I tried re-hosting a game with several other friends to continue it - one of them during hot join is sticking at 0.00% transferring save for joining the game - everybody else hot joins fine. We have all the right versions - played the game recently starting a new game worked fine. Seems to just be loading the save that's a problem.
I had him delete his game, delete both stellaris game folders - one in the documents/paradox interactive/stellaris and the other in the steam directory. Re-installed the game, turn off his firewall/windows defender. After all that still didn't work. I can't give him the save to host since he doesn't have the DLC - I have to host it.
Is this some issue where he has to set up some port forwarding rules and add an exception for stellaris? I can recall having to do that for other older multiplayer games that've had issues like this. I'm at a bit of a loss really.
