Hey. Im having issues with this too. The LAN server works just fine but when I try to join my friend on his game, it shows a loading screen forever but then times out. He can join my game though just fine. Thoughts?
Interesting; glad it's working at all , that's the main thing ... Not familiar enough to say what it is but could guess a few things - maybe either the network software or Wonderlands is being weird and needs a restart -maybe a slow host/joiner's connection - Maybe something in the game settings Couldn't say with certainty but at least it does work at all ; hopefully shift will become more stable soon and it will be able to take over anyway ....
Has been working well as a PC workaround , not sure about consoles , may be a way to set up console network as LAN with this method or something similar but couldn't say , haven't got a console to try with :c Surprised SHIFT isn't working yet , would have hoped it was only the launch volume lagging it out before settling down... :c
they seem to be down today at least. never had this problem before but cant seem to get it to work when i finally get a couple friends online at the same time lol
Searching and adding friends is handled by SHiFT , this is part of the issue I had as well , it wouldn't connect properly and let me go online , or sometimes wouldn't let me see/add friends (or at leas fail to do it) Using this approach you set up a LAN connection which anyone on the network can see. It's kinda like a server browser list but for LAN only As long as you and your friend(s) set up the VPN to connect to the same network it should show any available games in the LAN tab and allow connection , without needing to invite.
Its been like this with every borderlands I've played when they launched with the option to play with friends or just online why should this one be any different
Yeah my friend said the same , shift services have often been shakey. Apparently BL2 netcode was so messed up people STILL use strats like this sometimes for a more stable experience.
It's worked for me and others , maybe some troubleshooting is in order 🤔 - Ensure Radmin is online and you're both connected - Maybe relaunch Radmin and Wonderlands (I've always connected Radmin then launched Wonderlands) - in Wonderlands , I noticed the privacy options are a bit weird and each time I click the loot options or the settings button again it looks like it un-selects the LAN option , not sure if it does but looks weird , so click LAN and then the +party button straight after - LAN tab shows available LAN connections , so for you the other person will have to be ready for someone to join - If it still won't show up consider adding a new network and trying to connect to that one ; copy-paste the name to any co-op partners -When a friend connects in Radmin it'll show them under the network with green connected bars so make sure they're showing up in Radmin Hopefully some of that helps ; has definitely been working. Wasn't for me , but suppose something more complicated like a firewall or other setting might be getting in the way but don't think it should ...
Using this workaround still works , have had trouble with SHiFT since making this video and still been able to switch to LAN and get a stable , working connection
Yeah I bought it on PS4 and I can't even play the f***** it won't let me sign up that play the damn game yeah I like the game but how can I play it if I can't it won't even let me make my character name to play the game and I just bought the game now I know why it's half off because game issues
Play on PS4 and it won't even let me sign up to play the f****** game sorry my language I'm just getting super mad because I bought the game and now I can't even play the game start the game can you play the game wasted my money because I can't play it and it's on PS4 they need to fix this so no one else wasted their money
I don't have a console so I couldn't say.... There might be a way to use a similar strategy for a console, somehow connecting it through a pseudo-LAN connection , but i have no way to experiment , test it and confirm or deny... Hopefully someone with consoles has found a good solution 🙏
Currently the SHiFT service seems to be working again, but remember this will ALWAYS work for any future outages , too 👍
1 year and 4 dlcs later and gearbox can't be bothered to fix a dang friends list.
It's still fucking up for me and my friends. We all use PS4 and its still not letting us join eachothers lobbies
@@TheMrCaden101it makes me so sad because the gameplay is so much fun
Definitely the best work around for the server issues right now!!!!!
Completely saved my co-op plans for playthrough on launch with a friend ! 20+ hours of success !

I have the same problems. I can join my friend but he cannot. Could be a windows/firewall thing
So basically if you can't connect a VPN to your console you're fucked.
Maybe - I haven't got console so haven't had any exposure to console workarounds
Hope there is something available for console, too.
And crossplay still not working
my cross-platform friends never goes online in the friend list

V47 update might have broken BiggerLobby , "MoreCompany" seems to be the top pick lobby mod now
has anyone figure out how top play pc with ps5 players? only people i see is epic game and shift are all offline.
The issue I'm having is it isn't letting me search for or add any friends

But hey, besides the netcode the game has been great! Glad there has been a workaround to save the launch weekend experience :)
@@Merlin_UA-cam yeah I'm enjoying it after all its stopped me playing elden ring
no lan appearing using your work around following all the steps??????

- Ensure Radmin is online and you're both connected
- Maybe relaunch Radmin and Wonderlands (I've always connected Radmin then launched Wonderlands)
- in Wonderlands , I noticed the privacy options are a bit weird and each time I click the loot options or the settings button again it looks like it un-selects the LAN option , not sure if it does but looks weird , so click LAN and then the +party button straight after
- LAN tab shows available LAN connections , so for you the other person will have to be ready for someone to join
- If it still won't show up consider adding a new network and trying to connect to that one ; copy-paste the name to any co-op partners
-When a friend connects in Radmin it'll show them under the network with green connected bars so make sure they're showing up in Radmin
Hopefully some of that helps ; has definitely been working.

Is it possible to link players between PS5 and PC (cracked) players?
Having and issue where the server is popping up for me and my friend
Used to be able to get randoms to join my game on console on pc i get network error every time
I play with a lan cable always I plug it out and I can change my setting to online and it works for a while
Thanks! { since SHIFT is still buggy for me.. }
Surprised it's a full week after launch and SHIFT is still being weird ; glad it helped :)
what if you are online and not like you showed but still cant join friends?

But what about console
I don't have a console so I couldn't say....

Hopefully someone with consoles has found a good solution 🙏
Great so I'll waste my money for the game don't even have a computer to do that
