    I just opened up PA and I saw this! So many lobbies to join!

    But when I want to join one, nothing happens, then (after 2-3 minutes) it says "Failed to join lobby". It makes it impossible to play multiplayer for me, which is...well, unfortunate.
    I think I've written something about this a while ago (maybe shortly after release) and the bug (?) is still there. Joining worked pretty fine before release, but now it hinders me from playing PA MP. :confused:

    Are you able to create a MP game / people able to join yours ?
    Are you using some kind of firewall ? Can you try to disable it temporary ?

    If you didn't already vote for developer attention on the tracker: PA#4049. And then just use the Faster Server Browser Mod as a workaround.

    Really no need to create another thread (just more mess for the moderators to clean up & repost the same info over again).

    Yes and no. I tried with and without, and:
    1. I can't create (online lobbies)
    2. I can't see*/join other lobbies
    3. sometimes the "Connecting to PlayFab" takes quite a long time/never finishes
    Edit: Now I tried again without mods and with the Steam Client and it seems to work...after it didn't work for the past weeks.
    Edit Edit: Sometimes, it still takes a really long time to load the lobby list.

    The Faster Server Browser mod has been euthanised and is no longer available.

    @masterdigital please see the discussion: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rip-faster-server-browser-mod.63947/page-3#post-1017489

    Okay, it's ridiculous.
    Loading lobbies in the browser takes 30+ seconds, I can't join a game (good ol' useless Join button) and creating a lobby will go into an eternal loading screen.
    Ehhhhhhh.

    Just a quick update: I think it's actually fixed now...loading Browser took like 2 seconds and joining the Lobby didn't took long either. Really nice, Uber!

    I get this sporadically. No mods. I haven't seen it recently though so maybe it's fixed? I still sometimes get "failed to join" a game that is apparently there and open (and still there when I get back from the kick to the main menu) but I haven't seen the "sit, wait and do nothing and then fail to join later" problem in a few days, at least.
