The big problem:
Friends accept Steam invites (via Spacewar - AppID 480) but get stuck on a loading screen. No error messages show up. It’s just an endless loading loop.
We’ve followed guides and tutorials, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how to fix it? We’re really hoping to play together soon!
Ran into this with R.E.P.O too. So frustrating when you just wanna play with friends. Have you guys all restarted your routers? Sounds dumb but it cleared up connection issues for us once. Worth a shot if you haven’t tried it yet.
I’ve had similar issues with OnlineFix for other games. Sometimes it’s just finicky. Have you tried using a VPN? That’s helped me before when friends couldn’t connect.
Also, double check that everyone has the exact same version of the game and OnlineFix files. Even small differences can cause connection problems.
If all else fails, you might want to look into other multiplayer workarounds like Hamachi or Parsec as alternatives.
Man, OnlineFix can be a real pain sometimes. I had issues with R.E.P.O too. Did you guys check if your antivirus is blocking anything? That messed things up for me until I added an exception. Might be worth a shot.
