Thank you for reporting, I see from your logs that you have something custom in your command line argument

Can you remove the +connect_lobby 109775242969306156 from wherever you have this set up and try again?

Thank you. Sorry for the delay in response. I work 10 hour days Monday-Thursday. Any tips on how to find this? I didn't put that in there as far as I know. I only ever added and removed things from the Mods folder before the 1.0 release. I have removed all mods.

No worries!

Are you launching the game from Steam (and not some kind of mod launcher)? If so, there's two places I'm aware of you could try checking

In Steam Library, right click the game and select Properties

Under General tab, do you have anything filled out in the Launch Options?

If the text field is empty, try setting the dropdown to "Show game launcher" and then start the game to bring up the below popup and see if you have anything in "additional parameters" field

I am using steam. I don't have anything listed in either of those locations.

I am considering uninstalling again. Using Revo to search for any remaining files. Restarting my computer and reinstalling after that.

Hmm, how are you starting the game? Do you have a desktop shortcut, or are you launching it from the steam library? (i.e. the "Play" button), or some other method?

I am having this exact same issue

 

If you're hosting a P2P game, ports 26900 TCP and 26900 - 26902 UDP need to be forwarded (well, they don't NEED to be, but not doing so has a high chance of this happening). Same for servers, the servers you were joining had ports forwarded properly, while your friends did not. Sometimes you can make a connection sometimes you can't, sometimes others can while you can't. Also, adding the game install folder and save folder to Defender/Security exclusions can help with that.

 

The Network Workaround option can also help.

 

General Support is a better place for this, and it also has stickied/pinned posts with further details on how to do all of this, if needed.
