will you guys fix the lost connection when you have a long loading, connecting friends, yeah like we intend to solve most of those issues sometimes it's really difficult to kind of reproduce it on our end, so we really rely on people being able to like help us out on that and then post it on the keyway site, if somebody, what are the questions somebody asked me last stream hey snook could you set up so we have more commands for the bot and I said sure thing and I didn't do it

[Laughter]

, but make sure to draw if you're running into issues make sure to drop it on the the qa site, some people on the steam forums have like found workarounds or sometimes even on the qa side people have found workarounds, ask around some sometimes it's like most often if I'm gonna be like I know I'm shifting the blame a bit here but most often it has something to do with like your your on your end like it's not it's on us when it comes to optimizing the game and if it's not connecting or if they're bugs but but oftentimes it's like router related or firewall related at least the times I get involved with people, the 501 is the most common one I've when I'm helping people, it's something like like try disabling your firewall see if it runs if it does after you disable it add like, exceptions to your firewall for your game, if you're running into the issue where like you're played together for a long time and then suddenly when you try to load up a big save you can't connect that's usually because like it's such a huge save and it's trying to send so much data try fiddle around in the in game like there's a quality setting for the network setting, try changing that up and down both up and down like try improve like significantly improving it quality wise or decreasing it it's it's kind of weirdly named right now I think it's a call like normal or high or something that it's kind of weird, but try fitting around both on client and on host and make sure to restart the game in between, and, yeah google around there's there's a lot of helpful threads already, which makes my job a lot easier because there are like a vast amount of reasons why sometimes people can't connect and there's no like one good solution to it unfortunately network place is complicated so yeah
