So I purchased another copy for a friend to play with me. Unfortunately, despite attempts with my ISP at port forwarding, it's not a possibility with how it's set up for my location. I have a red nat type, yet no problems connecting to matches, staying in matches, or completing matches. However, whenever we try to join a group, I cannot join her group, and she cannot join when I invite either. It will consistently say "fail to join group, try again later" despite restarts all around. Is there any workaround or fix for this?

Hey @thighs-uwu

I have just merged your thread with another. I'm sorry to hear you have a strict NAT type and are unable to party up with your friend. As you are unable to do the port forwarding, maybe you can try using a different connection? If you are able to use mobile phone data instead of the wifi, and set the mobile phone up as a hotspot to connect to, it may help. It's not an ideal solution or ideal to play on mobile data, but it's something you could give a try and see if it gives you a better NAT type.
