Hey Nimi31, have you tried going through our troubleshooting?

You might want to also check your firewall to make sure it is not blocking Sins.

Hi,

I don't know about the guy, but I found that after some time, about 2~3 weeks since I played last in online mode - there is no Internet MP. To be precise it is disconnected somehow. I was wondering if it is my net, but the other games I have don't have it and run theirs as it should. The only indication that something went wrong is that Steam finds a missing file and tries to fix it. Do you have a fix for the subject?

P.S.: Is there a way to see if the server is working or not?

Kind regards,

why is connecting to multiplayer so difficult and non responsive?!?,... I put in known good credentials to the ICO Login screen and it returns "Network Error - Disconnected from ironclad Online."

What can I do to play SOSE game multiplayer over the internet with a friend.  The game is great, what is going on???  This is so frustrating!

Hello ,

I bought the game yesterday on steam and i having the same issue.

I run the game, when i try to play the multiplayer, the screen freezes for a while and shows the message "Network error: disconnected from internet multiplayer".

I gave admin permissions. checked the firewall. did all the procedures above and in the troubleshooting section. reinstalled the game. Tried the procedure the same as Not_Sure above.

After all, i played with Dev.exe and got this message on debug file.

And that´s the log file:

That´s all the info i have to solve the problem... i just want to play this game with my friend ASAP....

Yes, i only see the GDPR notice when i play with the dev.exe version, i click on accept and shows the message "Network error: disconnected from internet multiplayer".

when i play with the normal version the GDPR notice don't appear , freeze the screen and shows the message "Network error: disconnected from internet multiplayer"

I found out ICO Online is now defunct,... I found success installing Hamachi VPN and making a connection that way with my distant friend. There are youtube vids that show you how to do it.  https://www.vpn.net/

* once connected,... your computers think you are on a Local LAN, worked great.

Its seems that if i want to play with my friends i need to use hamachi as our friend pianohohn said, since the multiplayer still don´t work for me, its a unfortunate situation since i recently bought the game just for multiplayer and i need to use outsourced programs to run the game correctly. i wish i could even got a final answer from the support team about this problem.
