[2022] CK3 Multiplayer seemingly takes ages to join?

Being on the same Lan makes no difference, all MP play goes via the Nakama servers.

CK2 however uses Steam MP servers.

I see you have EU4, which can use eitherMP service at your option at startup time - do you find it is slow with the Nakama option but fast with the Steam option?  

That is interesting, I have not seen other reports that Nakama being so much slower that Steam MP. Not really sure what to make of that to be honest!

Can you try connecting via a VPN and see if it is still like that?

Is this just happening between you two? Can you both test with some third person and see whether either, both, or neither of you get this problem in that situation?

Thanks!

Both you and your brother still get this slowness with a third person, are you saying?

Is there any way you can try this from some other location?
