Hello,
today me and a two friends of mine bought Magicka with all DLCs in the Steam Store.
We tried to play a multiplayer game but couldnt get it to work.
Connecting to the game works fine ...no matter if player A or player B or placer C hosts the game.
Player A + B are on LAN, player C joins the game online via Steam.
BUT: In every case, if player B tries to click "join" after connecting to the game, the games crashes to desktop.
If player B hosts the game, everything is fine until player A or C hit "join" ......player B drops again. It's always player B's game which is crashing.
Singleplayer works fine for him.
We tried everything. Re-installed Magicka. Deleted XNA framework 3.1, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 ...re-installed everything. Used the steam repair tool.
Nothing, nothing, nothing worked for us!
It's a very frustrating situation and we already think of getting a refund, if there isn't a fast solution.
Until now, we tried to solve the problem for about 6-7 hours without any success.
This is what the errorog.thx says:
