Jepopoi 4 Posted June 10, 2022 Me and my friends like this game so much but find it hard to play it. I have an exploration pack and it worked before when they joined my game but recently, like 30 mins ago it doesn't anymore. I want to explore the world with my friends, is there any other way to do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BinarySemaphore 31 Posted June 10, 2022 The team is on a team retreat until Monday. I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the game gives a set time for exploration demo or works as long as you're on the "starting yland". If one of your friends is missing the exploration DLC, it's not purchased via steam store. You're friend can get it in the Yland's in-game store. Hope this helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiritchaser28 918 Posted June 10, 2022 I know for a fact if some of your friends do not own the exploration DLC they won't be able to join you in exploration. They will be limited to the tutorial Yland in Exploration until they purchase the DLC. That being said, if they all own the DLC the best way to invite them is in game when you have the map fully loaded. Press esc, then click invite friends. If some of them are having trouble connecting it may be because you are hosting and your computer can only handle so many people, or because someone trying to connect to your sharegame has a slow computer or connection (The devs recommend 8gb RAM but I personally recommend 16 to 32 gb ram for multiplayer). If you make the game a sharegame you can have a friend with a more powerful computer host. That seems to work best. The other option is renting a server. When you rent a server nobody is actually hosting except Bohemia. Keep in mind if you only want to play with your friends and don't want some random strangers to join it's best to have your game password protected. That can only be done with a sharegame or rented server. If it's done via sharegame, whoever is on the map first is the host and when they leave it boots everybody out until someone else with the password decides to host.....If it's a dedicated server nobody will get booted out when someone leaves.
