instantly losing connection when joining a friend through steam

whenever i join my friend through steam, for ~10 seconds it says joining friend, and then it says lost connection. i tried joining with different characters and with my mods disabled, and tried joining a fresh world he made with no mods, but nothing has worked. and i confirmed that we are on the same version of tmodloader, 2023.11.3.3. he was also able to join me through steam when i hosted a world.

Welcome to #support-forum. Before someone helps you, please first consult the information in #TML Troubleshooting Guide and try all the suggestions that might fit your particular issue, especially in the linked FAQ page. If the information in the pinned thread does not solve your issue, please post all log files by dragging and dropping them into this chat. In Steam right click on tModLoader in the library, then hover over Manage and click on Browse local files. In the folder that appears find tModLoader-Logs and open that folder. Inside that folder are the logs files. Select them all except the Old folder and drag them into this chat. If you need a visual guide to this process watch this: https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/assets/4522492/3f4efa43-753f-4733-b630-ba85e711340c

What about joining through IP address instead?

neither of us know how to set that up or port forward

Port forwarding should be automatic, all you should need to do for typical setups is check your public ip address https://www.canyouseeme.org/
