Hello,
I just wanted to see if anyone else was having issues connecting to my server as my friend was having difficulty doing so. I have port forwarded my router and I am using my external IP on the correct port. I know port forwarding is non the issue because he is able to attempt to connect and I receive the on-screen message accompanied by the loading bar shown and his IP saying that he was dropped from the game. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

We have the same issue with one of our friends there is about 5 of us playing but when he tries he downloads at 200bytes , we found out letting him join the server first works but you get to the part where it slows the network of the game down and freezes making it unplayable. Still no dev reply about the issue.

Well we both have 150 Mb/s internet download/25 Mbps upload speeds. I do not think speed is the issue quite frankly. Thank you for your response though and if you find a solution I will be glad to hear it!

Same problem here. Server's speeds are 85Mbps down / 12 Mbps up. It worked before until today.

Update: Removing --peer-to-peer option seems to have fixed it.
