Windows Disconnected at : 11:17:16 - HostLeft Ping: -1 friend/invite - Co-op barely works anymore

Hi all,

Have been playing for years but now multiplayer (invite via Steam or invite code) either barely connects or drops out after 10 minutes of playing saying "Connection Failed"
We're both on the same wifi network and have the same update installed.

Any one had this and resolved it?

Error log below for those who are technically literate! Dunno if its a port thing or something?

Hi all,

Seems to work if I stop being invited by Steam / invite code and connect via LAN, managed to pay for an hour or so last night and this morning without any "connection failed" errors.

Steps below for ease of reference:

On host's PC:
Windows key + R
"cmd"
"ipconfig"
Find IPv4

On joiner's PC
Connect via LAN
Enter their IPv4

Happy Valley'ing!
