Game constantly disconnects when trying to play with a friend

42 votes

So I have come upon a very strange issue, where whenever I try to join my brothers server it would connect me to him, but the entire world would be missing everything except land and water, [(No trees, rocks, enemies) and it will stay this way until I get disconnected. On my brothers screen the world is fine so it is not a corrupt world, but I would connect and my character would be just running in place until disconnected. The same thing would happen vice versa if I were to host and he tries to join the world would be plain. So we went and tried to join a friends dedicated server instead. A server that already has 6 other people that have no issue connecting. My brother is able to join no problems, but if I were to join there is a much more serious issue than before. If I join the dedicated server not only does the world load plain, but almost immediately I get disconnected, as well as everyone else on the server. Only when I join does it kick everyone off.

This has been happening to my friend for a few days now. We've been trying to troubleshoot it for almost 4 hours now. We've tried multiple dedicated servers, the non dedicated ones, we've had him re-install the game, tried different internet connections. Nothing has worked. Hopefully this thread gets some attention, cause we're trying to play with our boy lol.

Try running the steam file validation on your setup for Valheim.
