It worked, thank you so much

Yes, I made sure thats on and there was no difference the crashing still happened, Ill disable GameFirst, see if that'll do the trick

Its an Asus Laptop

I've done this already, i was just checking A20 to see if i could join (couldn't find a21 logs, but thought this would convey the same message), but no luck, I have cleaned my stuff before, but I will do it again see if anything changes, thank you The weirdest part is though is my friends can join each other, whereas I crash people that I join and they crash me

And I have validated my game files multiple times as well

This isn't the same friend that joined, I tested with another friend and same thing happened

and multiple different versions of the game

Hello, this game worked pretty well about a year ago for me and friend, but for the past 7 months we've had the same problem of joining and crashing. We both downloaded the game on steam and played it together for a little bit of time before the problem began. We've tried verifying game files and turning on the setting Network Workaround with no such luck. I would appreciate some feedback on how to fix this since Youtube was no help and none of the topics really fit my problem.
