Hello Friends!
Today my pal and I attempted to return to the multiplayer game that we've been doing weekly / monthly for about a year now. He received the, "joining failed can't join this game right now." I found this thread, so we backed up to a save in a safe area and started from there.
We're at the end of the game, just about to encounter the Nether Brain. Going back to a safe save took us to the Morphic Pool. I think everything is red-zone after that. After playing for a while, we decided to test by having him leave and see if he could join again. He could not.
At this point, we didn't have the five to eight hours that we estimated it might take to play through without an option to save in a safe zone, for the next game.
My question: "Do we know if this is a new feature or a bug?"
He and I thought it might be a patch to increase the difficulty of the bigger battles. This thread, on the other hand, makes it sound like we should be able to save in a red zone and then reload and restart our multiplayer game.
I had a similar multiplayer issue near the endgame, so this sounds more like a bug. It's really frustrating when you've invested so much time into a game and then hit technical problems right at the end. I ended up taking a break from gaming for a bit because of issues like this. During that time I was looking for other ways to unwind and came across
this site which has casino reviews - ended up being a decent distraction whilst waiting for patches. Sometimes you just need to step away and come back to these things later. Anyway, regarding your specific problem, the red zone saving should definitely work in multiplayer. It's not meant to be a difficulty feature. Try verifying your game files or check if any mods might be interfering. Hopefully it gets sorted before your next session.
