Can't connect with friends

[ryoma]

So me and my friends installed some mods (the exact same all of us, look photo) but afterwards we can't connect to each other, there's just no join option on steam or anywhere else nor an invite option. We tried validating on steam but it didn't help, and we have made a new world 3 times now which hasn't changed anything.

here is 2 different ones which should be server log and my own log

If anything else is needed to help just let me know!

Hm so can yall join any MP games or servers? From you logs, you do have mods that are failing to load. I would remove them certainly to start

Mods failing to load, and incorrect versions. Add mod compatibility issues as well, and you'll have problems even if you get connected.

Dedi server is same as host?  On the same PC? Or both are PC logs?

Do you know what mods are failing to load? Sorry i dont know how to see that, also I haven't tried joining others since I was guessing it would be an automatic no since I was using mods and they weren't

If you are the host, it's the same log.

From your logs...

Then later in the log, you've got a bunch of errors. Either the mod is incompatible, or is dependent on another mod either not installed, or not loaded.



Also, don't forget to exclude the client and save data folders from security software. I cover this in detail in the Pinned Support FAQ thread. If you do not, you are very likely to have issue with the connections, and with client/save data being corrupted.

Sylen covered it, but to add: you can  tell by looking at how the mods load and interact in the log. When you start seeing ERR with things like "could not load" "could not parse" "did not apply", you know they aren't working properly and can cause issues. Releasing render texture that is set as Camera.targetTexture! at the end in the first log is definitely a sign the game isn't loading properly.
