can't join my friend's game
so basically what happens is that i can launch the game just fine even go to singleplayer but whenever i try to join my friend's world (which we already played on for like 6 hours) i can't load into the world like the loading screen will go up to 50 percent then a little lag will occur then the daily message appears and it locks me there like the "continue" button does nothing even when clicked does someone knows what to do ?

I'm the friend in question, it's still impossible for us to join the others game, even so I reinstalled mine and Exodus followed the instruction in the post

It happens more since 2 months so I strongly recommend to report so the SE Programmers can have a look at this problem and start working on a fix ASAP.

-> Click "Submit Bug" or "Request help" on Support Portal to have a SE Programmer helping you and tell you if they can fix or tell you how to fix :

https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc
(create "Bug report" or "Request help"(Private) or "Feedback"(Petition) on the Portal)

Steps to do Before contacting a SE Programmer :

I recommend to test the following to know if the Host PC can at least run OK without planets and without Mods :

Create a brand new Sandbox named "Red ship v2" on default MP settings so you must disable Experimetal mode before creating the world, this one is already set creative mode and perfect for a Quick test, just set it on friends mode and load to see if better.

+
Set Both PCs game graphic on default Low before loading, you will be able to set Default Medium once both players in, well if all good.

You may also try solutions shared by players having similar problems I have added to Community workaround(s) Pins.

Scroll down to title :

MP - Not able to connect to servers :

It's older solutions shared by players able to fix connection problems and worth to read.

Another thing you may try would be to change the Steam Download Region to see if better when using a different server.

How to change Download Region :
1 - Open your Steam app.
2 - Click on "Steam" link/button in top left corner of your Steam app. and click Settings.
3 - A small Window will open for you to select "Download" on the left list and try other Region from the first option on top of the right side options (first on top).
+
Try the closest region to your home first but some said they tried a lot of different regions before finding a working one.

I will add :

I sometimes Host a local world and same problem happens to my son but I just restart the world to fix, well I sometimes have to restart 2X in a game session.

EDIT
+ I have noticed it is because I lose connection to Steam for a few seconds.

Oh! and today is Not the best day to test MP or test the Workshop because :

-> Steam is down for routine maintenance every Tuesday.

try this, i was having the same exact issue. join your friend through steam, before launching the game. it seems to be alot more reliable, atleast for me.

My son and friend connect to my Local save from the "Join Game" button on my Steam Profile page, that always works very well.
