Friend Cant Join my game, Non Dedicated Server.

https://pastebin.com/pdsXwvhP

I've tried every fix I could ever think of, We can both play on servers just fine, but theres always that issue when trying to play peer to peer. Ive tried opening my ports, disabling and adding exceptions to firewall, exceptions for antivirus. disabling anti cheat, Network workaround on. and a few others. I'm very new to this. Thanks in advance for any help, it is very appreciated because im frustrated. We are both on xbox gamepass for PC.

I’m not as comfortable reading gamepass logs but it sure looks like EOS is declining the connection. Most of the time it’s related to antivirus software blocking the connection. I know that you said that exclusions were added, but double check that both players create exclusions for both the game folder AND saves folder. Disabling antivirus, especially Windows Defender, does not help. The person hosting the game needs to forward tcp 26900 and udp 26900-26903 ports in their router. Lastly, if either of you are running any network optimizer software like Asus Gamefirst, disable it. 

 
So I added a few more exclusions. made sure he did exactly the same, port is still forwarded, but I have some new info on his side, Everything was perfect on his log except for 

EXC invalid stored block Lengths
ERR NCSimple_Deserializer (ch=0) Message: invalid stored block lengths
EXC invalid stored block lengths
INF Exited thread NCS_Reader_0
INF Disconnect

The solution for the exclusions I double checked mine and his, added a few more in there for good measure. Cant add the exe as an exclusion since gamepass just doesnt allow it.
