Same thing happened with me and 3 friends, sadly I don't think there's anything else we can do to fix this, it's already a miracle this is working as it is

It works! TYSM!

I cannot get this to work. Everything about this works the way it should up until we click join game in game. We can see each other's sessions in every multiplayer mode, but when my friend tries to connect, he gets waiting for network, then it dumps him back to the multiplayer menu. The same happens when I try to join his session. The same thing happens no matter what protocol we use. We're on windows 11, which I wonder if that messed something up.... maybe we should try compatibility mode or something.
