Bill MergedMy brother hosts and myself and my son try joining his game. My son can get on on but my computer keeps kicking me back to the start screen with network error 61. I can play alone with no issue but can never seem to join his hosted game. I have successfully join his game one time in about a hundred trys on different occasions. What is this error 61 ?

mike MergedWe began the Ice storm: Expedition mission and brought all our gear (Spear, pick axe, axe, and backpack). after we logged off the next time we tried to load back in and kept saying "error: connection -62" and then when we tried again to load in the "preparing Geometry..." would play over and over until it finally brings me back to the main menu with the original error code. I had to delete the mission and lost all my gear.

pickleMe and my partner were playing peer to peer, we logged off for the night and then the next day I couldn't connect; every time I try I get error 61 code. so we tried it the other way round where I host a peer to peer and the same thing happens with him. he's not able to get into my world. he gets the same message error 61. we have 68 hours into he game and have just bought the expansion which I'm now regretting. we have cleared cashes, uninstalled the game, verified game files and checked everything is up to date and the same version. Nothing seems to work. we have spent all these 68 hours playing together in a peer to peer world. i can play on my own world but not on our joint one.
