[PC] "Unable to join session" error when joining friend's match or accepting friend's invite

I have no problems joining random Garden Op games via custom search or creating a match myself. I do not have problems with multiplayer mode either.

However, if I try to invite my friend to my match, she receives the "Unable to join session. Please check your network connection". Or if I try to join her match, I'll receive the same error, and vice versa. I have tried joining her game after she joined a random party's game, but the room would say waiting for players(even though the game already started), and then the same error appears seconds later. Summary: I can play with random strangers except my friend. Is there a bug when linking a game to someone from the friend list? My firewall is turned off.

    Some people were disabling Origin and that was causing issues.  Make sure everything is on becuase the invites are through Origin I think

    My friend and I both have "enable origin in game" turned on. We also added the rules and ports to the firewall as suggested but it still doesn't work =/

  • The only consistent way I've found to join a friends game, is to join when their game is loading.  Right at that moment if you hit join, you should get in.

    Same issue here. Joining my two friend keep me getting "unable to connect. check internet connection" and when I create the lobby, my 2 friends that try to join me keep getting that message until i'm getting that message too. This game is completely broken.
