Cannot join co-op.
I’ve played through the entire game with my friend (we both own it on Steam) without any issues. Now we’ve decided to go back and complete all the achievements, just like we did with Trine 4. However, we’ve encountered a problem: for some reason, I can no longer join his party, and he can’t join mine either.

When we try, it simply says “Loading game” and then displays “Unable to join game currently.” We’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:

- Inviting each other through Steam’s Shift+Tab overlay.
- Creating a new game and joining via the multiplayer menu.
- Clearing appdata
- Using different internet connections.
- Restarting our internet routers.
- Restarting our PCs.

Other co-op games, such as The Forest, work fine for us. Can anyone help us identify what might be causing this issue or provide a solution?

Same here.
One plays on pc, other on xbox. We normally played on two occasions and couldn't join multiplayer game any more.

I've always had issues with playing any game online if Epic Online Services is used...which this game has (and forces you to use it for online)............

I have the same problem. It never worked. I haven't found a solution. I bought the game specifically for this. What can the developers say?

Hi,

As mentioned here, the game uses Epic Online Services to allow for crossplatform multiplay. You should be able to check the status of EOS from https://status.epicgames.com/ How well (in realtime) it tracks the actual status I can't say. For crossplatform cases there's little you can do the alleviate this other than wait for such issues to be resolved. But on PC you can disable the use of EOS and try connecting that way. This can be achieved by doing the following:

- Make sure the game is closed
- Navigate to %appdata%/Trine5 and open options.txt on any text editor
- Add the following line to the file setOption(networkModule, "UseEOS", false)
- Save the file and try again

This will disable using EOS on PC, do note that both you and your friend(s) need to have the setting set the same way. To re-enable EOS (and thus possibility for crossplay) you can either remove that line or set the final parameter to true

Hope this helps.
