Windows Unable to play Co-op on PC - No invite code available

[maccaman8]

A friend and I are have been playing coop for about a week now. We log in tonight to play and both of us have no invite code button available.

When I host there is no invite code and he has no where to add it in.

We've tried:
-Changing steam names
-Deleting startup preferences
-Reinstalling the game
-Restarting the game about 50 times
-Restarting the computer.

Yes steam is open for both of us, can see steam friends whilst on stardew but no way to do it.

Hi, same here. It worked fine for about 2hrs and then kicked out my wife about 20 minutes ago. For both of us the "enter friend code" option isn't showing up anymore. Also clicking on the coop button in the main menu brings up the "connecting to online services" dialogue which stays there for a solid 30 seconds. It makes me think something with steam is not really working, but idk.

We tried the same as you. Steam is open and we're connected to the internet. Whenever I host a game there's also no invite code the game just says that I'm hosting a multiplayer game.

Yup same problem here. Just says connecting to online services. Guessing the servers are down?

Hello, i had the same problem. I've resolved that problem. My girlfriend connected via `IP` to my hosted farm. I had to open CMD as admin, then type `ipconfig`, then i copied `IPv4 Address` to her. She've joined successfully.

how do you copy the address to them?

 

[Jufemia]

Same too.
It worked yesterday, but today nor me or my boyfriend can host co-op or join it. We thought it has something to do with mods, but even vanilla doesnt work

Jesus...
the game does not allow you to run online functions... I can't play with my wife... Everything worked yesterday...
I just can't, it's unbearable, this game is my last joy in this life... Help!!!

Can you explain how you solved the problem? Me and my cousin have the same problem too...

 

[Shiantic]

i tried entering to the game with my grandpa but i cant play because of this problem

 

[rehvid]

Ok, i mean she had to be in game, then she chose `coop`, then she clicked `Join to game LAN`, and she typed my IPv4 Address.

Do you both use the same wi-fi or not? Because i tried that way but it doesn't work for us.

Same problem, can I go out on a limb here? Is everyone who is having this problem:

A) on windows 11
B) recently received an update INCLUDING co-pilot?

Windows may have changed something on the backend, which stardew valley may have been using to connect. Co-Pilot probably isn't messing this up, but I'm using it as a marker to check if people have had the update.

I am on windows 11 and recently installed an update (not sure what co-pilot means and if it was included). This update broke a bunch of things, took me at least 7 hours to get everything back to normal state...

However, coop was working even after update up until today

I'm sitting on 10 without updates...

I am also having this issue - no option to join a multiplayer game either in Steam or outside of Steam. I've not recently done an update. The multiplayer join code doesn't come up as it once did

Yep, we use the same wi-fi
