Hello,
I bought the game in 2018, played a bit, could not get into it, let it rest.
4 days ago some friends of mine started playing so I told to myself why not give it another go.
I can play the game in solo just fine and it works perfectly, no issues.
I have been trying for 4 days to join that server but nothing seems to work.
I tried every guide, every step I could find on the net.
First block was due to EAC I think, I kept being stuck at the "receiving and loading settings" or something like that.
Then the server "owner" removed EAC from the server settings because we're playing between friends with no strangers so no one will cheat.
Second block was on "Starting game..." as I kept being stuck on that screen I could hear the music but could not get into the game (note that when I pressed Alt F4 just before the game exits I could see for a brief moment the environment of the game.
I removed every graphic improvment in AMD Adrenalin Edition that could create an error and let the game handle the settings.
I finally was able to join the game for several minutes.
A friend of mine came to me in game and gave me a bike to help me reach their base and as I was getting near it I started sinking in the ground very slowly.
I went backwards and was able to came back to the surface.
Knowing this could be happening from a network issue, I checked my ping which was around 12 ms.
I then did a ping-t on the server's IP adress and waited for 100 pings and had 0 (zero) packet loss.
Came back into the game sinked again, could not come back above and quit.
Since that I tried everything but the game is blocked at the "starting game..." screen with seemingly no error message in the console (but I can be mistaken)
The longest I waited is 30 minutes on that screen with music coming and going from time to time but nothing else.
I don't know what to do anymore and would like some help
Thank you
