Does anyone have any idea on a solution for this and is there somewhere we all have to register and have a friends list to guarantee a person to be in the list? I have been in multiple forums and tried multiple ideas with no luck and would appreciate any help. The game has also been set to allow through internet options for all parties. We have also tried running a clean mod free install and searching for his farm in multiplayer, again with no luck. We have played with all the settings in option and even tried connecting through Continental Europe and Deutschland like someone in another forum has mentioned to try with no luck. There are no routers involved so we don't need port forwarding, Firewalls and anti-virus programs are all shut off so the game isn't being blocked. He lives a couple hours away but it shouldn't be an issue considering we are seeing names from other areas and countries that we can connect to. This invite may be expired, or you might not have permission to join. When we try to find our friend's farm in the multiplayer list, it doesn't come up for us to connect to. This is the official Farming Simulator server run by Giants Software. I can find and connect to my brother's farms without a problem in multiplayer but we are in the same house. Next I guess I’ll introduce mods one at a time to see if I can narrow down the ones that cause more problems.Ok, i know there are numerous posts on this topic but the issue i am having hasn't been resolved in any forum from what i see. To make sure it wasn’t a fluke I turned back on a few mods such as Road runner, govt subsidy and a few others on elm creek and it’s back to 10%. No changeĮlm creek, no mods - consistent stable connection to mp server. I then allowed all traffic into the VM with no filtering just in case there was a port the Xbox needed. Restarting the host, fs server service or the server instance didn’t allow the Xbox to connect where it previously did intermittently work. I’ve been messing around today with various iterations of a self hosted server. When the game does decide to load, the little loading circle seems to get a bit "crunchy" (doesnt move at an even speed and stutters), and eventually little dots with game tips pop up and then it starts to actually connect/he gets the join request and so on, just not sure what triggers it to actually DO that. A quick google showed a few other folks saying the same thing, is it common for loading to get stuck at 10% and if so is there a known fix? We'd massively appreciate any help. Sometimes it DOES randomly seem to work but we cant work out what might be different/happening to make this work.

No firewall blocking rules or anything like that. We've tried verifying game files, uninstalling and reinstalling, making games without using platinum, restarting pc/console, literally just waiting on the loading screen for half an hr+ etc. When trying to join his game, my loading screen keeps getting stuck at 10%. My friend and I are trying to play farming simulator with crossplay - he is hosting the game on PC and I am playing on Xbox.
