charomega Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 My laptop: Win10 Pro, DST run as admin, enabled firewall. Her laptop: Win10 Home, DST run as admin, enabled firewall . Whenever I host a game (with or without cave), she just can't join me, it keeps stating that "Server is not responding". I don't use any mod at all. We tried this many times in few days, no luck. However, she can join other servers without any issue. This is frustrated because I bought this game just to play with my gf. Interesting though, when she hosts a game, I can join in without issue. But due to laptop ownership, it is safe & convenient to host game using my laptop, not hers. Her laptop has lower spec, and sharing usage with other and some other issue. I want to emphasize that we do want only host game using my laptop. Besides, I have no issue joining other people's server. What is wrong with my laptop DST set up? Please help solve this problem.

Starlogy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I mean, you can't honestly expect a dev to help you out that quickly, especially with that attitude. Have you tried verifying game files? And are both of your games updated? And how are you trying to join her, through the server list or the friend list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we are ****** up. Both of us cannot play DST. What official forum is this? No one response, no one help. Am I doing something wrong with this forum? I think I was emotion. Imagine I purchased the game and be like "hey gf, we gonna have some fun & exciting times!" Then there goes the problem. We both be like "argh!" Posted in forum and no one seems to care about their customer. There goes double "argh!". I apologize for that for my attitude. Sorry. Quote Have you tried verifying game files? And are both of your games updated? And how are you trying to join her, through the server list or the friend list? I have no idea how to verifying game files. With laptops always connected to internet, I noticed the Steam always check for update upon launching DST. We both should be no problem on game udpate. We both try to join each other through the server list by searching keywords. We also always set up password for server. Very weird though, we have no problem joining any other people's server. Again, I apologize for my emotion of frustration of failing playing the game. I hope anyone can help me solve this issue. My humble request. Thanks any of you in advance.

Bluckles Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 https://imgur.com/a/5SvsW43 This is how to verify your game files. There is no guarantee this will work. But it is a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jazzinton Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 From my experience it's best to make a 2 player friends only server and then have them join through steam chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried this, 2 players only, joined through steam friend. It worked. But I will keep it monitoring. I have a gut feeling that won't last long. I will update if there is any. Thank you for your effort in replying me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And either of you are joining by using the global server browser? (I don't think that ever worked for joining local servers - you must you the LAN browser). Have you tried disabling the firewall?

Have you tried disabling the firewall? - We are on the same network. - We both join by using Global server browser. (We create an online server, not local server) - I read somewhere in steam before, someone mentioned it is better to enable firewall to avoid connection issue, I forgot where is it. Maybe I should test it by disabling the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumina Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Does your server shows up in her listing if she choose the "lan" option ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsPizzaTime Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Could this be similar to the issues the Gorge was having when people set up passworded servers and they couldn't be joined simply because of the password? (Removing password and people could join again). I know its not that exact issue and OP got the problem to work but I've never had an issue like this other than the Gorge problems.
