Solution for "Failed to join game: Connection timed out" error image 1

I've recently become a victim of this annoying ass bug where you can't be joined or join any online lobby, even if your friends invite you, you try the join code, or just shift tab join.

Unfortunately it seems this has been a bug for quite some time and everyone has tried everything to fix it. I have personally tried: turning off my computer, restarting my internet, verifying my game, and reinstalling my game fresh, upon many other things. All of which did nothing to solve this issue. Everything I have read says people who had this issue in the past just had to wait and eventually it just randomly goes away. I ain't bout that.

Luckily I was able to find one thing that helped me and can help y'all.

Step 1. Installation

Here's how we solve it, until it ♥♥♥♥♥ off.

Make sure any friends that you want to join you follow along as they'll need to do this too.

Firstly, open this link (https://www.radmin-vpn.com/), or simply search for Radmin VPN on your preferred search engine. Make sure you open Radmin VPN because for me the first result was another software for something else also under the name Radmin.

The website should look like this:

I recommend using this site because it's free, easy to install, and doesn't need an account or anything to setup and use. (I believe Hamachi would also work here).

Most of you should know what to do at this point. If you don't, click the free download button and launch Radmin VPN once it's installed.

Step 2. Setup

This part is simple too. They all are.

Launch Radmin VPN, you should see this.

From here, if you're the host, you just need to click on Network at the very top.

Click on Create Network and put in a name and password.

For your friends that are joining they can just click on the same Network tab, then join network from there. At the end you should see each others PCs under the Network.

Step 3. Fin

The conclusion to my masterpiece.

Launch the game, and join each other. I don't believe the network host has to be the game host but in our case we decided to do it that way just to be safe.

This has worked for me but this is possibly the dumbest bug ever and CA has seemingly done nothing to help us about it. If y'all run into any issues with this leave a comment and hopefully we can all figure this ♥♥♥♥ out together.
