Friend and I have the same mod list but can't play in the same convoy?
I downloaded a couple mods to make the game even better imo, my friend bought the game yesterday and we now want to do convoy together. I made him download every single mods I have, the exact same one but he still can't join the session. One mods was outdated and we deleted it both. He still can't join. The message het get is ''Impossible to join session'' with no error message saying that one or many mods are imcompatible or anything like this. What can be the issue? We would like to enjoy some driving together. Thanks a lot!

The 2 things that I'm aware it could be:

1: Mod order. make sure all your mods are all in the same exact order.
2: Your mods are different versions, as in you need to force an update to all you mods by
unsubscribing and resubscribing if they are steam workshop mods... if they are 3rd party mods you'll have to redo the whole download and install process.

But I'm not an expert and it could be something else... but hey at least its something right?

Good luck!

He just told me that when he look at the server list and click on mine, there are no error in the mods list, the only thing is he doesn't have Oregon, Washington and Idaho for the DLC, can this be reason why? Because all the mods I have, he downloaded them and they are all the same version as mine, all up to date.

Yes thats the reason, your freind needs to have all the DLC's you have before he can join your Convoy server.

Another good idea is that you share all your mods with your freind, so both of you have the same mods. And one you don't have another version of the same mods.

you can share your mods with your freind with that you pack all you mods in a Zipfile and sent that to him. Then he only have to get all the Workshop mods when he try to lock in to your server, that he do with to click on the list and he will come to the mod he need, one by one.

Lacking of DLC shouldnt prevent him from joining you, just means he cant go to those locations, and if its a cargo DLC couldnt take that job.

I've had it before where mods were not in the same exact order which prevented the person from joining. Easiest thing to do is get on a voice chat have him disable all the mods, and you read out your mod order to him from bottom to top with him enabling each mod in turn. Do bottom to top because the game puts the most recently enabled mod at the top of the list, so this way he doesnt have to reorder them.

Thats entirely untrue. I was in a convoy this past saturday with a friend who literally only had the base game and the included free DLC.

Thats true you can join a convoy, where you have more DLC's than the host for the server has, but it don't always works the other way around that depends on how you set up your server.

I uninstalled the DLC he did not have and now it's working. Just the thing is now if I want to play on my other profile, I have to reinstall the DLC because now I can't load any save on my main profile because it says that I have missing DLC.

Multiplayer is useless for me because all sessions require you to have the same mods that they do or there session is locked out with a password I can never find one that's green where I can use my own mods
