fix your networking issues and none of the above did either, please let us know so we can work on a fix for you ASAP! You can leave a comment here, in the Steam discussions board, or join the Discord and report them to us directly there!
We know networking issues can hamper the shopping experience, so we'll continue to monitor and work to resolve any issues that your report!
