My friend cant find my GAME

Post by HyPeran501 »

Hey!
So my friend he lives like 10 min away from me and we wanted to play fs17 together. The problem is that when i create a game he cant find it but when he creates a game i can find it.
I have no clue what the problem can be so maybe u guys know what is wrong or if u had the same problem. He cant be the host because i lag so much, i cant drive anything at all.
Yes we have the same update on the game.

If either of you have high long then it's going to be pretty much unplayable. Go to pingtest.com and post the result here and both of ye try this. https://farming-simulator.com/networkGuide.php

This is most likely due to a mismatch of downloaded maps and mods. When you create a game, you've got some DLC/maps/mods enabled that your friend doesn't have, which locks him out of your hosted sessions, but you have everything he has so you can see/join his hosted sessions.
For troubleshooting you should create a game session on a stock map (Goldcrest or Sosnovka) and when creating it make sure you do not enable any DLC/maps/mods.

Also if it is console version you are playing ensure all privacy settings in your profile are set correctly. If anything t all has a restriction ie only friends can see your online status etc then this affects multiplayer settings. I know because myself and a friend had this problem last week and figured out that was what the problem was
